8. (Optional) Set the amount of time to wait before changing the group key.
The group key is shared by all in clients of the access point, and after a client has
disconnected, it will be able to use the group key to decrypt broadcast packets until the key is
changed.

where value is any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and takes the format number
{d|h|m|s}.
For example, to set group rekey interval to ten minutes, enter either 10m or 600s:
(config)> network wireless ap digi_ap encryption group_rekey 600s
(config)>
Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issues in noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to 0. This will allow any client that has previously connected to see
all broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.
1. Assign the Wi-Fi access point to a LAN interface or to a bridge. See

Configure a Wi-Fi access point with personal security

The WPA and WPA2 personal security modes allow a Wi-Fi access point to authenticate clients by
using a preshared key that the client enters when connecting to the access point.
By default, the IX20W device comes with one preconfigured access point, Digi AP. You cannot delete
default access points, but you can modify them or you can create your own access points.
Note
The IX20W device supports a maximum of two enabled access points, regardless of the number
of enabled Wi-Fi clients.
