server provides.
Go to System > Network > Interface. Select Create New or select the Edit icon
of an existing interface. In the Addressing mode section, select DHCP.

broadcasts. Users who want to use the wireless network
must configure their computers to connect to the network
that broadcasts this network name.

Point mode only)

shared Key or WPA_Radius. Users of the FortiWiFi-60
wireless network must configure their computers with the
same settings.
