Imagine being able to surf the web from any location in your home, office, or campus. Now picture sharing a single Internet connection with up to 50 others using different computers—all without cables.

Powerful, affordable, and incredibly easy to use, AirPort gives you the freedom to use your portable computer anywhere, set up your desktop computer anyplace, and share a single, wireless Internet connection with your family, students, or employees. And you can use it with Macintosh computers and PCs.

Until recently, connecting to the Internet from your portable computer tied you to one network connection and one location. So much for portability. To access the Internet with more than one computer, you had two choices. You could order another telephone line for the second computer—and a second account if you didn’t want to wait your turn to go online. Or you could wire the computers together in a network—drilling holes in walls, running messy cables through rooms, and negotiating complex networking software.

AirPort offers a simple and liberating alternative. Based on an 11-megabit-per-second wireless local area network technology instead of traditional cabling, it is an easy-to-use system that lets you go wireless in minutes.
