3.3.3.1 Set Up Security for the Guest Profile

Now you need to configure the security settings to use on the guest wireless network. Click the Security tab.

You already chose to use the security03 profile for this network, so select security03’s entry in the list and click Edit. The following screen appears.

1Change the Name field to “Guest_Security” to make it easier to remember and identify.

2Select 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.

3Enter the PSK you want to use in your network in the Pre-Shared Key field. In this example, the PSK is “ThisismyGuestWPApre-sharedkey”.

4Click 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.
