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!

Hi @SpicyCurry
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!
