I have a wndr4500 as a base and a wndr3400v2 as a repeater. I got everything working great but I want to have a password on that network, is this possible to do?
 


when I go to the password section it is grayed out. Alternatively if i try to set it up with a password already on the network it tells me i cannot set it up as long as there is security encryption.
 
they are both dual band, the 2.4 ghz network has a password on it. the 5ghz network is the one i am repeating. however when i set it up it would not allow me to make the network password protected. That is my goal, i dont want to have an open network.
 
the wireless AP is off on my 5ghz network. what is that and could that be my problem?

also i have that set as the internet connection does not require a login. i figured that was different from a password for the network.
