5 GHz Network
Wi-Fi Name

Hide
It is used to hide the Wi-Fi name of the Wi-Fi network, so as to improve the security
level of the Wi-Fi network.
When this function is enabled, the Wi-Fi network is invisible to wireless devices. You
need to enter the Wi-Fi name of the network on your wireless devices (such as a
smart phone) manually if you want to join the network.
Encryption Mode
It specifies the encryption modes supported by the router, including:

None: It indicates that the Wi-Fi network is not encrypted and any clients can
access the network without a password. This option is not recommended as it
leads to low network security.

WPA-PSK: The network is encrypted with WPA-PSK/AES, which has a better
compatibility than WPA2-PSK.

WPA2-PSK: The network is encrypted with WPA2-PSK/AES, which has a higher
security level than WPA-PSK.

WPA/WPA2-PSK (recommended): It indicates that WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are
adopted to encrypt the network, providing both security and compatibility.
Wi-Fi Password
It specifies the password for connecting to the Wi-Fi network. You are strongly
recommended to set a Wi-Fi password for security.
It is recommended to use the combination of numbers, uppercase letters, lowercase
letters and special symbols in the password to enhance the security of the Wi-Fi
network.
