4. Set the SSID for the Wi-Fi access point. Up to 32 characters are allowed.
(config network wifi ap new_AP)> ssid my_SSID
(config network wifi ap new_AP)>
SSID broadcasting is enabled by default for new access points.
5. Set the security for the access point to
psk
or
psk2
:
(config network wifi ap new_AP)> encryption type psk2
(config network wifi ap new_AP)>
6. (Optional) Determine whether to prevent clients that are connected to this access point from
communicating with each other:
(config)> network wifi ap digi_ap isolate_client true
(config)>
See
for information about how to prevent clients connected to different
access points from communicating with each other.
7. Set the password that clients will use when connecting to the access point:
(config network wifi ap new_AP)> encryption key_psk2
password
(config network wifi ap new_AP)>
8. (Optional) Set the amount of time to wait before changing the group key.
The group key is shared by all in clients of the access point, and after a client has disconnected,
it will be able to use the group key to decrypt broadcast packets until the key is changed.
(config network wifi ap new_AP)> encryption group_rekey
value
(config network wifi ap new_AP)>
where
value
is any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and takes the format
number
{
d|h|m|s
}.
For example, to set
group rekey interval
to ten minutes, enter either
10m
or
600s
:
(config network wireless ap new_AP)> encryption group_rekey 600s
(config network wireless ap new_AP)>
Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issues in noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to
0
. This will allow any client that has previously connected see all
broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.
5. Assign the Wi-Fi access point to a LAN interface or to a bridge. See
and
for more information.
The access point must be assigned to an active LAN, or a bridge that is assigned to an active
LAN.
6. Save the configuration and apply the change:
(config)> save
Configuration saved.
