Well, the Wireless Flash Drive creates its own WiFi network, and you can password protect the network through the settings page in the app (iOS and android) or a web browser (Any other platform, windows, Mac, Linux, etc.) If you are using iOS or android, you can 'tether' the flash drive network to another network, so that you can stay online while viewing your files. But this option is turned off by default, but if you set it up on a public network (Starbucks, etc) then your files would be available to anybody while the flas drive is connected to that network.Hope this helps!

There is no need to use public wifi because the device is sharing it's own wifi which can be protected by password.

The unit itself is plugged directly into the router via an ethernet cable. Other computers on your network can access the files via wifi also over the internet.

yes when you log in to router with 192.168.1.1 (default) username: admin (default) pass: password.there is a option called wireless settings in that you can give your wireless a name and assign passphrase so it can be secured and nobody else can use it.

It is internet ready. You just need to authenticate via the network key and you are set.

You can use it for minutes and read downloads. I never had a problem with those two things.

Yes, you can connection the MYQ-G0201to a secured WiFi, in fact mine is hook up that way and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes. There are two apps for this device one is got wifi only and the other is for non-wifi. I have yet to access the non-wifi app so I don't know how it looks. But I do know the capability is there. Both apps use your IP address to set up and a password to access if desired.

1. Yes, you can (and should) password protect your connection. This router offers WPA/WPA2 encryption, which is what you should use, NOT WEP encryption - WEP is completely insecure these days. This router also offers MAC address filtering, which allows you to select (by MAC address) what wireless devices are (or are not) allowed on your network. You can set one password to protect your WPA/WPA2 encrypted wireless, and that's really all you need. Just make sure it's not a weak password (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, the more characters the better), and it will be uncrackable for all intents and purposes. 2. Theoretically, most wireless devices can support up to 255 devices, but that's completely impractical. Average home use shouldn't be a problem though, I'd be more concerned with making sure your internet connection is fast enough for all the devices to share. 3. I haven't noticed that yet. Technically, anything that operates on the 2.4Ghz range (cordless phones, microwaves) can interfere, and large metal items (ie, filing cabinets) can interfere with any wireless signal though. Wireless-N has a very good range though. At my workplace, we use G, and have almost 10 WAPs to provide coverage throughout the whole building. While working on a laptop with a wireless-N card, I noticed that it picked up most of the access points, as well as a couple of signals from outside the building! Hope that helps, I'll be happy to answer any more questions.

Kind of. The way it would work is you would connect to the Wi-Drive with WiFi (the drive itself is a WiFi base station) and then you can access files stored on it. You can not access the drive from your device without having WiFi turned on and being connected to the drive. If you then want to connect to another WiFi spot, while maintaining access to the drive, the drive itself can be connected to the internet over WiFi and provide said access to your device while your device is connected to it.

It will be picked up by your Internet automatically....anything you want secure you need to create acct with LaCie and then store your "secure" files in that folder it creates which is password protected.

Yes! It is Wi-Fi enabled and you can transfer the files via wi-fi either from your home network or from a remote place with Internet access!

You have to connect to wifi and most wifi connections you need the password

Yes I actually had my wifi network go down and it still recorded to the SD card during that time so this works as long as you initially have it set up on a network. Also, I never allow cloud access to it. I use it only to record to SD and I also have it automatically ftp files to a server on my own network.

I believe you can password protect it if you like. It comes with instructions and software sites, but I just use them for straightforward back up. They are really fast and at a good price.

Thank you for your time. Please note the Wi-Fi option is used to transfer the files to your computer as they are scanned.

It will appear under network in file explorer. You access it from there just like you would any local drive. You can even set up different permissions for different users so each user's files can be password protected.

WiFi is a really nice feature, but to be honest I haven't used it. I always use either a USB cable or just take the SD card out
