Expanded Wi-Fi Security Options
If you click
I don’t see what I want…
(from the Wi-Fi Security Options window during the device setup), a
window with an expanded list of Wi-Fi security options opens.
Note:
All the devices used with the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot must support the selected type.
Note:
You can also view the expanded list of of Wi-Fi security options in the Security panel of the Wi-Fi tab of
the Advanced Settings window.
Some of the following options may be displayed, depending on the Basic Rate setting (see ―Security Panel‖ on
page 50):
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 of data usage fees.)
WEP 64 Bit - Shared
— 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.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider shared WEP to be less
secure than open WEP.
WEP 128 Bit - Shared
— This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but stronger than
WEP
64 Bit - Shared
). 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.
WEP 64 Bit - Open
— 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.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
WEP 128 Bit - Open
— This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but stronger than
WEP 64
Bit - Open
). 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.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
