STEP 1 Click Wireless > Security.

STEP 2 From the Security Mode drop-down menu, select WPA2-Personal Mixed.

STEP 3 To enable wireless isolation within the SSID, click Enabled.

STEP 4 Provide the following information:

•WPA Algorithms—(Read-only) The WPA2-Personal Mixed security mode automatically chooses TKIP or AES for data encryption.

•Pre-SharedKey—Enter a WPA Shared Key of 8–63 characters.

•Key Renewal— Enter a key renewal timeout period, which instructs the access point how often it should change the encryption keys. The default is 3600 seconds.

STEP 5 Click Save.
