select must depend on the types of devices in your WiFi network and the level of security
that your environment requires. All types of WPA enterprise security function with a
shared key (a WiFi password) that is also dened on the RADIUS server. A WiFi client
can only access the WiFi network with the correct shared key.
To change the settings for an active SSID or enable and congure an SSID that is
secured with WPA2 or WAP3 enterprise security:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is directly connected
over WiFi to the access point or connected to the same network as the access point.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you are directly connected to the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login window displays.

If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point on
page 33. For more information about the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, see 2.4 GHz
management SSID on page 58.
If your browser does not display a login window but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after you complete the initial
log-in process on page 35.
3. Enter the access point local device password and click the button.Login
The local device password is the one that you specied. The password is
case-sensitive.
The Device Status page displays.
4. Under Network, select .Wireless
The Wireless Settings page displays.
5. Go to the Wireless Settings - Access Point section.
The following information displays:
•Up to four SSIDs are available.
•The check box is selected for the enabled SSIDs and cleared for theEnabled
disabled SSIDs. You can either enable or disable SSIDs.
By default, the main (rst) SSID is enabled for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios,
but the second, third, and fourth SSIDs are disabled.
•The SSID elds shows the names for the WiFi networks to which WiFi clients can
connect. You can change the SSID names.
•The Security elds show the types of WiFi security that are enabled for the SSID.
By default, the type of WiFi security is WPA2-Personal.
6. Do one of the following:
•Enabled SSID: To change the settings for a previously enabled SSID, click the
Edit button for the SSID.
•Disabled SSID: To enable and then change the settings for an SSID that is not
yet enabled, select the check box for the SSID, and then click theEnabled Edit
button for the SSID.
A new page displays.
Note: To allow you to focus on the essential SSID settings, the tables in the following
steps do not include information about band steering, RADIUS settings (other than
RADIUS settings for enterprise security), RADIUS accounting, the WiFi MAC lter,
and WiFi trafc shaping. For more information about these advanced settings, see
