To secure access to your Wi-Fi network, you'll need to provide a password to your Airport device. The WPA2 component refers to the type of security that will be used in conjunction with your password to protect your network against illegal access.

During setup, you'll be prompted to select a Wi-Fi security level as well as a password. WPA2 is the greatest option right now. (Don't forget to use a strong password!)

WPA2 is a security protocol that is widely used on Wi-Fi networks. Since 2006, WPA2 (Wireless Protected Access 2) has superseded the original WPA technology on all approved Wi-Fi devices, and it is based on the IEEE 802.11i data encryption technology standard.
