Choose a Profile

➤ ➊
Select a profile from the Selected Profile List and click Apply.
Secure — This is the profile you should use most of the time. You can set up this profile
•
with the security measures you need to use your MiFi safely.
Temporary Hotspot — This profile allows you to set up a secure temporary hotspot by
•
generating a temporary network name and password (key) that can be shared with
others (up to five) to allow them to connect to your MiFi on a temporary basis.
Open — This profile does not require a password to connect to your MiFi. Any user who
•
can see your network name (SSID) can connect to your MiFi.

Change Security Settings

Tip!
Some Wi-Fi clients become confused if the security is changed and the network name is not. If you
change security settings and do not get asked for the new network key (password) when you try to
reconnect, delete the existing "old" network name from your "Preferred Networks" list. Then you can
reconnect.
IMPORTANT Record your network key (password).
