Next, click Wireless > Security. Select SecProfile3 and click Edit. 

Select WPA-PSK in the Security Mode field. WPA-PSK provides strong security that is supported 
by most wireless clients. Even though your Guest_SSID clients do not have access to sensitive 
information on the network, you should not leave the network without security. An attacker could 
still cause damage to the network or intercept unsecured communications or use your Internet 
access for illegal activities.

Enter the PSK you want to use in your network in the Pre Shared Key field. In this example, the 
PSK is ThisismyGuestWPApre-sharedkey. Click Apply. 

Your guest wireless network is now ready to use.

To make sure that the three networks are correctly configured, do the following.

• On a computer with a wireless client, scan for access points. You should see the Guest_SSID 

network, but not the SSID01 and VoIP_SSID networks. If you can see the SSID01 and 
VoIP_SSID networks, go to its SSID Edit screen and make sure to select the Hidden SSID 
check-box and click Save.

• Try to access each network using the correct security settings, and then using incorrect security 

settings, such as the WPA-PSK for another active network. If the behavior is different from 
expected (for example, if you can access the SSID01 or VoIP_SSID wireless network using the 
security settings for the Guest_SSID wireless network) check that the SSID profile is set to use 
the correct security profile, and that the settings of the security profile are correct.
