The Connection Manager offers you two different networks for 

connecting to the Internet from any T-Mobile HotSpot:

n

  T-Mobile WiFi Network – This network connection is the 

T-Mobile standard network for Wi-Fi connections.

n

  T-Mobile’s Enhanced WPA – This network connection allows 

secured connection using the WPA encryption (802.1x)
