Wifi encryption in Astrobox

AstroBox Questions
#1

Hi,
I am using the recommended wifi dongle Edimax EW-7811Un to create an astrobox network. However the network created is an open network which means anyone can join astrobox-xxxx and thus gain the access to controlling interface by using the ip 10.10.0.1 (Please correct me if I misunderstood)

Is there a way in which I could encrypt(set up password) in the astrobox-xxxx wifi network?

Thank you.

Not at the moment. Keep in mind that you’re only supposed to use the hotpost for setup, as long as you connect the box to another network, the hotspot should only come back on when you’re out of range.
