How do I connect an older Airport Extreme to a MacBook Pro?

jltng,

You can connect your MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme either via Ethernet cable or via WiFi.

The trick is to setup your Airport Extreme as your router or WiFi Access Point whichever applies to your network setup.

In order to do so you need to follow manual and Airport Utility wizards.
