Simplify WLAN Security Modes
This week the admin UI configuration of WLAN security settings is updated to provide a more concise configuration experience. No new functionality is introduced, it’s a facelift to the existing configuration. WLAN security modes are consolidated by security type and protocol. Selecting the desired security type will then show the supported configuration options for that type.
