Wi-Fi Screen
This page is accessed via the menu, and contains all settings related to the WLAN, also called
Wi-Fi network or 802.11 network.
Wi-Fi Profiles
Wireless settings are contained in "Profiles". Three (3) profiles are available:
• Secure - Wireless security must be enabled.
• Open - No Wireless security is possible.
• Temporary Hot Spot - Security is enabled, and the network name (SSID) and
security key are auto-generated. The other Wi-Fi settings are copied from the
“Secure” profile.
This screen contains 2 Profile fields:
1. Current Profile – this is the Wi-Fi profile in use.
2. Selected Profile – the screen displays the Wi-Fi settings for this screen.
When the screen first loads, the Current and Selected profiles will be the same.
Changing to a Different Profile
To use a different profile:
1. Select the desired profile in the “Selected Profile” list.
2. Wait for the screen to update with the Wi-Fi settings for the selected profile.
3. Click the “Apply” button to cause the MiFi 2200 to use the selected profile.
Changing the WIFI profile will terminate all Wi-Fi connections to the MiFi 2200, including the
connection to the Web-based UI.
You must re-connect to the MiFi 2200 using the Wi-Fi settings of the new profile. Ensure you
know what these settings are. This is the Wi-Fi screen.
Updating the Current Profile
• Modify the displayed Wi-Fi settings
• Click the “Apply” button.
If you update the Current Profile, the existing connection will be lost. The effect will depend
on which Wi-Fi settings you have changed:
1. If the network name (SSID) is changed, you will need to use the Wi-Fi manager on your
computer to reconnect.
2. If the security method or network key is changed, you will need to use the Wi-Fi
manager on your computer to reconnect.
3. For other changes, your computer should reconnect automatically after a short
interval after the AP (Access Point) in the MiFi 2200 restarts.
