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.
Note When Primary Responder mode is enabled, the WPA1 personal security mode is not available.
For more information about Primary Responder mode, see
operation and Primary Responder

default access points, but you can modify them or you can create your own access points.
Note The IX20Wdevice supports a maximum of two enabled access points, regardless of the number
of enabled Wi-Fi clients.
