With this function enabled, no WiFi enabled device can find the corresponding WiFi
name, and you need to manually enter the WiFi name on the WiFi enabled device to
access the wireless network.
By default, this function is disabled.
The WiFi extender supports the following security modes:
- Not encrypted: The WiFi extender does not encrypt its wireless network. This option
is not recommended because it affects network security.
- WPA2-PSK (Recommended): The wireless network is encrypted with
WPA2-PSK which adopts a pre-shared key for authentication. Therefore, wireless
networks encrypted with WPA2-PSK are safer than those encrypted with WAP-PSK.
- WPA3-SAE/WPA2-PSK: The wireless network is encrypted with both WPA2-PSK/AES
and WPA3-SAE/AES, improving its security. With Simultaneous Authentication of Equals
(SAE) and Protected Management Frames (PMF), WPA3-SAE can defend dictionary
attacks and prevent information leakage without requiring users to set complex
passwords.
WPA3-SAE is the upgraded version of WPA2-PSK. If your WiFi enabled devices do not
support the WPA3-SAE or you have a poor WiFi experience, you are recommended to
switch the security mode back to WPA2-PSK (Recommended).
It specifies the password used for wireless network connection.
You are recommended to use the combination of digits, letters and special characters for
higher security.
