Can I password-protect this device's wifi signal?

Yes, you can set up a password to protect your Wi-Fi signal when you do your set up. If you are planning to us the device as an extender, ensure that you assign the same network name and password with your wireless LAN.

FYI - I was using mine as a repeater and ended up returning it due to constant loss of connection with my main router. Every day I had to reboot it, and by the following morning one section of the house was offline. after a week of that BS I sent it back for a refund.

Yes you can password protect wifi signal by using "WEP or WPA/WPA2" from "Security" options in main menu.

It bootstraps on to your existing router's signal, utilizing the same password as you were using before... It just repeats the signal.

I use the same password as my existing router, I don't know if you can use a separate password for a repeater

From the manufacturer: Except for the basic security control by using ESSID and 64/128 bit key length WEP encryption, the EW-7228APn also supports the advanced security features, like MAC access control, IEEE 802.1x authentication, TKIP, AES and hide ESSID. It provides a total solution for you building up a secure wireless LAN network environment that can prevent from all kinds of hacker intrusion.

You should check the device's manual for how to hard reset the router and then it should have a standart first-time password (such as admin) which should also appear on the manual.

Yes that's one of the features I use the most. You can also buy a router they sell that you can lock it through the web

If the cellular unit has a wireless capability it should if you know the user name & password of the router

I had no issues. If your wifi is password protected them ensure you are using the correct password

I am sure someone with enough savvy could hack into the system. However, since it uses wifi from a home, it would be advisable to make sure you have a secure wifi network to set up on. I know I had no problems when I travelled as I secure all my phones and devices. I would advise to check on the internet to see if any issues have been reported for this particular device.

in any case I can think of, that is what it is supposed to do-it is a repeater and it will repeat the signal of any device it on your network and anyone else you let in and anyone else that guesses the password-use a good password

Yes. I bought this to extend a wifi signal that has a login page to gain access.

It just boosts the signal. It has nothing to do with passwords. That's handled by your computer.

There's 4 different encryption settings. You pick the level of security you want. Create a pass code as hard or simple as you wish. Since this is dual band, you can opt to allow acces to either band. I found all the setup to be very easy. For one time users/guests there's a button to push on the router that allows access without the passcode.

Yes. It is part of the configuration. I can't remember exactly where, but once you are logged onto the device, there is a checkbox for disabling the Wi-Fi. I would think you would prefer to just buy another router. It's easier and faster and maybe more secure.

Basically, yes. I have my unit in a retail location. It's plugged in to my switch which is connected to the firewall. I have it locked down with WPA2

hmmm.... I am not too sure what you mean by an app, but the wifi is built in, and all that is needed is to enter a password for a router for it to work. Of course, if the signal is unlocked then you won't need a password.

As long as they do not have crazy high complex authentications like Enterprise WPA2 PEAP you should be fine. My complex had such authentication requiring a username and password so this did not work (nor could I find any WISP router that works). Did work though to allow me to use someones Comcast WiFi without my wireless devices riding on his WiFi connection, only used his bandwidth for web use, not things like file transfers or WiFi printing.

You only have to enter your WPA Password once on initial set up. After that it is memorized and all you have to do is turn the radio on and off as you would any conventional radio. The Grace Wifi radio is a fantastic device cc
