F61 Festa Ax1800 Access Point, cannot see how to set SSID password in standalone mode

I have decided I do not want to run the free festa cloud controller and just want to run the festa f61 access point in stand alone mode.
I cannot see any instructions or logically on the standalone interface accessed via the device IP address how to set a password for SSID?
By default it's an unsecured network with no password
can you please advice with screenshot?

Hi @Penfolds
The Festa AP (Access Point) provides a standalone web page for basic troubleshooting, but there are limited following functions you can setup.
1. Basic wireless configuration
2. Firmware update
3. System reboot/reset
4. SSH server
For more detail on the available functions, please take a look at this FAQ:
How to troubleshoot Festa access points in the Standalone mode
For more features, please turn to controller mode.

In simple terms Vincent, can the F61 wireless network settings (SSiD & password), be set when connecting to the device directly. The device page shows the specifics of the device, but nowhere to set the wifi name or password. Can this be done locally of does it require going through the horrors of the Festa app??
This device may well be going back to Amazon, as it's not user friendly!

I am in the same boat. I have concluded that it is NOT possible to change SSID or password without the use of the Festa app / cloud based controller. They say the app is "recommended" but really it is "required".
