Home
Choose whether to show or hide the Wi-Fi network name and password
on the hotspot’s home screen. (Choose

Screen
.
USB Tether
Choose whether the Wi-Fi radio turns off or stays on when your device
is tethered to a computer. See

(Connected Through USB)
.
Connection
Mode
This setting determines the type of wireless devices that can connect to
your network.
Recommended options:
●
802.11 G
– Choose only if you’re certain that all of the Wi-Fi
devices used with your hotspot support 802.11 G. This option
ensures faster Wi-Fi speeds.
●
802.11 B/G/N
or
802.11 B/G
– Choose if you’re not sure which
modes the Wi-Fi devices used with your hotspot support.
Note:
If you change this value to
802.11 B/G/N
and the specified Wi-Fi
security Encryption type is not supported by this value, the security
Encryption type may change to
WPA/WPA2 Personal
.
Wi-Fi Channel
This is the active channel of the Wi-Fi access point. If your network is
having performance issues (possibly caused by other Wi-Fi networks in
the vicinity using the same channel), try a different Wi-Fi channel. See
Wi-Fi Channel
.
RTS Threshold
This setting specifies the smallest packet size, in bytes, for which
RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshaking is used. The
recommended value is 2347. Change this value only if you’re
experiencing inconsistent data flow. Make only minor changes to this
value.
Fragmentation
Threshold
This setting specifies the largest allowable size, in bytes, for a packet. If
the packet is larger than this, it is fragmented into multiple packets
before it is transmitted. To prevent poor network performance, it’s
recommended to keep this value as large as possible (up to 2346).
