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 its Wi-Fi networks.

Note: All devices used with the NETGEAR Zing Mobile 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.)

You can change (from the Zing Manager) the security used for Wi-Fi:

1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Administrator.)

2. Click Wi-Fi > Options.

3. In the list beside Encryption (for Main Wi-Fi) or Guest Encryption (for Guest Wi-Fi)

select one of the following options. Note that not all options may be available,

depending on the Connection Rate.

• 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 – Open – 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.

Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.

• 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 – 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
