connect to the SSID. Select this option if all WiFi clients are capable of supporting
WPA2. This option uses AES encryption. In the Passphrase field, enter a new
passphrase for the WiFi network.
• WPA2/WPA Personal: This option allows both WPA and WPA2 WiFi clients to
connect to the SSID. This option uses TKIP and AES encryption. Broadcast packets
use TKIP. For unicast (that is, point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP
and WPA2 clients use AES. In the Passphrase field, enter a new passphrase for
the WiFi network.
• WPA3 Personal: This option allows only WiFi clients that support WPA3 to
connect to the SSID. Select this option if all WiFi clients are capable of supporting
WPA3. This option uses SAE encryption. In the Passphrase field, enter a new
passphrase for the WiFi network.
• WPA3/WPA2 Personal: This option allows both WPA2 and WPA3 WiFi clients
to connect to the SSID. This option uses AES and SAE encryption. WPA2 clients

Note: After you complete the setup process, you can set up WPA2 Enterprise or
WPA3 Enterprise security with RADIUS servers. For more information, see Change

If you changed the IP address, enter the IP address that you specified in Step 5.
Your browser might display a security warning because of the self-signed certificate
on the access point, which is expected behavior. You can proceed, or add an
exception for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get
a browser security warning on page 39.
