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
WPS.)
You can change (from the Zing Manager) the security used for Wi-Fi:
1. Log in to the home page. (See
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
