    WPA, WEP, or a Network Key is the wireless security type and password required to access a secured Wi-Fi network.

     

    You can find the wireless security key for the AirPort Extreme using the AirPort Utility on your iPad, as follows:

    • Run the AirPort Utility app.
    • Select the AirPort Extreme
    • Select Edit
    • Select Advanced
    • Select Show Passwords
    • Select Main Network
    • The Pre-Shared Key is then provided
