If there contradicting instructions in a different document, I would appreciate it if you could post a link.
That's only the first half of the instructions. It's specifically the "Configuring a radio for Competition" part. I don't know why it's in there, because it isn't how anyone is expected to use the system during development, and I think the settings should all be overwritten anyway when the kiosk does its stuff at competition.

The rest of the instructions, under the heading "Configuring a Radio for Access Point Use", tell you only to set the SSID and frequency band. The security remains disabled under AP mode.
