Updating other Profiles
You can also update a profile which is not in use. This will have no effect on the existing Wi-Fi
connection from your computer to the MiFi 2200.
• Change the Selected Profile to the Profile you wish to change.
• Wait for the screen to update with the Wi-Fi settings for the selected profile.
• Change the settings as desired. Note that for the “Temporary Hotspot” profile,
these settings cannot be changed directly. For this Profile, you can only click
“Generate” to generate new values for the network name (SSID) and security key.
• Click the “Update” button to save your changes. Alternatively, click the “Apply”
button to both update this profile and start using it (make it the current profile).
Wi-Fi Settings
Each Wi-Fi Profile contains the following settings. For the “Temporary Hotspot” profile, these
settings cannot be changed directly.
- Network Name (SSID) - The Network Name (also called SSID) of the Selected
Profile. Note that each profile must have a different network name to avoid
confusing wireless clients.
- 802.11 Mode - Select the desired mode.
- Channel – Select the desired channel. If available, the “Auto” setting is
recommended. With this setting, the best available channel will be
automatically selected. If the “Auto” setting is not available, you can
experiment to see which channel provides the best results, but normally the
default value will be fine.
- Security - For the "Secure" profile, select the desired security method. Use the
most secure method supported by your wireless clients. The options are listed
in order, from least secure to most secure.
• WEP 64-bit
• WEP 128-bit
• WPA Personal/PSK (TKIP)
• WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)
- Network Key - Enter the network key. The requirements for the network key
depend upon the Security option chosen.
• WEP 64-bit - 5 ASCII characters or 10 HEX characters.
• WEP 128-bit - 13 ASCII characters or 26 HEX characters.
• WPA Personal/PSK (TKIP) - ASCII string, 8 to 63 characters in length.
• WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES) - ASCII string, 8 to 63 characters in length.
