Wi-Fi Security Options
If you click
More options
(after having clicked Set up my Overdrive Pro, during the device setup), a window
with several Wi-Fi security options opens.
Note:
All the devices used with the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot must support the selected type.
The options displayed depend on the
Basic Rate
setting (in
Advanced Settings
>
Wi-Fi
>
Security
.
If Basic Rate is ―802.11b/g compatibility‖ or ―802.11g only,‖ these options are shown:
WPA-Personal
— This is a strong security standard, supported by most Wi-Fi devices.
WPA2 Personal AES
— This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer Wi-Fi
devices.
WEP-64 Bit
— This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This option works with older and
newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
None
— No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); this setting is not
recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet connection. (You are responsible
for payment for data usage fees.)
If Basic Rate is ―802.11b/g/n compatibility,‖ these options are shown:
WPA2 Personal AES
— This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer Wi-Fi
devices.
WPA/WPA2 Personal
(recommended setting)
— Wi-Fi devices that use either WPA or WPA2 can
connect to the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot. Most Wi-Fi devices support this type of security.
None
— No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); this setting is not
recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet connection. (You are responsible
for payment for data usage fees.)
