How do I change network security? I mistakenly selected WPA2 instead of WEP and now my devices won't connect..

If you are using Yosemite (10.10.4) as you indicate in your profile, there are no WEP settings at all in AirPort Utility, the application that is used to administer the AirPort routers.


WPA2 has been an industry standard setting for a number of years.


WEP is long out of date....about a decade.....and easily cracked by free utilities available on the Internet, so most routers introduced in the last 5 years or so do not even include these settings.
