Apple AirPort Networks manual Setting Wireless Options

ÂWPA/WPA2 Personal: Choose this option to protect your network with Wi-Fi Protected Access. You can use a password between 8 and 63 ASCII characters or a Pre-Shared Key of exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Computers that support WPA and computers that support WPA2 can join the network. Choose WPA2 Personal if you want only computers that support WPA2 to join your network.

ÂWPA/WPA2 Enterprise: Choose this option if you’re setting up a network that includes an authentication server, such as a RADIUS server, with individual user accounts. Enter the IP address and port number for the primary and optional secondary server, and enter a “shared secret,” which is the password for the server. Choose WPA2 Enterprise if you want only computers that support WPA2 to join the network.

ÂWEP (Transitional Security Network): If your device supports it, you can use this option to allow computers using WPA or WPA2 to join the network. Computers or devices that use WEP can also join the network. WEP (Transitional Security Network) supports 128-bit encryption. To use this option, the wireless device use an 802.11n radio mode. Hold the Option key on your keyboard while clicking the Wireless Security pop-up menu to use WEP (Transitional Security Netowrk).

For more information and instructions for setting up WPA or WPA2 on your network, see “Using Wi-Fi Protected Access” on page 45.
