Connecting to T-Mobile HotSpot
The Connection Manager offers you two different networks for connecting to the Internet from any
T-Mobile HotSpot:
•
T-Mobile Wi-Fi Network
– This network connection is the T-Mobile standard network for
Wi-Fi connections.
•
T-Mobile’s Enhanced WPA
– This network connection allows secured connection using
the WPA encryption (802.1x) standard.
To connect to T-Mobile HotSpot:
1. Make sure that you are at a T-Mobile HotSpot location. You can click the
HotSpots
button
on the Connection Manager screen to find locations near you. You do not need to be
connected to the internet to use this locations tool.
2. Open the Connection Manager. The Laptop Stick will then scan the area for a T-Mobile
HotSpot connection.
3. When you see the following screen, click the
CONNECT
button. You will be prompted to
type your username and password to your T-Mobile HotSpot account.
4. At the prompt, type your username and password for your T-Mobile HotSpot account.
Your username is your 10-digit phone number, and your default password is the last four
digits of your Social Security number. For corporate account, the default password is the
last four digits of the corporate tax ID. To find your phone number, go to
Tools > Network
