The Advanced Settings screen allows you to enable and configure a time schedule to disable the
NR2301's WiFi network. The WiFi network is disabled during the configured time period and all clients
(including guest WiFi clients) cannot access it. It will be enabled automatically after this time period.

DESCRIPTION
Turn the switch button on
to hide the guest SSID so a station cannot obtain the guest SSID through scanning using a site
survey tool.
Select WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, WPA3-SAE, or WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE to add security on
this guest WiFi network. WiFi clients must support one of the selected security modes and use the
same WiFi key to connect to the guest wireless network. Or you can select Open to use no
security and allow any client to connect to the guest network without authentication.
The WPA-PSK (WiFi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key) security mode provides both data
encryption and user authentication. The WPA2-PSK security mode is a more robust version of
the WPA encryption standard. The WPA3-SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals
handshake) security mode protects against dictionary attacks (password guessing attempts). It
improves security by requiring a new encryption key every time a WPA3 connection is made. A
handshake is the communication between the NR2301 and a connecting client at the
beginning of a WiFi session.
Note: WPS can be used only when the security mode is set to Open, WPA2-PSK, or
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.
Type a password the clients need to enter to connect to the guest WiFi network.
