How Can I Tell I’m Connected to 3G or LTE?
There are a few ways you can tell whether you are connected to a network, and which network
type (3G, or LTE) you’re connected to.
When you’re connected to a network (3G or LTE):
●
On the LCD screen, the network type icon (3G or LTE) and data transfer indicator
arrows appear on the home screen.
●
In the Mingle Manager (http://minglehotspot), the network type icon (3G or LTE) and
data transfer indicator arrows appear in the Status section on the left side of the page,
and the connection status is shown on the
Network > Status Details Tab
.
If the device is not connected to a network, an alert will appear on the device and in the Mingle
Manager.
