To connect to the MiFi device, follow these steps.
➊
Turn on your computer and turn on the MiFi 4510.
The MiFi 4510's LED should be solid green or violet, indicating the device is in service and
ready to connect. The MiFi 4510 broadcasts its own wireless network.
➋
On your computer, use the Wi-Fi manager (Windows) or the AirPort menu bar icon
(Mac OS X) to connect wirelessly to the MiFi 4510 wireless network.
Tip!
The steps to connect to a Wi-Fi network vary depending on your operating system and whether
you use the native application or third-party software. Generally, you click an icon in the Windows
notification area where you can select View Available Wireless Networks, or click the Airport
icon in the menu bar on a Mac. If you are unfamiliar with wireless networking on your computer,
consult the computer's help system.
➌
Select your MiFi device's network name (MIFI4510 XXXX Secure, where XXXX are digits
unique to your device), click Connect, and type in your password. Your network name (SSID),
and Wi-Fi/Admin passwords are on the back of your device as well as on the Quick Start
Guide.
You can change device settings by connecting to the MiFi Web UI. (See
page 22.)
IMPORTANT
Charge the battery completely before you connect your computer to your MiFi
device. (See Insert and Charge the Battery on page 14.)
