Wi-Fi Security
Learn about the various Wi-Fi security options available to you.
By default, Wi-Fi security is enabled for your device and the Wi-Fi network.
Note: All the devices used with the Sierra Wireless 4G LTE Tri-Fi Hotspot must support the
selected security type.
Note: WPS is available only if you select either a WPA2 Personal option (including
WPA/WPA2 Personal) or (not recommended) no security. (See Connecting Through
WPS.)
To change the security used by Wi-Fi:
1. Log in to the home page.
2. Click Advanced settings > Wi-Fi > Security.
3. Select one of the following options. Note that not all options may be displayed,
depending on the Basic Rate setting.
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.)
WEP 64 Bit - Shared — 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.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
WEP 128 Bit - Shared — This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit - Shared). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
