Simply set the encryption on the wireless router and the next time you 
connect to the network, OS X will ask for the key. I usually switch off 
Airport on the Mac before enabling WEP encryption, then switch it back 
on & choose the network. The key will subsequently be stored in your 
keychain.

WPA is better than WEP provided, I think, you use a long non-dictionary 
password. I read a while back that its in fact easy enough to set WPA 
encryption to be less secure than WEP. 125Mbps wireless is not a 
standard.

Stroller.
