
Wireless Network Name (SSID): SSID is short for Service Set Identification, which helps
you distinguish different wireless networks. The default SSID of this Mobile Wi-Fi is
TP-LINK _XXXX (XXXX stand for the last 4 characters of the MAC address of it.). You can
rename it as your preference, but the value is limited to 32 characters and also it's
case-sensitive (For example, TEST is NOT the same as test). Later on it will display in the
wireless network list searched by your devices if you don't disable the SSID broadcast.

SSID Broadcast: Select to enable or disable this function. When wireless clients survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast
by the Mobile Wi-Fi. If you enable SSID broadcast, the wireless Mobile Wi-Fi will broadcast
its name (SSID) on the air; otherwise, you have to manually type in the SSID and then you
can join its network.

Wireless Band: This field determines the frequency band that the radio will work on. There
are two bands you can choose: 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Please pick up suitable frequency band
according to the policy of local government and your requirements.


special demands, you are recommended to select 11bgn mixed as Wi-Fi mode. To seek
the optimal performance of Wi-Fi hotspot, you are recommended to select the mode that
corresponds with your wireless NIC, for instance, if your NIC supports IEEE802.11n
specification, 11n only is recommended.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
authentication type based on pre-shared passphrase. It's easy to set and secure to use. So
it's perfect for SOHO users.
