Security Mode
From the Security Mode menu, select WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise for the connection
to the selected SSID.
For information about WPA2-Enterprise, see Set up WPA2-Enterprise security on a satellite
or client bridge on page 71.
Note: We recommend that you set up security, although in certain situations, and if you
are aware of the risks, you can select None.
Encryption
If you select WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode menu, this field is fixed at AES. You cannot
select another option.
Passphrase
If you select WPA2-PSK from the Security Mode menu, enter the passphrase (network
key or WiFi password). The length of the passphrase must be from 8 to 63 characters.
If you are configuring a satellite, you must enter the same passphrase that is defined on
the master so that the satellite can connect to the master.
If you are configuring a client bridge, you must enter the same passphrase that is defined
on the access point so that the client bridge can connect to the access point.
