How to enter a WEP key with a non-Apple access point
Authored by: drbadass on Feb 25, '04 08:03:41PM

My experience with WEP, in Panther at least, was easier than described. Go into the Airport tab in System Preferences>Network. Select the network you're attempting to connect to from the pull down. After a second or two, it will detect the WEP and ask for a password. Just paste in the WEP key, I used a $ but maybe you don't need that anymore, and then Apply changes. Sometimes, it struggles on the first connect and eventually connects, but from then on it is automatic.

How to enter a WEP key with a non-Apple access point
Authored by: Jamie23 on Feb 25, '04 11:02:30PM

Has anyone had any luck connecting to Cisco AP's? Particularly the 1200 series? I can't for the life of me get it to connect. I have the SSID (which isn't broadcast) as well as the wep key for it but it won't connect. I slap a Cisco card into the PC card slot and using the same SSID and WEB, voila connected. I want to get it to work with the built in Airport Ext. Card. I'm sure Cisco has probably done something propietary here but figured I would ask anyway
