Is there any option that will allow for WPA, WPA2 connection? I have a device that does not recognize WPA2 and I cannot connect to a non-broadcasting SSID.

Tablet connection issues with WPA2 protocol.

    You set your router to WPA2?  You have a device not supporting WPA2?  They can't connect wirelessly.  Wired, yes...wireless, no.

    One can connect to a non-broadcasting SSID.  They'd just have to manually enter the SSID and key.

      Unfortunately, it is a table and there is no wired connection.  The router has only one protocol and that is WPA2 and I need WPA.  The tablet will not recognize a non-broadcasting SSID.  Is there a way to do a guest login and go to a webpage?

        A tablet can connect to a non-broadcasting network, but that's not important right now.

        What's the make and model of your tablet?
