16 Setup automatically detects your
access point.
 An access point is detected automatically and setup
proceeds to the next step when
• Setup detects an access point with the same
network name (SSID) as the access point currently
connected to your computer (when using AirPort
Admin Utility version 3.1 or later), and the access
point is not using encryption.
• Setup did not detect an access point with the same
network name (SSID) as the access point currently
connected to your computer (or your computer is
currently not connected to an access point in the
first place), but a single access point without
encryption was detected.
 If the detected access point is using encryption
When setup detects an access point with the same
network name (SSID) as the access point currently
connected to your computer, and the access point is
using encryption (Password (WEP key) or WPA), the
Access Points dialog box is displayed with the access
point highlighted in the list.
Enter the network key (Password (WEP key) or WPA
key) set to the access point and click
Connect .
 If multiple access points were detected
If setup did not detect an access point with the same
network name (SSID) as the access point currently
connected to your computer (or your computer is
currently not connected to an access point in the first
place), and two or more access points were detected, the
Access Points dialog box is displayed.
Select your target access point and click
Connect.
If
WEP or WPA is displayed in the Encryption column,
a network key (Password (WEP key) or WPA key) is set
to your access point. Enter the network key (Password
(WEP key) or WPA key) set to the access point and click
Connect .
