Settings
●
SSID Broadcast
— If broadcast is enabled, the wireless network is displayed in the list of Wi-Fi
networks available in the local area. For increased security, set this field to
Disable
. You will need to
give the SSID to the people who will be accessing your network.
●
Max Number of Users
— You can limit the number of Wi-Fi users (maximum of five) that can
connect to the device. A smaller number improves performance and security.
●
Battery or USB Powered
(power settings)
±
Short Wi-Fi Range
— This setting improves battery life, at the cost of a shorter Wi-Fi range.
±
Long Wi-Fi Range
— This setting allows you to use your wireless devices farther from your
Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot, at the cost of shorter battery life and the increased
possibility of interference with/from other nearby WiFi devices.
●
AC Powered
(power settings)
±
Short Wi-Fi Range
— Choose this setting if you have a designated wireless area and you need
to minimize the effect of your network on other networks in the vicinity.
±
Long Wi-Fi Range
— This setting allows you to use your wireless devices farther from your
Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot but increases the possibility of interference with or from
nearby wireless networks.
●
Wi-Fi Channel
— This is the active channel of the Wi-Fi access point. If your network is having
performance issues (possibly caused by other Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity using the same
channel), try a different Wi-Fi channel.
●
RTS Threshold
— This setting specifies the smallest packet size, in bytes, for which RTS/CTS
(Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshaking is used. The recommended value is 2347. Change
this value only if you’re experiencing inconsistent data flow. Make only minor changes to this value.
●
Fragmentation Threshold
— This setting specifies the largest allowable size, in bytes, for a packet. If
the packet is larger than this, it is fragmented into multiple packet before it is transmitted. To prevent
poor network performance, it’s recommended to keep this value as large as possible (up to 2346).
●
Wi-Fi Power Save Mode
— If this field is set to “On,” the Wi-Fi component of the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G
Mobile Hotspot enters power save mode, when possible. If your computer tends to lose the Wi-Fi
connection and stops responding, set this field to “Off.”
●
Wi-Fi Age Out Time
— This is the amount of time of inactivity (no traffic), after which the Overdrive
Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot drops the connection to a device.
●
WMM Support
— Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a standard that defines quality of service (QoS) in Wi-Fi
networks. WMM improves the performance of audio, video and voice applications transmitted over
Wi-Fi.
●
List of connected devices
— You can display a window that shows connected computers. A table
row may show one or both of these icons:
±
—The user of this computer is logged in as administrator.
±
—This computer is connected to the device through the micro-USB cable.

MAC Filter Panel
The MAC (Media Access Control) filter is used to grant (“whitelist”) or block (“blacklist”) wireless
devices access to the Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G networks. Access is based on the MAC address of each
wireless device.
MAC filtering can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network.
MAC filtering increases security of your network. You can give access to your network, based on
the MAC address of the wireless devices. This makes it harder for a hacker to use a MAC address
to access your network.
To access this panel:
1.
Log in to the home page.
2.
Click
Advanced Settings
(
).
3.
Click
Wi-Fi > MAC Filter
