Know Your Device
Your mobile hotspot enables you to create a Wi-Fi access point anywhere
there is cellular network coverage. You can use that Wi-Fi access point to
connect your laptop and other Wi-Fi capable devices to your service
provider’s mobile broadband network and connect to the Internet.
You can also use your mobile hotspot in tethered mode by connecting it to
your laptop with the USB cable to access the Internet.
Additional features include:
• Touchscreen LCD interface — Manage your hotspot settings, data
connection, and Wi-Fi network usage, and view system alerts
• On-screen keyboard for changing your Wi-Fi network names and
passwords without accessing the web interface from your computer.
• Jump Boost — Boost another device’s battery using the Jump Boost
cable provided with the hotspot.
• GPS
• Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) — A fast, easy way to connect WPS-
enabled devices to your Wi-Fi network.
• Dual band Wi-Fi — The hotspot uses a dual-band Wi-Fi radio (2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz) to connect devices that support dual-band Wi-Fi at higher
throughputs.
• Guest Wi-Fi — Set up a guest Wi-Fi network for temporary users, and
use the main network for trusted devices.
