● WEP 128 Bit - Open — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but stronger than WEP 64<br />
Bit - Open). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any<br />
of your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.<br />
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.<br />
● WPA Personal - TKIP — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi devices.<br />
● WPA Personal - TKIP/AES — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi<br />
devices.<br />
● WPA2 Personal - AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer Wi-Fi<br />
devices.<br />
● WPA2 Personal - TKIP/AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer<br />
Wi-Fi devices.<br />
● WPA/WPA2 Personal (recommended setting) — Wi-Fi devices that use either WPA or WPA2 can<br />
connect to the <strong>Overdrive</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> <strong>3G</strong>/<strong>4G</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong> <strong>Hotspot</strong>. This setting is supported by most Wi-Fi<br />
devices.<br />
Your Device is Now Restarting<br />
The “Your device is now restarting” window opens if you’ve clicked Set up my <strong>Overdrive</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> and then<br />
clicked Submit.<br />
The changes take effect after the device restarts automatically.<br />
You should write down the following information that’s displayed in the window:<br />
● Wi-Fi network name<br />
● Wi-Fi password<br />
To complete the process:<br />
1. Wait until the device LCD displays “Connect your computer to Wi-Fi Network.”<br />
2. Connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network, using the information you’ve written down. (If you<br />
don’t know how to do this, see “How Do I Connect to Wi-Fi?” on page 120.)<br />
3. After the Wi-Fi connection was successfully established, click the Click here text in the window.<br />
Activating and Using Your Network Service<br />
Note: If you’re able to connect to <strong>3G</strong>, you are already set up to use <strong>Sprint</strong> service on the <strong>3G</strong> network; no<br />
further action is needed. <strong>Pro</strong>ceed to “Using Your Device” on page 27.<br />
Before using your device, you must have a <strong>Sprint</strong> wireless network account set up. The process of<br />
setting up an account is called activation. When the device starts up, it will detect whether the device<br />
has been configured with an account (“preactivated”). If it has not, the activation process starts<br />
automatically.<br />
In most cases, the activation process will be seamless, not requiring any action from your part; in<br />
some cases, you won’t even see any activation-related messages displayed on the device LCD.<br />
