CLEAR Spot Home Page / Basic / Wi-Fi
Use the Basic / Wi-Fi Tab to configure basic settings of the CLEAR Spot, including the wi-fi network
name, the SSID broadcast on / off setting, the wi-fi network range, and more.
Wi-Fi Settings Information:
 Wi-Fi Radio On/Off: The CLEAR Spot default wi-fi setting is on, but can be turned off when using
the CLEAR Spot in USB Mode. For more information about using your CLEAR Spot in USB,
click here or refer to the CLEAR Spot Home Page / Tools / USB Data Mode section of the Online
User Guide.
 Channel: Select “Auto” for the CLEAR Spot automatically to choose the best available channel.
Alternatively, if desired, you can select a specific channel from the drop-down box.
 Wi-Fi Network Range: Allows you to configure the CLEAR Spot for best battery life (Short), best
wi-fi Range (Long) or a balance of each (Medium).
 Wi-Fi Max Clients: Up to eight devices can be connected to the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network at the
same time. Select the maximum number of devices (1-8) from the drop-down box.
 Security Setting: Use wi-fi security settings (WEP or WPA) to password-protect access to your
CLEAR Spot wi-fi network. WPA provides the highest level of wi-fi security, but older wi-fi-
enabled devices may not support WPA security. WEP security is supported by virtually all wi-fi-
enabled devices.
 Network Name (SSID): Shows the
CLEAR Spot wi-fi network name (SSID),
which allows wi-fi-enabled devices to
identify and connect to the CLEAR Spot.
The default wi-fi network name is “Clear
Spot xxx” where “xxx” are the last three
digits of the MAC ID, which can be found
on the label on the CLEAR Spot battery
cover and under the battery. The wi-fi
network name also can be changed
using the Setup Wizard.
 SSID Broadcast: Shows the current
SSID Broadcast setting. When “On,”
others will see the CLEAR Spot wi-fi
network name in the list of available
wireless networks. When “Off,” others
will not see the CLEAR Spot wi-fi
network name in the list of available
wireless networks.
 Mode: View and change the type
(802.11b only, 802.11g only, or both) of
wi-fi-enabled devices that can connect to
the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network. Select
802.11g only for the highest
performance.
