Setting Security
You can only set security for the Secure prole. You can use WEP (64- or 128-bit), WPA, WPA2, or
WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode security.
Tip! Some Wi-Fi clients become confused if the security is changed and the network name is not. If you
change security settings and do not get asked for the new network key when you try to reconnect,
delete the existing “old” network name from your Preferred Networks list. Then you can reconnect.
IMPORTANT Write down your network key before you click Apply.
➊ Choose Wi-Fi > Proles from the menu bar.
➋ Select the Secure prole and click Edit Wi-Fi Prole.
The Wi-Fi Proles – Edit Wi-Fi Prole page opens.
➌ Select a security protocol from the Security list.
WEP 64 bit is the least secure but the most compatible with other systems. WPA/WPA2 is the
most secure but the least compatible with other systems. Choose the most secure protocol
that works with the computers and other computing devices you want to connect to your
MiFi device.
The encryption type appears and the number and type of characters required for the
network key appear under the Network Key box.
➍ Type the network key you want to use in the Network Key box and then click Apply.
IMPORTANT Write down your new network key. Your wireless connection will be disabled at
this point. You must reconnect with the new settings you just established.
