Airport Utility Manual?

Hi,

I am using Airport Utility to manage my Time Capsule (airport extreme) and I am wondering if there is a manual for Airport Utility?

First off - I would like to "password protect" access to my Time Capsule. Basically - any of the clients on my network can login to the Time Capsule and change the configuration....how do I create a password?????

Secondly - There are many Airport Utility screens that provide information and I am not sure what the information means? When I look at my wireless clients they all have "signal", "noise" and "rate" and I am not sure how to interpret this information. There are other screens that I also cannot interpret.

So...is there a manual for this utility?

And...can I password protect my time capsule?

Thanks

There are a number of helpful AirPort guides. Two that I would recommend are:

To directly answer your question about preventing access to the base station administration from network guests, you can set a Base Station password. Only users, that know this password, will be able to administer the base station.

You can set this using the AirPort Utility: AirPort Utility > Select the Time Capsule > Manual Setup > AirPort > Time Capsule tab > Time Capsule Password
