Where's the station id?

I'm wanting to store the password for a Wi-Fi access point in 1Password. I selected New Item and searched for Wi-Fi; the only suggested wi-fi specific type suggested was Wireless Router.

But looking at the Wireless Router fields, I can't tell what 1Password is thinking the field would be used for. Specifically, which field would be for the station id?

  • I'd think the base station name would be the name of the router, for example I used to have one I called "Time Capsule".
  • I'd think the network name would be related to the network the router is attached to, not the station id.
  • I'd think that wireless security would be related to the security protocol, such as WPA2.

Is the intent that you'd use AirPort ID for the station id, even if it isn't for Apple devices at all?

    Correct!

    I'd think the network name would be related to the network the router is attached to, not the station id.

    Network name would be the SSID or the name you connect to when using  Wi-Fi 

    I'd think that wireless security would be related to the security protocol, such as WPA2.

    Correct!

    The password for the SSID or to gain access to the  Wi-Fi would go in the Wireless Network Password section.
