is the 802.11x a better security protocol to use that WAP2?
i've just been looking at our settings here... the router seems to support it, the 2 macbooks we have do... so is it best to set to that?
or is it something that works together with the WAP2?...

802.11b/g/n are different flavors of Wi-Fi (not security encryption protocols like WPA/WPA2/WEP, which are common amongst those flavors). It's best to set your security to WPA2 if your router supports it, if not, set it to WPA. If WPA is not available, check to see if your manufacturer has a firmware update, and if it's up to date and WPA is still not available, it's time to consider purchasing a newer model router.
Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
