I have the original airport base station (Graphite) I live in an area with a lot of homes, and im worried about people using my cable internet via the airport. How do I put a password on it? I want to knockout these freeloaders.

I believe the early airports support WEP encryption, which is not great but it is better than nothing.

Click to expand...

Look in your Applications > Utilities folder for any tool that helps with AirPort. I think you'll see a Setup Assistant one and maybe another one...
