Wi-Fi Security Options
If you click
More options (after having clicked Set up my Clear Spot 4G+, during the
device setup), a window with four Wi-Fi security options opens.
Note: All the devices used with the Clear Spot 4G+ personal 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 recom-
mended. 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.
If the above options don't meet your requirements, click
I don't see what I want....
Expanded Wi-Fi Security Options
If you display the
Security panel of the Wi-Fi tab of the Advanced Settings window or
if you click
I don't see what I want... (from the Wi-Fi Security Options window during
the device setup), a window with an expanded list of Wi-Fi security options opens.
Note: All the devices used with the Clear Spot 4G+ personal hotspot must support the
selected security type.
The options are:
•

•
WEP-64 Bit - Shared

sider shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
•

Lower security. Works with older and newer Wi-Fi devices. Recommended
only if any of your devices don't support WPA or WPA2.
