Wi-Fi and LAN Settings

MediaShare Wireless Device Name
To change the name of your MediaShare Wireless from
the default name of "Verbatim-XXXX", enter a new name in
the dialogue box provided. Characters may be any
combination of letters and numbers, and up to 32
characters long.
Security Options
The factory default setting for wireless security is Mixed
WPA/WPA4-PSK. The unique default password is printed
on the bottom label of the product. With this dialogue you
may change the password, or alternatively set the wireless
security to WPA-PSK, WPA4-PSK, or to Disabled (ie. no
password required).
The password must be at least 8 characters, but no more
than 63 characters.
If you change the password, and later forget your new
password, you can return to the factory security setting by
inserting a paperclip into the side panel reset button.
Mode
The factory default setting for wireless communication
mode is 802.11b/g/n. With this dialogue you may
alternative set the communication mode to 802.11b,
802.11g, or 802.11.n.
LAN
This dialogue will display the fixed MAC address of the
product. Alternatively, you may view or change the current
IP address and Subnet Mask.

Internet Settings

During normal operation, MediaShare Wireless requires only
a single wireless connection with your Android
smartphone/tablet. To make this connection, MediaShare
Wireless defines the Wi-Fi channel to use (from 1-11). The
factory default setting for
channel selection is "auto",
which allows MediaShare
Wireless to automatically
choose the best channel
based on current
environment channel clarity.
The connection is shown to
the right as connection "A".
User Manual for Android OS
MediaShare Wireless
However, in this mode, if you later want to browse the internet
with your smartphone/tablet, you must break the "A"
connection and instead connect your smartphone/tablet with
an available router.
As a convenience, you can stay connected to both the
MediaShare Wireless and
the internet (at limited
connection speeds) by
enabling the Internet
Bridge mode While in this
mode (shown to the right)
the Router defines the
Wi-Fi channel, and two
Wi-Fi connections are
established ("A" and "B")
using this same channel
number.
Because the Router is
making the channel
selection, and because
different geographic regions use different channel ranges,
MediaShare Wireless must know your Region whenever the
Internet Bridge feature is enabled.
Internet Bridge
The Internet Bridge feature is disabled by default. To enable
the bridge, click "On", confirm the Region setting, and then
select your available router.
A different range of Wi-Fi channels is supported by different
geographical regions. If your region is not listed, choose a
region with the same channel range as your own.
