Setup the App
When you launch the Kingston MobileLite App for the first time, a connection wizard
will give you an opportunity to select and join a wireless network, even if you are
currently connected to another network.
In this example, you see the Wi-Fi network name, MLWG2-XXXX, where “XXXX”
represents the last four digits of your MLWG2’s Mac address. Each device has a unique
Mac address; therefore each unit will have a different name suffix.
Once you’ve selected the MLWG2 network, your Android phone or tablet will connect
to the MLWG2’s Wi-Fi network and walk you through a setup wizard.
The setup wizard will allow you to configure a personalized SSID name, secure your
network with a password, and bridge your device to an existing Internet Connection.

Wireless Network
When changing the default name of your wireless network, you are also changing the
SSID name that gets broadcasted in the list of Wi-Fi networks available to you. This
means you will be disconnected from the MLWG2-XXXX network you selected above,
and have to join the new network name you created after the setup wizard is finished.
(NOTE: All changes in the setup wizard are OPTIONAL, meaning you do not
HAVE to make any changes. If you decide to keep the default settings, just click
‘SKIP’ in the bottom left-hand corner of each setup screen to exit the wizard.
The configuration to the MLWG2 can later be changed in the App settings.)
