Configuring the Wi-Fi Network 116
WEP 128 Bit – Open – This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit – Open). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or
WPA2.
Open WEP uses the key for encryption, but not for authentication.
WEP 128 Bit – Shared – This option provides security, but it’s relatively weak (but
stronger than WEP 64 Bit – Shared). This option works with older and newer Wi-Fi
devices, and is recommended only if any of your devices don’t support WPA or
WPA2.
Shared WEP uses the same key for encryption and authentication; some consider
shared WEP to be less secure than open WEP.
WPA Personal TKIP – This is a strong security standard that is supported by most
Wi-Fi devices.
WPA Personal TKIP/AES – This is a strong security standard that is supported by
most Wi-Fi devices.
WPA2 Personal AES – This is a stronger, newer security standard that is limited to
newer Wi-Fi devices.
WPA2 Personal TKIP/AES – This is a stronger, newer security standard that is
limited to newer Wi-Fi devices.
WPA/WPA2 Personal (recommended setting if any of your devices are more than
two years old) – Wi-Fi devices that use either WPA or WPA2 can connect to the
NETGEAR Zing Mobile Hotspot. Supported by most Wi-Fi devices.

Change Wi-Fi Network Names and Passwords
The Main and Guest Wi-Fi network names identify your Wi-Fi networks and are visible to other
Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
You can change the names and passwords for your Main and Guest Wi-Fi networks on your
device’s Main Wi-Fi and Guest Wi-Fi screens, and on the Zing Manager’s Wi-Fi > Options
page.
For optimal security, you should make your Wi-Fi network names and passwords unique, and
change them on a regular basis.
