24 Getting Your Device Ready
●
WEP 128 Bit - Open — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but stronger than WEP 64
Bit - Open). 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.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption,
but not for authentication.
●
WPA Personal - TKIP — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi devices.
●
WPA Personal - TKIP/AES — This is a strong security standard that is supported by most Wi-Fi
devices.
●
WPA2 Personal - AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer Wi-Fi
devices.
●
WPA2 Personal - TKIP/AES — This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to newer
Wi-Fi devices.
●
WPA/WPA2 Personal (recommended setting) — Wi-Fi devices that use either WPA or WPA2 can
connect to the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot. This setting is supported by most Wi-Fi
devices.
Your Device is Now Restarting
The “Your device is now restarting” window opens if you’ve clicked

To complete the process:
1. Wait until the device LCD displays “Connect your computer to Wi-Fi Network.”
2. Connect your computer to the Wi-Fi network, using the information you’ve written down. (If you
don’t know how to do this, see “How Do I Connect to Wi-Fi?” on page 120.)
3. After the Wi-Fi connection was successfully established, click the Click here text in the window.
Activating and Using Your Network Service
Note: If you’re able to connect to 3G, you are already set up to use Sprint service on the 3G network; no
further action is needed. Proceed to “Using Your Device” on page 27.
Before using your device, you must have a Sprint wireless network account set up. The process of
setting up an account is called
activation. When the device starts up, it will detect whether the device
has been configured with an account (“preactivated”). If it has not, the activation process starts
automatically.
In most cases, the activation process will be seamless, not
requiring any action from your part; in
some cases, you won’t even see any activation-related messages displayed on the device LCD.
