Manage Wi-Fi
The hotspot provides the flexibility of matching its Wi-Fi radio setup to your Wi-Fi
needs by letting you choose a predefined Wi-Fi profile or customizing your own. The
Wi-Fi profile determines how the hotspot’s Wi-Fi features are used:
• Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) — Gives you the flexibility of connecting
devices that support dual-band Wi-Fi to transfer data at higher throughputs.
• Main Wi-Fi network — Share your Wi-Fi with devices you trust.
• Guest Wi-Fi network — Share your Wi-Fi with temporary visitors without exposing
the devices on the Main Wi-Fi network or letting them access the hotspot
homepage.
By default, Main Wi-Fi is enabled and Guest Wi-Fi is disabled. If your place of business
does not allow Wi-Fi, or for any other reason you want to disable Wi-Fi and use the
mobile hotspot only in tethered mode, the mobile hotspot gives you that option.
Note: Whenever you make changes to Wi-Fi settings, the hotspot resets to activate the new
settings. Any devices connected to the hotspot will be disconnected when the hotspot resets.
