Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot user guide - Sprint

Wi-Fi Security
By default, Wi-Fi security is enabled for your device and the Wi-Fi network.
Note: All the devices used with the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot must support the selected security
type.
To change the security used by Wi-Fi:
1. Log in to the home page.
2. Click Advanced settings > Wi-Fi > Security.
3. Select one of the following options. Note that not all options may be displayed, depending on
the Basic Rate setting.
� 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.)
� 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.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider shared
WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
� 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.
� WPA-Personal TKIP — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi
devices.
� WPA-Personal TKIP/AES — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most
Wi-Fi devices.
� WPA2-Personal AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer
Wi-Fi devices.
� WPA2-Personal TKIP/AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to
newer Wi-Fi devices.
