Configure a Wi-Fi access point with personal security
The WPA and WPA2 personal security modes allow a Wi-Fi access point to authenticate clients by
using a preshared key that the client enters when connecting to the access point.
By default, the LR54W device comes with two preconfigured access points,
Digi AP (Wi-Fi1)
and
Digi
AP (Wi-Fi2)
. You cannot delete default access points, but you can modify them or you can create your
own access points.
