Security Options
If you want to change the WiFi security, select one of the following WiFi security options for the 2.4 GHz band of
the guest WiFi network:
None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can join the 2.4 GHz band
of the guest WiFi network.This is the default setting for the guest WiFi network.
WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security is a legacy authentication and data encryption mode that is
superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. The WEP option displays only if you configure the WiFi mode for
the main WiFi network as Up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band (see View or Change the Basic WiFi Settings
and WiFi Security Settings on page 48). For information about configuring WEP, see Configure WEP Legacy
WiFi Security on page 53.
WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some older WiFi devices do not detect
WPA2 and support only WPA. Select WPA2-PSK [AES] security to allow 802.11n devices to connect to the
2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network at the fastest speed. If your network includes older devices that do
not support WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security.
To use WPA2 security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters.To join the 2.4 GHz
band of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [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-PSK [TKIP] is less secure than
WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps.
To use WPA + WPA2 security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters.To join the
2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
The passphrase that provides users access to the guest WiFi network in the 2.4 GHZ

SSID broadcast for the 5 GHz WiFi band for the guest WiFi network, clear the appropriate
Enable SSID Broadcast check box.
