does the airport extreme support wifi protected setup? the reviews i read say no, the wifi certification doesn't say, but the airport ap seems to

wifi protected setup can pair base stations and clients without the need of typing
the passphrase, the passphrase is sent to the client automatically based on authentication methods such as a push button, a pin number, or near field methods.

reviews of the airport extreme say that the unit does not support wifi protecfted setup
and the wiif alliance does not list it has having the feature

but the air port utility app seems to be able to negotiate wifi protected setup.

Verizon has blocked port 25 and they are using port 587 for sending email. My Netgear router doesn't support port 587. Does Airport extreme support port 587 and is it easy to setup?

Thanks!

Airport Extreme VLAN support

I am looking at getting the latest model of the Airport Extreme but I have a question first. Does the Airport Extreme support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Packet tagging? I have a firewall with the ability to have VLANs to segregate traffic. If possible what I would like to do is set the Guest wireless to a separate VLAN than the normal traffic. An before you suggest it the Airport will not be going in front of my firewall.

Does the new Airport Extreme support QoS?

I know the older models did not support QoS, but am very hopeful the new model will. To be more specific, I believe the protocol is 802.11e, and allows a user to give priority to VoIP and internet-related calling. Having this feature would allow VoIP users like myself to use T-Mobile UMA calling and traditional VoIP services without being choppy or suffer from latency.
