Hello, for a room that does not receive the Wi-Fi from my Livebox, I connected a Strong Wi-Fi access point to a Strong powerline adapter. Everything works, but the Wi-Fi does not seem to be secure... What changes should I make to secure it?
Best regards.

    Hello,
    what makes you say it's not secure?
    Basically, you need to configure a WPA2 key for it, ideally.

    and ... There you go!

    Hello,
    To configure it, do you need to set it to router mode?
    Best regards

      No.
      You need to configure the wifi network, that's all,
      preferably by connecting via ethernet to avoid being disconnected.

      Thank you for your help. My Livebox is supposed to be secure, so my Wi-Fi from my access point is not secure?
      Best regards

      Thank you brupala, if I understand you correctly, I connect a computer via Ethernet to my access point and open the strong interface to create a password?

    Thank you Brupala,
    I'm having a bit of trouble... in access point, how and where do I need to configure my Livebox so that the generated WiFi is secure?
    For the moment, it is open....
    Best regards

      In access point, I don't have the option to open the strong interface at first glance... Best regards.

      Do you have a link to the product?
      Is this the thing?
      They apparently forgot to release the documentation; do I need to call their customer service for that?

      Yes, it's almost a Strong Dual Repeater 750...

      Is that?
      There is no powerline adapter in that...
      If it's just a Wi-Fi extender, it may reproduce the box's key since it knows it.
      Can you show your Wi-Fi networks as seen from Acrylic, for example.

      Brupala, my powerline network is working well, and I want to extend it with Wi-Fi for smartphones because the room doesn't receive the Wi-Fi.
      If I connect my strong dual repeater as an access point, I get a Wi-Fi signal, but it's unsecured.
      The problem is that I don’t know how to secure it.
      I don't have Wi-Fi when using it as a repeater because it can't pick up the Livebox.
      Maybe I should consider using it as a server?
      Best regards.
