Managing Allowed Users on the HTC EVO HotspotOur last two tips showed you how to set up the mobile hotspot feature of the Sprint EVO 4G and change the maximum number of allowed WiFi connections. This week we're going to show you one more cool feature of the EVO's mobile hotspot feature that allows you to use MAC address filtering to allow only certain devices of your choosing to connect to your hotspot! For anyone concerned about wireless security, using this feature to ensure that only devices you've pre-approved can access your network is a great way to really secure your network - even if someone were to figure out your network's password, they wouldn't be able to use your network without being on your list!It's important to understand that this feature should not be used as an alternative to wireless security (i.e. you shouldn't leave your EVO's hotspot as an "open" hotspot and rely on this feature alone for security). This feature should only be used in addition to wireless security for increased security, as you still need wireless security to encrypt data that is transmitted wirelessly to prevent others from intercepting data. If you haven't set up wireless security on your hotspot yet, check out Tip of the Week #53 before moving on to this one. Managing Users for the EVO Hotspot: 1. First, open the Sprint Hotspot application on the EVO 2. From the Sprint Hotspot application, choose "Manage Users" as shown below: Related Links:
