3.1 Personal Hotspot

The XYFI is your Personal HotSpot. Normally its settings 'out of the box' are just fine but on these pages you can adjust various things
to make it yours, tweak its performance and security.
Hotspot WiFi Settings

Advanced Settings

3.1.1 Hotspot WiFi Settings
XYFI lets you change the WiFi settings the way you want.
In order for your changes to take place, you need to click the 'Save Changes' button.
Changes here will disconnect all active users and they will need to reconnect.
Network Name (SSID)
The Network Name (SSID) is the name that you will see when your WiFi client lists networks. The name can be up to 32
characters long.
Changing the Network Name (SSID) will disconnect all active connected users.
Broadcast Network (SSID)
Broadcast your Network Name (SSID): If you set the broadcast to 'Yes', then other devices can detect and connect to your
WLAN.
Choose 'No' to disable broadcasting and hide the name of your network. This provides a higher security, as other devices have
to know the Network Name (SSID) to connect. You can install the WLAN with this feature enabled and then disable it once you
have set up XYFI and its associated wireless clients.
WiFi Password
We strongly recommend you to use WiFi password (WPA2) if it is available for your WiFi clients.
WiFi password (data encryption) possibilities:
No (no encryption): This option is not recommended except during installation of your network.
Yes: Connecting users can only join your XYFI using this password. Data encryption used is WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access).
Create your password for your connections. Both letters and numbers can be used.
The password must contain at least 8 characters (max. 63 characters).
WiFi Channel
The XYFI has 2 options for WiFi channel selection:
Auto - this means that the first time it is powered on, it will automatically select the WiFi channel that has the least amount
of interference.
Manually - it can happen that surrounding networks are added and the initial WiFi channel may become crowded. Use the
drop-down list and select a new channel.
Note: WiFi channels 1, 6 or 11 are usually the best selections.
3.1.2 Advanced Settings
Within this section you can enable/disable WPS setup and add Port forwarding.
Please make sure you understand what you are doing before adjusting these settings.
Enable WPS
You can choose to disable the possibility for devices connecting using WPS (WiFi Protected Set-up). If you want to disable this
feature, please click the 'No'-button.
DMZ
The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host feature allows one local computer to be exposed to the Internet. Designate a DMZ host
when:
You wish to use a special-purpose Internet service, such as an on-line game or video-conferencing program, that is not
present in the Port Forwarding list and for which no port range information is available.
You are not concerned with security and wish to expose one computer to all services without restriction.
Warning:
A DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and may be vulnerable to attack.
Designating a DMZ host may also put other computers in the home network at risk.
When designating a DMZ host, you must consider the security implications and protect it if necessary.
An incoming request for access to a service in the home network, such as a Web-server, is fielded by XYFI. XYFI will forward
this request to the DMZ host (if one is designated) unless the service is being provided by another PC in the home network
(assigned in Port Forwarding), in which case that PC will receive the request instead.
