Setup over WAN AirPort Express

Hi all,

I just checked the box "Allow setup over WAN" in the AirPort Utility, now, how do I connect to the AirPort Express from my office?

Thanks,

Hi kevin_h,


By checking the box "Allow setup over WAN" you can now configure the base station over the Ethernet network connected to the WAN port (Wide Area Network port) of the Airport Express.


AirPort Utility 6.x: Give your base station or AirPort Time Capsule a name and password

Select Allow Setup over WAN if you want to configure your wireless device over the Ethernet WAN port. This lets you make changes to settings when you’re connected over a network.

This assumes your office is wired to the Airport Express with Ethernet.


Once configured, you can connect to the base station wirelessly.


See the Setup Guide here:
