Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

WPA 2 network?

"WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and OS X v10.3 or later." (see: http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs/ -> Point 2)


What does this means? Can I create a WPA 2 network with my MacBook Pro (early 2011)? I don't understand this card thing. Is this something I need to buy to create a WPA 2 network?


O.o

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Stema,


Absolutely, your machine is certainly WPA2 capable. Actually, you'll be using WPA2 personal. (There is a WPA2 enterprise for business networks.) BTW WPA2 is the latest and best option for home networks.

Your computer does have the appropriate wi fi card installed.
