WPA/WPA2 with Pre-Shared Key
This method is currently widely used. The security support of WPA/WPA2 encryption and easy setup are the main factors.
For the settings, select mode = dynamic keys and authentication types = WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Then also specify the phrase that will be used as a password to be able to connect to the device.
Specify the encryption method to be used. If enabled on an AP (access point), the device will notify the client that encryption is supported. So that in order to connect, the client must support one of the authentication types applied to the AP.
Steps to use WPA/WPA2 with a pre-shared key :
1. Open Winbox.
2. Then enter the wireless menu.
3. Security Profile.
4. Click (+) to add.
5. Change the mode to dynamic keys.
6. In the Authentication Types Checklist, WPA PSK and WPA2 PSK.
7. Then enter the password in the WPA Pre-Shared-Key and WPA2 Pre-Shared-Key sections.
In conclusion, wireless networks are a very important technology in everyday life. However, like any other technology, wireless networks also have some problems that need to be addressed. By understanding the problems that may occur on a wireless network, users can take appropriate action to overcome these problems and ensure that the wireless network runs smoothly and safely, namely by adding a password to the wireless network security system using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption technology.
