Change guest or main security protocol Hub 4k

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to change the guest or main wifi to wpa or wep ?

I want to be able to connect my old console (psp wii) into the internet. for a brief moment.

I know it is not secure but I can't find other way to do it beside changing the security protocol.

If it's possible could you please explain how to do it.

I wad able to do it with hub 3000 but can't seem to find where in hub 4000

Thank you!

An earlier version of WPA is available, but not WEP.

Maybe this will help (from the HH4K dashboard help screens):

"WPA-PSK (TKIP): The initial version of WPA.

Use only if your devices do not support the newer WPA2 protocol
May only operate at slower speed since it is not compliant with the N or AC interface types
Use a word or phrase (no spaces) as a password, between 8 to 26 characters"

You'll need to get to the menus for configuring wifi. I haven't done this in months, but the steps should be:

log into the HH4K dashboard
click on "Manage My Wifi"
turn off Whole Home Wifi
save the settings change
reload, to get back to step 2
change the security setting to WPA-PSK TKIP for the wifi band your console will need to use

If this is a one-time-only change, then revert back to Whole Home Wifi.

Thank you so much that was a tricky one to know. I had no idea that advance setting will appear if I turn off wi-fi!
