22 Getting Your Device Ready
●
Wi-Fi network name (SSID)
— This name is visible to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, and is used to
identify your Wi-Fi network. The length of the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) depends on other settings
of the browser interface. (See the Help bubble that’s displayed when you move the cursor to the
SSID input field.)
●
Wi-Fi security — The default setting is WEP 64 Bit Open. 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, you’ll have to give the Wi-Fi password to other users;
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 feature, which is useful if you forget
the Wi-Fi password (
Show Wi-Fi password on your device
). (See “Wi-Fi Password Reminder” on
page 90.)
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 home page. (See
“Displaying the Home Page of the Device” on page 33.)
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 Pro , during the device setup), a
window with several Wi-Fi security options opens.
Note: All the devices used with the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot must support the selected security
type.
The options displayed depend on the
Basic Rate
setting (in
Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi > Security
; see
page 85).
If Basic Rate is “802.11b/g compatibility” or “802.11g only,” these options are shown:
●
WPA-Personal — This is a strong security standard, supported by most Wi-Fi devices.
●
WPA2-Personal AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer Wi-Fi
devices.
●
WEP-64 Bit
— This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak. This option works with older and
newer Wi-Fi devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or WPA2.
●
None — No security is used (no password is required to access the Wi-Fi network); this setting is
not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet connection. (You are
responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
