Some third party wireless networking software may not utilize the standard AirPort password. This article describes what to do if your software does not recognize the password.

If you are using a computer with non-Apple wireless software, you may be able to connect to the AirPort Base Station and use it for Internet access. However, the network password you enter may be different from the one an AirPort user would enter.

First try the standard password to see if it works. If it does not then you will want to try the network equivalent password. To find the network equivalent password for your AirPort Base Station, do the following:

1. Open the AirPort Admin Utility.

2. Select your Base Station from the list.

3. Click Configure.

4. When prompted, enter the password for your Base Station.

5. Choose Network Equivalent Password from the Base Station menu.
