Using DPPSK to Access the Guest WiFi Network
DPPSK (Dynamic Personal Pre-Shared Key) is a cloud authentication method offered in Nebula Professional Pack that enhances on the traditional Pre-Shared Key (PSK) method. DPPSK introduces dynamic key allocation to address the security weaknesses of static shared passwords. Unlike WPA2-PSK, where all users share the same password, DPPSK assigns a unique pre-shared key (K1, K2, K3) to each user or client device (C-1, C-2, C-3). The pre-shared key can be customized to expire in a particular timeframe. This tutorial shows you how to configure DPPSK for a guest WiFi network (W).
