Looking for something in the iPad/iPhone Airport App

Hi

I have been waiting for the airport utility for iPad/iPhone to come as I frequently travel with just my iPad and Airport Express. However, I have been unable to configure it when away from home.

So, Apple has released a utility but it appears to be the most important feature for being on the road, that is, the ability to switch connection sharing (so you can hook up to a hotel system).

Is it that I can't find it or it doesn't allow you to do it. In the iPad app, I am looking for the ability to switch between bridge mode and the other two.

Thanks,

Andrew

iPad, iOS 4.3.2

The AirPort Utility App that is available with iOS 5 does pretty much everything that the Mac or PC versions do including controlling both the NAT & DHCP services to allow you reconfigure an AirPort as a bridge.

The exact same options do not appear in the AirPort Utility app, but can be mimiced using the NAT & DHCP option as follows:

Share a public IP address = NAT & DHCP enabled
Distribute a range of IP addresses = NAT disabled & DHCP enabled
Off (Bridge Mode) = NAT & DHCP disabled
