Creating Apple Airport hotspots
Ever since I began Muniwireless.com, I have not seen many news reports of hotspots created using (primarily) Apple Airport Extreme base stations. Am I missing something? I read about little black boxes from Taiwan, Vivato Wi-Fi switches and Tropos Networks Wi-Fi cells, but never Apple Airport Extreme.

So, just to dispel the notion that you cannot build a hotspot using Apple Airport base stations, I have compiled a list of resources for those who want to build such a network, whether for private or public access.
Apple Airport Extreme website – this is part of Apple’s website and contains a lot of information about Airport Extreme as well as links to hotspot directories.
Designing Airport Extreme Networks – a PDF document that explains how to do just that, which you can download from the Apple website or from here.
Cross-Platform Airport Wireless Networks – an excellent guide to using Apple Airport base stations with Windows PCs.
Sharing Apple Base Station Experiences – a wealth of information about setting up wireless networks using the Apple base station.
Freebase – free Windows software which is used for configuring the Apple Airport base station.
Linux on the Apple Airport – a good resource for people using Linux with the Apple Airport base station.
Apple Airport Weblog - a blog written by Glenn Fleishman who is behind the terrific blog, Wi-Fi Networking News.
