  • Select the Preshare Key Mode of ASCII.
  • In the box titled Preshare Key enter a password you want to use for your network. We strongly recommend using a minimum of 14 characters. Make sure to use some symbols, numbers, and capital letters in this password. Learn more about this by reading our guide titled Choosing a Strong Password.
