Extender security type (how to set WPA2-PSK)

Hello, fellow community members.

 

My LinkSys router (EA6350) is configured to use WPA2 Personal. It seems the best the EX6120 can do is WPA/WPA2 PSK, which looks like a mix to enable the connection of devices that only support the insecure WPA.

 

Besides, when I connect my iPhone to the extender's network, the phone says the network uses the insecure WEP.

 

Is there a way to configure the EX6120 to just use WPA2 PSK?

 

Thank you.

    The older WNxxxx models had the Security Opitons controllable in the Wireless Settings.

     

     

    Would assume this still exists on the newer GUI - but they might have simplified things to heavily.
