Overview
This will explain how to utilize the MiFi Hotspot. The MiFi Hotspot device can be used to grant yourself access to the internet from your home. The device comes with a charger and has unlimited data built into it.
First Time Setup
In order to connect your device to the hotspot, you will first need to power on the device. The power button is located on the top of the device. Push and hold the button until you see the MiFi logo.
Once the device powers on, it should show you a screen with several options. In order to connect to the device, you will want to ensure that Wifi is on. Check this icon and ensure it says Wifi On.
If it does not, tap the button then ensure that the radio dial for Wifi is green. If it is not, tap the dial until it turns green.
Once it is green, tap the arrow at the top-left to return to the main menu screen.
Next, you’ll need to get the Wifi Name and password so that you can connect to it on your laptop. Tap the Wi-Fi Name/Password button to display that information.
You will use this information to connect to the wireless on your laptop.
On your computer, Select the wireless icon to connect to a network, then look for the name of the network that matches the one on the display. Select it to connect. When prompted, enter the password provided on the MiFi display.
After entering the credentials, your device should soon connect to the network.
Connecting to the Device again
After you have performed the first time connection, you will simply need to turn on the MiFi device, ensure Wifi is on and then connect your computer to the wireless network. Your computer should remember the password and connect.
Remember: Always turn off the device when finished using the internet. This will save battery life as well as data. The device has unlimited data so you will be able to connect to it as much as possible, but you still do not want to be using unnecessary data.
