Change the authentication and encryption
for a WiFi network
You can change the authentication and encryption of the default WiFi network (SSID or
VAP) or any custom WiFi network.
Before you change the authentication and encryption, consider the types of clients that
must be able to connect to the WiFi network. WPA3 provides a more secure connection
than WPA2, but many WiFi devices might not yet detect WPA3 and support only WPA2.
Similarly, WPA2 provides a more secure connection than WPA, but some legacy WiFi
devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA.
If you plan to use WPA2 Enterprise security or WPA3 Enterprise security for your WiFi
network, first set up RADIUS servers (see Set up RADIUS servers on page 119).
To change the authentication and encryption for a WiFi network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, 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.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
