Changing the Password and Settings
During the device setup, you can select
Set up my Overdrive Pro
to change the following settings:
Administrator password
— This password is used to log in to the home page, where you can view
and customize your device settings. The default password is “password.” Choose something easy-
to-remember (yet not easily guessed by others). If you forget this password, you’ll need to reset the
device to its default settings and go through the device setup (as described in “Device Setup” on
page 20).
Your administrator password must be 1–20 characters long.
Wi-Fi network name (SSID)
— This name is visible to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, and is used to
identify your Wi-Fi network. The length of the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) depends on other settings
of the browser interface. (See the Help bubble that’s displayed when you move the cursor to the
SSID input field.)
Wi-Fi security
— The default setting is WEP 64 Bit Open. To select another option, click
More
options
. (See “Wi-Fi Security Options” on page 22.)
Wi-Fi password
— The maximum length of this field is determined by the
Wi-Fi security
option (the
previous item). (See the Help bubble that’s displayed when you move the cursor to the
Wi-Fi
password
field.)
If you’ll be sharing your Internet connection, you’ll have to give the Wi-Fi password to other users;
don’t use your banking or other important passwords. Also, don’t use a password that’s easily
guessed by others.
From this window you can also enable the Password Reminder feature, which is useful if you forget
the Wi-Fi password (
Show Wi-Fi password on your device
). (See “Wi-Fi Password Reminder” on
page 86.)
After you change the settings and click
Submit
, the device restarts and displays updated information
on its LCD. Follow the instructions on the LCD, and proceed to “Your Device is Now Restarting” on
page 24.
Wi-Fi Security Options
If you click
More options
(after having clicked
Set up my Overdrive Pro
, during the device setup), a
window with several Wi-Fi security options opens.
The options displayed depend on the
Basic Rate
setting (in
Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi > Security
; see
page 81).
If
Basic Rate
is “802.11b/g compatibility” or “802.11g only,” these options are shown:
WPA-Personal
— This is a strong security standard, supported by most Wi-Fi devices.
Tip:
Help information on each field appears (in a bubble) when you move the cursor into the field.
You can display this window any time, by clicking
Admin Setup
(
) in the home page. (See
“Displaying the Home Page of the Device” on page 31.)
Note:
All the devices used with the Overdrive Pro 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot must support the selected security
type.
