Select WPA-PSKin the Security Mode field. WPA-PSK provides strong security that is supported by most wireless clients. Even though your Guest_SSID clients do not have access to sensitive information on the network, you should not leave the network without security. An attacker could still cause damage to the network or intercept unsecured communications.

Enter the PSK you want to use in your network in the Pre Shared Key field. In this example, the PSK is “ThisismyGuestWPApre-sharedkey”.

Click Apply. The WIRELESS > Security screen displays. Ensure that the Profile Name for entry 3 displays “Guest_Security” and that the Security Mode is WPA-PSK.
