[QUOTE="miggles, post: 50136, member: 5662"] Following up to my post, I discovered two things. First, the recent firmware update has changed the behavior of the factory reset button on the airport express. Now what it does is adds and activates a new untitled profile in the default settings and keeps the old profiles. Kudos to Apple for implementing this improvement! I was able to go back in to edit the old, broken profile and unclick the private network check box. This definitely works. Then I went back in and re-checked the private network box, and the unsupported encryption error no longer occurs. I even switched between networks to other base stations and back, and I can still get into the private network on the airport express. Maybe the problem boils down to setting up first as a public network, exchanging WPA encryption information, and then making the network private. [/QUOTE]
