- Your data pool is limited and want to minimize data overages.
- You want to avoid data hogs and maximize number of clients that can access data.

**Instructions:**

- Power on your WiFi In Motion device and give the unit 3-5 minutes to fully boot.
- Log in to the [Web Admin](https://support.yoursinglepoint.com/faq/how-do-i-access-my-device-to-make-changes-updates-etc/)[.](https://support.yoursinglepoint.com/faq/how-to-access-remote-web-admin/)
- From the dashboard of your device, please click on the Advanced tab at the top of the  
  page.

  the Download and Uploadspeeds to your preference. If you are not sure what speeds you want, a good starting point is 512 kbps for Upload and Download. (Please ensure that you change the drop-down menu from Mbps to kbps!) Once you are finished, click Save.
