Note: If you do not see a button labeled “Generate new API key” then the API quota may be full. In this scenario, it is necessary to remove an API key before a new API key can be generated or locate an already generated key for use in the Envoy config.

### Configure your guest SSID

Go to the main menu and select Wireless > SSIDs. Choose your Guest wifi SSID and press edit settings.

Select under Security “Open (no encryption)”
