Steps to configure the How-to Schema

Below are the steps for you to configure the how-to schema:

Step 1

Choose a central location inside your home or office where you will place the Apple Airport Base Station.

Step 2

Put your cable modem beside your Airport and connect it to the BNC cable set up in your home. Your cable TV provider typically sets this up for your cable connection. Just install a splitter to split the connection into two, one for your cable TV and another for your Internet connection.

Step 3

Next, connect the cable modem to the Airport using a CAT5 ethernet cable. Ensure the cable modem is connected to the port with the circle above it.

Step 4

Turn on your cable modem first, then turn on the Airport.

Step 5

Turn on both your Mac computers.

Step 6

Open your Safari web browser (or any web browser) to check if you are connected to the Internet automatically. If not, go to System Preferences and click on “Network.”

Step 7

Create a new location by choosing the “edit locations” option and clicking the + sign. Provide a name for your new network location. Your new location will then appear on the menu.

Step 8

On the left side of the window, you will see a list. From there, select your Airport and check the box corresponding to the option “Show Airport Status on Menu Bar.” This way, you can easily change the status of your airport or connect to another network if you wish.

Step 9

You also have the option to set a password to protect your wireless network. You can do this before closing the Network Preferences window.
