The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSIDs

8. Set the WiFi security by selecting one of the following Security Options radio buttons:

• None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device

can join the WiFi network. We recommend that you do not use an open WiFi

network.

• WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security is Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) version

2 with a pre-shared key. It uses WPA2-Personal standard encryption with the AES

encryption type.

• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security allows clients to use

either WPA-Personal [TKIP] or WPA2-Personal [AES].

• WPA3-Personal. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support WPA3

to join the router's WiFi network. WPA3 is the latest security standard and is more

secure than WPA2.

9. Set a WiFi password in the Password (Network Key) field.

You must enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters or 64 hexadecimal digits. The Password

(Network Key) field displays if you select the WPA2-PSK [AES], WPA-PSK [TKIP]

+ WPA2-PSK [AES], or WPA3-Personal security radio button.

10. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

11. Make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with its new settings.

If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:

• Is your computer or mobile device connected to another WiFi network in your

area? Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without

WiFi security that they discover.

• Is your computer or mobile device trying to connect to your network with its old

settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the WiFi network selection

in your computer or mobile device to match the current settings for your network.
