•
WPA2/WPA3-Personal: This option, which is the same as WPA3-PSK/WPA2-PSK,
enables WiFi devices that support either WPA2 or WPA3 to join the SSID. WPA2
is less secure than WPA3.
10.
Configure the following settings:
•
Passphrase: Set a WiFi password of 8 to 63 characters. To join the SSID, a user
must enter this WiFi password.
•
Group Key Update Interval: Set a period from 30 to 3600 seconds, which is the
period after which the WiFi network group key changes in the background.
(Connected users are not affected.) The default period is 3600 seconds. To disable
group key changes, set the value to 0.
11. Click the Apply button.
A pop-up window displays.

Set up or change an open user WiFi network
An open network might be appropriate for a WiFi hotspot, or for guest users.
The AP supports a legacy open network that does not provide any security or encryption
at all and an opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE) network that does not provide
security but does provide encryption if the WiFi device also supports OWE.
To change the settings for an active user WiFi network or enable and configure a
user WiFi network that is open or uses OWE:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi
to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP.
If you are directly connected to the management WiFi network, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login page displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24. For
more information about the management WiFi network, see Management WiFi
network on page 43.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see kb.netgear.com/000062980.
