ZeroTrace HID
Secure WiFi (AP)
WPA2 access point hosted by the device
The device's built-in access point runs WPA2-PSK by default.
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| SSID | [DeviceName] ZT |
| Password | ZeroTrace |
| Security | WPA2-PSK (AES-CCMP) |
| IP | 192.168.4.1 |
| DHCP range | 192.168.4.2–192.168.4.254 |
Change credentials
Settings → WiFi → AP lets you change SSID, password, and channel. New credentials apply on the next reboot.
For shared environments, change the password from the default before deployment, ZeroTrace is publicly documented and trivially guessable.
Disable
Set WiFi mode to Off to disable the AP entirely. The device falls back to USB-HID + BLE only. Use this for engagements that prohibit RF emissions.
Range
ESP32-S3 onboard PCB antenna, no external dipole. Typical range:
- 10 m line of sight in Low power mode
- 30 m line of sight in High power mode
- Half that through one drywall partition
For longer range (multi-room or outdoor), the integrated antenna is the limit, there's no U.FL connector on HID hardware. The ZeroTrace AirLeak unit ships with U.FL for that use case.
