Wi-Fi Setup
To properly set up your MiFi device, you need to do both of the following tasks:
•
Set Up a Wi-Fi Connection
•
Set Up Wireless Security
IMPORTANT
Your MiFi device is pre-configured with your network operator settings. If your
MiFi device is unable to pre-configure your settings, you need the Access Point Name (APN) from
your service provider plus any username, password, or other information they may have given
you. If you do not have this information, contact your service provider before attempting to set
up your MiFi device.
Your MiFi device might be pre-configured with Wi-Fi encryption (WEP 128 bits) to prevent
unauthorised access to your mobile broadband service. The unique SSID (network name) and
WEP key are printed on the inside of the battery door. You need this information to continue.
Set Up a Wi-Fi Connection
In most cases, your MiFi device should be pre-configured for your network operator right out of the
box and you can connect to the Network Name (SSID) found on the sticker inside the battery door.
(See
Connect to your MiFi device
on page 13.)
If it is not pre-configured, setting up the Wi-Fi connection requires two steps:
•
Connect to your MiFi device
•
Configure your MiFi device for your service provider (Not required for most users.)
NOTE
The battery should be fully charged before using MiFi the first time.
To connect in Wi-Fi Mode, your MiFi device must be powered with a charged battery, with an AC
or car charger. When your MiFi device is connected to your computer with the USB cable, Wi-Fi is
disabled.
Connect to your MiFi device:
➊
Press the power button.
Your MiFi device powers on and starts up. When the power LED is flashing and the Wi-Fi LED
solid, the device is ready for you to connect another device (such as your computer) to it.
➋
Use your normal Wi-Fi manager on your computer to locate the MiFi network name (SSID)
and select it.
NOTE
If your device was pre-configured, the network name was printed on the inside of the battery door.
If your device was not pre-configured, select the network name that has MiFi_3352 or MiFi_3372 in
the name.
