6) CradlePoint recommends that you customize your

WiFi Network Name. Type in your personalized

Network name here. You can also enable the Guest

Network feature (for more configuration options, see

Network Settings → WiFi / Local Network and the

Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings

section of this

manual).

Choose the

WIFI SECURITY MODE that best fits

your needs:

BEST (WPA2): Select this option if your

wireless adapters support WPA2-only mode.

This will connect to most new devices and is

the most secure, but may not connect to older

devices or some handheld devices such as a

PSP.

GOOD (WPA1 & WPA2): Select this option if

your wireless adapters support WPA or

WPA2. This is the most compatible with

modern devices and PCs.

POOR (WEP): Select this option if your

wireless adapters only support WEP. This should only be used if a legacy device that only supports WEP will be

connected to the router. WEP is insecure and obsolete and is only supported in the router for legacy reasons.

The router cannot use 802.11n modes if WEP is enabled; WiFi performance and range will be limited.

NONE (OPEN): Select this option if you do not want to activate any security features.

CradlePoint recommends BEST (WPA2) WiFi security. Try this option first and switch only if you have a device that

is incompatible with WPA2.
