Apple AirPort Express 6.3 WPA/WPA2 Personal Manually configured with password. Specify 2 when prompted by the shell script.
TRENDnet TEW432BRP_c1 v2.00.0012 WEP Does not show up in neighborhood until you attempt to connect to another WAP (e.g. at a neighbors house). The Trendnet then immediately shows up, and you can connect to it instead. Is on channel 9, maybe 1,6,11 would work better.
