7. (Optional) Enable Isolate clients to prevent clients that are connected to this access point
from communicating with each other. See Isolate Wi-Fi clients for information about how to
prevent clients connected to different access points from communicating with each other.
8. For Encryption , select one of the following:
n
Open (Unencrypted) No encryption is used.
n
WPA3 Enhanced Open (OWE) Uses Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE)
technology to provide encryption for Wi-Fi networks that do not use password
protection.
Note Only select WPA3 Enhanced Open (OWE) if you know that all Wi-Fi clients
connecting to this device will have WPA3 capabilities.
9. (Optional) For Group rekey interval , type 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.
Allowed values are any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and take the format
number { d|h|m|s }.
For example, to set Group rekey interval to ten minutes, enter 10m or 600s .
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 to see
all broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10
minutes.
10. Assign the Wi-Fi access point to a LAN interface or to a bridge. See Configure a LAN and
Configure a bridge for more information.
