Manage your CLEAR Spot (continued)
CLEAR Spot Home Page / Advanced Settings / Wi-Fi / Network
Use this window to view or adjust these settings, or perform the following actions:
 Disable Wi-Fi upon USB-PC: Only the computer that is connected to the CLEAR Spot via a
Micro USB Cable can use the CLEAR Spot – click here to learn more about using your CLEAR
Spot via a Micro USB Cable.
 SSID: The CLEAR Spot wi-fi network name.
 Hostname: The host name is, in essence, the name you’re giving the CLEAR Spot. In most
cases, it is easiest to link the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network name (SSID) and the Hostname. Check
the box to do this.
 SSID Broadcast: When enabled (or turned on), the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network name is broadcast
and appears in the list of available wireless networks. For increased security, disable this. Others
can still connect to your CLEAR Spot wi-fi network, but they will need to manually enter the
network name in the SSID text box.
 Max Number of Users: Set the number of devices (users) that can connect to your CLEAR Spot
wi-fi network at the same time. Select 1-5 from the drop-down box. Fewer devices connected to
the CLEAR Spot can improve performance.
 Battery or USB Powered: Change the settings for when the CLEAR Spot is using the CLEAR
Spot battery or connected to a computer via a USB Cable.
o “Better battery life” means the CLEAR Spot wi-fi signal range is shorter, using less battery.
o “Longer wi-fi range” means the CLEAR Spot wi-fi signal range is longer, using more
battery.
 AC Powered: Change the settings for when the CLEAR Spot is connected to a Wall Charger.
o
Change the wi-fi performance settings to longer wi-fi range or shorter wi-fi range depending
on the proximity to the CLEAR Spot of the devices connecting to the CLEAR Spot wi-fi
network.
o Since the CLEAR Spot is connected to the Wall Charger, there won’t be any battery drain,
regardless of which setting is selected.
 Wi-Fi Channel: The active channel used by the CLEAR Spot. If your CLEAR Spot is
experiencing performance issues (possibly caused by other nearby wi-fi networks using the same
channel), try a different wi-fi channel.
