The available settings on the Airport Express I am trying to use are 

Radio Mode: 802.11b/g, b Only or g Only

Wireless Security: None, WPR 40 or 128bit, WPA/WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Personal, 
WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise

Which settings for the access point would be the best settings for the WiFi card in the laptop? 

Thanks!
