Advanced settings > WAN > GPS
.
3.
Make sure
GPS Mode
is set to
Continuous
.
4.
In the
Fix Rate
field, enter a number of seconds between 1 and 999. (The smaller the number,
the more up-to-date the location tracking will be, at the cost of shorter battery life of the device.)
Using Metric Units
To use metric units in the display of location information (for example, speed and altitude):
1.
Make sure you’re logged in to the home page.
2.
Click the GPS icon
on the left side of the home page.
3.
In the GPS Information and Settings window, select the

— Port forwarding lets you forward incoming traffic to specific ports and devices
(per their local IP address) on your network. (See “Port Forward Panel” on page 105.)
±
Port Trigger
— You can set the device to monitor outgoing data on specific port numbers
(trigger ports). (See “Port Trigger Panel” on page 107.)
±

From this window, you can enable or disable these features, and perform these actions:
●
USB Tethered Networking
— To prevent an unauthorized user from using the device through the
micro-USB cable, set this field to
Disable
. Users will be able to connect only through Wi-Fi and only
after they provide the correct Wi-Fi password (if Wi-Fi security is enabled).
This setting does not affect the ability to charge the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot through
the micro-USB cable.
●
Port Forwarding
— Port forwarding lets you forward incoming traffic to specific ports and devices
(per their local IP address) on your network. (See “Port Forward Panel” on page 105.)

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
UPnP provides simple and robust connectivity among consumer electronics, intelligent
appliances, and mobile devices from many different vendors. (For more information, see
www.upnp.org
.)
Note:
If UPnP is enabled, there are potential security risks.
Enabling UPnP
Before you can use UPnP, you must enable it.
1.
Log in to the home page.
2.
Click
Advanced settings > Router > Basic
.
3.
Next to
UPnP
, select
Enable
.
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection)
SPI, also known as “dynamic packet filtering,” helps to prevent cyberattacks by validating that the
traffic passing through a session conforms to the protocol used for this type of session. Packets
that are not conforming get rejected.
Enabling SPI
Before you can use SPI, you must enable it.
1.
Log in to the home page.

Settings
From this window, you can view or adjust these settings, or perform the following actions:
●
Router IP Address
— This is the routing hardware’s IP address on the LAN.
●
Subnet Mask
— This is the routing hardware’s internal LAN subnet mask.
●
Hostname
— This is, in essence, a name you’re giving the device. (See “Host Name (Device Name)”
on page 93.)
●
Link SSID and Hostname
— With this feature you only need to remember one name when selecting
the Wi-Fi network, accessing the browser interface, or accessing the microSD card. (See “Linking
the SSID and the Host Name” on page 88.)
●
SSID
— This is the name of the Wi-Fi network. (See “SSID (Wi-Fi Network Name)” on page 87.)
●
MTU Mode
— This specifies whether optimization is used.
±
Auto
— Optimization is not used.
±
Optimized
— Optimization is used; this may improve data transmission.
●
DHCP Server
— This field enables DHCP.
Note:
The following settings are displayed only when DHCP is enabled.
●
DHCP IP Address Range
— This specifies the starting and ending address of the range of IP
addresses available for the device to dynamically (that is, not permanently) assign to computers
connected to it.
●
DHCP Lease Time
— This is the amount of time, in minutes, a computer can use its assigned IP
address before it is required to renew the lease. After this time is up, the computer is automatically
assigned a new dynamic IP address.
Enter a number between 2 and 10080.
●
Max DHCP Clients
— This is the number of DHCP addresses that can be assigned and active at one
time. It’s recommended you set this to a number greater than the number of Wi-Fi users.
●
DNS Mode
— This specifies how the DNS servers (that the DHCP clients are to communicate with)
are obtained.
±
Auto
— The DNS server specified by Sprint is used.
DNS Relay
is enabled by default.
±
Manual
— The routing hardware assigns DHCP clients the DNS servers specified in the
Manual
DNS Server #1
and
#2
fields.
Use this option to access a DNS server that provides customized addressing or if you have a
local DNS server on your network.
If
DNS Relay
is disabled, the routing hardware rejects DNS requests targeting the internal
DNS proxy.
●
Manual DNS Server #1
and
#2
— These are the static IP addresses to use for the DNS servers (if
DNS Mode
is Manual); available only if
DNS Mode
is Manual.
●
DNS Relay
— If enabled, and if
DNS Mode
(see above) is Manual, the routing hardware assigns
DHCP clients the DNS servers specified in the
Manual DNS Server #1
and
#2
fields.
If
DNS Relay
is set to Disable, the routing hardware rejects DNS requests targeting the internal
DNS proxy.
