Start with an Ethernet cable and plug it into the WAN port on your

AirPort device. Connect the other end of the

the Internet. The WAN port (Figure 43, left) has a circle of gray dots

above it; the LAN port (Figure 43, right) sports a dotted line with an

arrow on either end.

Figure 43: Left: the WAN port. Right: the LAN port.

in to the correct port.

Now that you’ve made the physical connection, you can configure

your base station to handle the connection. The many different

possible configurations can be broken down into two categories: those

that use dynamic addressing and those that use static addressing:

• If your Internet connection is a home broadband connection, you’ll

probably use dynamic addressing; you may need to ask your ISP for

information if you’re not sure whether they provide you with

a dynamic address or not. For configuration details, read “Dynamic

Addressing,” next.

• A static address is more typical for small and large offices. For setup

information, see Static Addressing, a few pages ahead.

Dynamic Addressing

A dynamic address is an Internet protocol (IP) address that is

assigned through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),
