●
Wi-Fi security — The default setting is WPA. To select another option, click More options. See “Wi-Fi
Security Options” on page 22.

Wi-Fi password — The maximum length of this field is determined by the Wi-Fi security option (the
previous item). (See the Help bubble that’s displayed when you move the cursor to the Wi-Fi
password field.)
If you’ll be sharing your Internet connection with others, y
ou’ll have to give the Wi-Fi password to
others; don’t use your banking or other important passwords. Also, don’t use a password that’s
easily guessed by others.
From this window you can also enable the Password Reminder featur
e, which is useful if you forget
the Wi-Fi password. See “Wi-Fi Password Reminder” on page 86.
Tip:
Help information on each field appears (in a bubble) when you move the cursor into the field.
You can display this window any time, by clicking
Admin Setup ( ) in the browser interface.
After you change the settings and click Submit, the device restarts and displays updated information
on its LCD. Follow the instructions on the LCD, and proceed to “Your Device is Now Restarting” on
page 24.
Wi-Fi Security Options
If you click
More options (after having clicked Set up my Overdrive, during the device setup), a window
with four Wi-Fi security options opens.
Note:
All the devices used with the Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot must support the selected security
type.
Going from no security to stronger security, the options are:
●
None — No security (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); not recommended.
Anyone may access your device and use your Internet connection (you are responsible for
payment for data usage).
●
WEP-64 Bit — Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices. Recommended only if any
of your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
●
WPA-Personal — A strong security standard, supported by most Wi-Fi devices.
●
WPA2-Personal — A stronger, newer security standard. Limited to newer Wi-Fi devices.
