Set Up Wireless Security
Using security with your wireless network is very important. If your network was not pre-configured,
Novatel Wireless recommends that you set up security immediately by following these steps:
•
Change the Administrative Password:
•
Establish a Secure Profile:
Change the Administrative Password:
➊
Log in and then click
Settings
. [See
Login to the MiFi 4082 Device for the First Time
(page 12).
]
➋
Choose
System > Password
from the menu bar.
➌
Type
admin
into the Current Password field.
➍
Select a new administrative password and enter it into both New Password fields.
➎
Click
Apply
.
This is the new administrative password that you use when you log in to the browser
interface.
NOTE
Be sure to record the new password. You will have to reset the device using the Master Reset button
if you lose the administrative password. [See
Using the Master Reset Button
(page 63).
]
Establish a Secure Profile:
You can use WEP (64- or 128-bit), WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, or WPA/WPA2 mixed mode security. If you
did not establish a secure profile when you configured your device for your network operator, you
can do so now. [See
Configure your MiFi device for your network operator
on page 17.]
You can customize your MiFi Landing Page by continuing to
