In the Shared Secret field, enter the password that the router must use to

communicate with the RADIUS server.

This password must be configured on the RADIUS server. This password is

used to authenticate the router (not a WiFi client) against the RADIUS server.

•

WPA2-Personal [AES] + WPA3-Personal: This option allows WiFi devices that

support WPA2 (which is the same as WPA2-PSK) or WPA3 to join the network.

WiFi devices that support WPA cannot connect to the network. This option uses

SAE and AES encryption. WPA3 (which uses SAE) is more secure than WPA2

(which uses AES).

When you select this option, the Password (Network Key) field displays. Do the

following:

In the Password (Network Key) field, enter the network key (password) that

you want to use.

It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters.

Write down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future

reference.

6. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

Guest WiFi network and captive portal

You can set up a guest WiFi network (guest portal), which allows visitors to access the

Internet using a dedicated SSID. You can also set up a captive portal for the guest portal.

With a captive portal, when visitors connect to the guest portal and open a browser to

access the Internet, they are redirected to a splash page where they must agree to the

Terms of Conditions before they can access Internet.

By default, visitors do not need to enter a password to connect to the guest portal and

data is not encrypted. Open access without security might be a good option for a coffee

shop. For situations in which authentication and encryption is required, you can set a

password for WiFi access and you can use Facebook Wi-Fi or set a password for guest

portal or captive portal access.

When visitors use the guest portal, they cannot see other devices that are connected

to the guest portal (or any other WiFi network on the router) and they cannot access

the local area network (LAN).

The router web interface calls the guest WiFi network the Guest Portal network.
