Inside Apple’s iOS 5: AirPort, Time Capsule setup goes PC-free

July 27th, 2011 by Manmohan Leave a reply »

An iPhone running iOS 5 will automatically recognize AirPort Base Station hardware that needs to be set up, and users will be able to accomplish this task through the Wi-Fi Networks option in the Settings application. The new feature was discovered by AppleInsider reader Cameron Pierson, who sent along the included screenshots.

Under Wi-Fi Networks, a new option reads “Set up an AirPort Base Station…” In setting up a Time Capsule, users are given the option to create a Wi-Fi network, complete with password, or “Do something different.”

Selecting the latter option gives users the option to join an existing network, or to replace a base station. Users are also given appropriate error messages or details on how to fix any issues directly from the iOS Settings application.

Upon setting up a Wi-Fi network, users can also select “Show Passwords,” which will display any applicable network password, base station password and disk password so that users may save them for later.
