Essentials WiFi 6 AX4200 Dual Band Multi-Gig Access Point Model WAX220 4. Select Management > Network > Wireless. The page that displays shows the Wireless Settings section and other sections. 5. Go to the Wireless Settings - Access Point section. The section shows four WiFi networks. The Enabled check box is selected for enabled WiFi networks and cleared for disabled WiFi networks. If the WiFi network is already enabled, go to Step 8. Otherwise, follow the next two steps. 6. To enable the settings for a disabled WiFi network, select the Enabled check box for the WiFi network. The options become available. 7. For a new WiFi network (one that was disabled), set the WiFi network name (SSID) and select the radio bands: • SSID: Set a name for the WiFi network with a maximum of 32 characters. You can use a combination of alphanumeric and special characters. • 2.4G: To enable the network to broadcast in the 2.4 GHz radio band, select the 2.4G check box. If you clear the check box, the network does not broadcast in the 2.4 GHz radio band. • 5G: To enable the network to broadcast in the 5 GHz radio band, select the 5G check box. If you clear the check box, the network does not broadcast in the 5 GHz radio band. 8. Click the Edit button for the WiFi network. A new page opens. The page shows more settings for the WiFi network, many of which are described in Manage Advanced WiFi Settings on page 48. 9. In the Wireless Security section, select a WPA personal option from the Security Mode menu: • WPA2-Personal: This option, which is the same as WPA2-PSK, is the default setting. This type of security enables only WiFi devices that support WPA2 to join the SSID. • WPA3-Personal: This option, which is the same as WPA3-PSK, is the most secure personal authentication option. WPA3 enables only WiFi devices that support WPA3 with the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standard to join the SSID. If your network also includes WPA2 devices that do not support the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standard, select WPA3/WPA2-Personal security. Manage Basic WiFi Settings 35 User Manual
