Setting Up a Temporary Hotspot

You can use the device to set up a temporary hotspot to allow a maximum of five connections to
your MiFi 2200 at one time.

The Temporary Hotspot profile is pre-set on your device. It generates a temporary network name
(SSID) and network key so you can allow others to connect to your device without having to change
your secure profile’s security settings.

Set up a Temporary Hotspot

To set up a Temporary Hotspot, follow these steps.

Connect to MiFi Settings and log in. [See

Configuring MiFi Settings

(page 32).

]

Go to the WiFi screen. [See

WiFi

(page 38).

]

On the WiFi screen, select Temporary Hotspot as the selected profile.

A new (temporary) network name (SSID) and network key (WiFi passkey) appears. Typically
the temporary network name is the secure profile name with “Temp” added, and the
temporary network key is “12345.”

  Tip! 

Click Generate to create a new network name and network key.

Click Apply. Others can now use the temporary network name (SSID) and network key to
connect to your device.

For more information about changing profiles, see “
