The Internet Connection pages are most likely left alone. My internet service provider (Cox), like most ISP’s, gives me my IP address automatically via DHCP through the cable or DSL modem so all these settings were automatically configured when I first installed the Extreme using the installation instructions provided by Apple. However, here’s the screens, just so you can compare them to yours if you need to.

My printer is hooked up to the USB port on the back of the Extreme, even though it’s a network printer. I’ve had all sorts of issues trying to print through the network on this printer (Dell Laser MFP 1600n) so this was an easy and welcome way to skip my issues with the USB port on the Extreme. Honestly, it was one of the main reasons I bought an Extreme to replace my old wireless router. I’ve had no problems with it ever since.

I have a Western Digital NetCenter network hard drive so I have nothing configured in the Disks section. Additionally, the USB port is filled up with the printer (as stated above) so I wouldn’t be able to plug anything in here anyway.

I didn’t even touch the advanced tab either, but here are the screen, just in case you might need them for reference.

So, there you have it! All of my configuration screens for the AirPort Extreme. I’ve had no issues with my network since I set it up this way and it’s been real nice being able to play iTunes through my AirPort Express hooked to the stereo in the living room. Speaking of the Express, It was a lot tougher to set up for some reason, but once I had the Extreme figured out, it went super smooth, so hopefully the Express screens in the next section will help you too.
