Note: Make sure that your computer has access to Internet when you first use the
tethering feature because your computer might need to access the Internet in order
to download the required software driver.
After the driver is installed, you can visit the mobile hotspot web page to customize
your mobile hotspot’s advanced settings. This is an optional step.
Use the USB Micro Cable to Charge Only
You can log in to the mobile hotspot and specify a setting so that the micro USB cable
is used only for charging and not to access the mobile hotspot using a web browser.
You might want to do this if a wall socket is not available to charge the mobile hotspot.
To specify a Micro USB cable charge-only setting:
1. From a computer that is connected to your network, launch a web browser.
2. Enter http://attwifimanager/ or http://192.168.1.1
A login window opens.
3. Enter the mobile hotspot user name and password.
The default login password is printed on the product label underneath the battery.
The password is case-sensitive.
The mobile hotspot dashboard displays.
4. Select Settings > Router.
The Router Setup page displays.
5. Scroll down to the DMZ section of the page.
6. In the Use USB for drop-down menu, select Charge only.
Your settings are saved. When you connect the USB micro cable, the mobile hotspot
battery charges, but you cannot use the tethered connection to access the mobile
hotspot with a web browser.
Security Credentials
Two passwords are associated with the mobile hotspot:
•
Wi-Fi password. Use this to connect your computer or Wi-Fi device to your mobile
hotspot network. This character string is unique to your device. It displays on the
main mobile hotspot screen. If the screen is blank (a power-saving feature), press
