Setup
Note: There may be risks associated with connecting
to the public internet. Your phone allows you to create
a 3G mobile hotspot, which may be accessible by
unauthorised users. It is highly recommended that you
use a password and other possible steps to protect
your computer from unauthorised access. To add
security to your Wi-Fi hotspot:
Find it: > 3G Mobile Hotspot >
>
Advanced > Wi-Fi AP mode
Touch a setting to modify it:
• SSID—Enter a unique name for your hotspot.
• Security—Select the type of security you want:
WEP, WPA or WPA2. Enter a unique password.
Other users can access your Wi-Fi hotspot only if
they enter the correct password.
Note: WEP is the weakest option because it is
highly vulnerable to hacking. WPA2 is
recommended by IEEE.
