Set the Maximum Number of WiFi Devices
If your network is having performance issues, you might want to decrease the number of WiFi devices
allowed to connect to your device at the same time, or change the maximum number of devices that can
connect to either the Main WiFi or Guest WiFi networks at the same time. (When Guest WiFi is turned on,
the maximum number of WiFi devices is shared between Main WiFi and Guest WiFi.)
Note: Your device is factory preset to allow a maximum of ten (10) WiFi devices, with eight (8) on Main
WiFi and two (2) on Guest WiFi.
You can change these limits on the Mobile Hotspot Manager’s WiFi > Options page.
1. In the Mobile Hotspot Manager, click WiFi > Options.
2. Beside Max WiFi, select the total number of WiFi devices that can connect to your device at the
same time.
3. Click to increase the Main WiFi limit, or click to increase the Guest WiFi limit.
(Increasing one decreases the other.)
Note: The Main WiFi limit cannot be set to 0.
4. Click Submit.
Change the WiFi Security
You can change the WiFi security setting for your Mobile Hotspot.
By default WiFi security is enabled for your device and its WiFi networks.
Note: If you change the WiFi security setting, all computers and devices that are currently connected with
WiFi are disconnected during the change. After this change has been made, you must use the new WiFi
security to connect.
Note: All devices used with the NETGEAR Fuse Mobile Hotspot must support the selected security type.
Note: WPS is available only if you select either a WPA2 Personal option (including WPA/WPA2 Personal)
or (not recommended) no security. (See Connect Through WPS.)
1. In the Mobile Hotspot Manager, click WiFi > Options.
2. In the list beside Encryption (for Main WiFi) or Guest Encryption (for Guest WiFi) select one of
the following options. Note that not all options may be available, depending on the Connection
Mode.
None – No security is used (no password is required to access the WiFi network); this setting
is not recommended. Anyone may access your device and use your Internet connection.
(You are responsible for payment for data usage fees.)
WPA Personal TKIP – This is a strong security standard that is supported by most WiFi
devices.
