Title: How to select WPA2 only?
Post by: Maxl on December 03, 2016, 05:06:20 PM

I am trying to select WPA2 security for this router, but the setting is only for "WPA/WPA2". The problem with it is that the router is a part of a roaming network and it has to have the security setting that's the same as other access points (WPA2). If I cannot select WPA2 only, devices would not roam to it, so it will be effectively useless :-(. I cannot fid a way to do so via the GUI. Any way to do it?

• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Unfortunately, this model router only supports the mixed mode of WPA/WPA2 Personal section only. This maybe due to the Smart Connect feature of the router to help ensure backwards compatibility with older devices (WPA) and the ability of Smart Connect to help them get connected.

Thanks. That's not good news, but thanks anyway.
