4: Frequently Asked Questions
This chapter provides answers to questions you may have about your
mobile hotspot. (Also see
Troubleshooting on page 61.)
What do I do if I forget my Wi-Fi Passphrase
or Admin Password?
The Wi-Fi Passphrase appears on the LCD, unless you have
configured it not to show.
The default Admin Password ( swiadmin ) is printed on a label under
the battery.
If you have changed either of these and then forgotten them:
1. Reset the device to the factory settings. (See Reset the Mobile
Hotspot on page 63.)
2. Use the default SSID (displayed on the LCD screen) and default
Admin Password (
swiadmin ) to connect to the Wi-Fi network and
log in as Administrator. See Set Up and Connect to the Internet
on page 16.
How do I connect / disconnect from the
mobile broadband network?
Do one of the following:
• On to the homepage, click Connect / Disconnect (below the
virtual mobile hotspot).
• From the Connect Info dashboard screen, press and release the
Power key.
• Press and hold the Power key for a few seconds to turn the
mobile hotspot on / off.
I can’t see the Connect / Disconnect button on
the homepage.
The Connect / Disconnect button is only visible when you are logged
in as Administrator.
To log in as Administrator:
1. Place your cursor in the Admin Password field on the homepage
and type the Admin Password (
swiadmin ).
2. Click Login.
