6) CradlePoint recommends that you customize your
WiFi Network Name. Type in your personalized
Network name here. You can also enable the Guest
Network feature (for more configuration options, see
Network Settings → WiFi / Local Networks and
the Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings section of this
manual).
Choose the WIFI SECURITY MODE that best fits
your needs:
BEST (WPA2): Select this option if your
wireless adapters support WPA2-only mode.
This will connect to most new devices and is
the most secure, but may not connect to older
devices or some handheld devices such as a
PSP.
GOOD (WPA1 & WPA2): Select this option if
your wireless adapters support WPA or
WPA2. This is the most compatible with
modern devices and PCs.
POOR (WEP): Select this option if your
wireless adapters only support WEP. This should only be used if a legacy device that only supports WEP will be
connected to the router. WEP is insecure and obsolete and is only supported in the router for legacy reasons.
The router cannot use 802.11n modes if WEP is enabled; WiFi performance and range will be limited.
NONE (OPEN): Select this option if you do not want to activate any security features.
CradlePoint recommends BEST (WPA2) WiFi security. Try this option first and switch only if you have a device that
is incompatible with WPA2.
