You should also encrypt the guest account to pre-
vent anyone in signal range from intruding into
your network and, for example, sharing your Inter-
net connection. The
WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) security standard is available for
this.
This method allows for individualised keys consi-
sting of

to 63 characters . You can simply enter them via
the keyboard.
To do so, enter a corresponding number of cha-
racters into the

When the WPA3 encryption standard is
