• WPA2-Personal [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some
older WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Select
WPA2-Personal [AES] security to allow 802.11n devices to connect to the 2.4 GHz
or 5 GHz guest WiFi network at the fastest speed. If your guest WiFi network
includes older devices that do not support WPA2, select WPA-Personal [TKIP] +
WPA2-Personal [AES] security. To use WPA2 security, in the Password (Network
Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password.
• WPA-Personal [TKIP] + WPA2-Personal [AES]. This type of security enables
WiFi devices that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the 2.4 GHz band of the
guest WiFi network. However, WPA-Personal [TKIP] is less secure than
WPA2-Personal [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps. To use
WPA + WPA2 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of
8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network, a user must
enter this password.
• WPA3-Personal [SAE]. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support
WPA3 to join the guest WiFi network. WPA3 is the latest security standard, uses
SAE encryption, and is more secure than WPA2. If all devices on your guest WiFi
network support WPA3, we recommend that you use this type of security. To use
WPA3 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 64
characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network, a user must enter
this password.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
8. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new security
settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• If your computer or mobile device is already connected to another WiFi network
in your area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi
network that the router provides.
Some WiFi devices automatically connect to the first open network without WiFi
security that they discover.
• Does your computer or mobile device display as an attached device?
If it does, it is connected to the network.
• Are you using the correct network name (SSID) and password?
