2.3. Setup Security
Click on the wireless Security tab:
1. Change the 2.4GHz security mode to WPA2 Personal.
2. Change the passphrase to something unique and give it to the software inspectors and field tech advisor.
Do not share it with the teams. Passphrase must be at least 8 characters and contain no spaces. For
extra security, use at least one upper and one lower case alpha character, at least one number and one
special character such as !@#$%^&*.
3. Click on Save Settings
4. Reboot the router one more time by returning to the Setup tab, scrolling to the bottom of the screen and
clicking on “reboot”.
When the router configuration file returns after rebooting, your FTC_FIELD router is ready to use.
CRITICAL STEP: Write down these settings and keep them safe from teams but readily available to volunteers
around the FCS. This is especially important if the person who sets up the routers is not available during an
event and the routers need to be reset.
