TidBITS Electronic Publishing has announced the release of its “Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Network” ebook (US$10). Anyone who owns or is considering the purchase of Apple’s new AirPort Extreme Base Station will find real-world advice and detailed setup steps in the 154-page ebook, written by wireless networking expert Glenn Fleishman. The new ebook helps readers choose between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band options, covers using older wireless gear without hurting network performance, and provides advice on smart ways to add an Apple TV to a network. Fleishman makes a point of explaining new AirPort Extreme features, such as attaching and sharing USB drives and reserved addressing, while providing coverage of perennial AirPort topics including how to extend the coverage, range, and security of a base station, how to set up a variety of special Internet configurations, attaching a printer to the base station, and streaming music to an AirPort Express.
