Choosing A Profile - AT&T MiFi 2372 User Manual

Choosing a Profile

A profile controls how you connect to the MiFi device. Each profile has a specific purpose, though
generally the secure profile is recommended. You can choose one of three Wi-Fi profiles.
Secure — Your pre-configured profile is set to Secure. You can set up an additional profile
•
that also includes the security measures you need to use your device safely.
Temporary Hotspot — This profile allows you set up a temporary hotspot that allows up to
•
five others in your immediate area to securely go online using your device. The temporary
hotspot profile has a separate secure, temporary wireless network and password so you don't
have to change the Secure profile.
Open — This is a completely unsecure profile that should be avoided except during
•
troubleshooting.
➤
Select the profile from the Profile list and click Apply to apply the setting or Edit Wi-Fi Profile to
make additional changes to the profile.
IMPORTANT When you click Apply in some profiles, you could change settings that result in
re-starting the MiFi device. Be sure you write down the changed network name and/or network
key before you click Apply.
