Step 3: Connect Wi-Fi devices to your MiFi 2200

1. Unplug MiFi 2200 from your computer

3. Connect to MiFi with default password

You must unplug the MiFi 2200 from your computer, as when it is connected to your computer via the USB connector cable, the device acts as a USB modem and turns off the Wi-Fi capability.* If your MiFi 2200 does not immediately appear on your Wi-Fi manager software, select Refresh networks list, if available, or turn off and on your MiFi 2200 by pressing the power button on the top of the device.

2.Look for MiFi 2200 network

Use VZAccess Manager 7.0 or higher or your normal Wi-Fi application on your device to establish a connection to the MiFi 2200. Then, look for the Network (SSID) named “Verizon MiFi 2200 XXXX.” The “XXXX”are the four unique digits for your MiFi 2200 device.

Select Connect and enter the default password** that can be found on the back of the MiFi 2200, or the MiFi Connect Information card that came with your device.

*Also Wi-Fi is turned on when connecting the AC wall charger to the MiFi 2200. See MiFi 2200 Web Interface User Tips below for Power Management information when using in battery mode.

**The default password uses Wireless Protected Access (WPA) encryption. If your Wi-Fi application does not support WPA you will need to access the MiFi 2200 Web interface. You must upgrade to VZAccess Manager 7.0 or higher to connect to your MiFi to access the device as earlier versions only support Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and not WPA. Once upgraded to VZAccess Manager 7.0, it is recommended to use this software to manage all your wireless connections as it will show both Mobile Broadband and available Wi-Fi service and signal strength.

Important Notes:

How to check megabytes during the month:

If you are using your MiFi 2200 in Wi-Fi mode and not connected using the USB data cable, you will not receive “pop-up” notifications providing megabyte usage information for your current billing period. It is recommended that you connect your MiFi to your computer during the month to check your usage through VZAccess Manager, or visit My Verizon or My Business Account on the web to periodically monitor your usage during the current bill cycle.

Windows Automatic Updates:

Windows OS® can send you automatic updates periodically, some can exceed 300 megabytes. These updates will apply towards your monthly megabyte allowance when connected to Mobile Broadband service. You may change how these updates are pushed to you. This allows you to decide when to get the updates and the method of download — using

a LAN, Wi-Fi, or Mobile Broadband connection. To do so, go to Start> Control Panel> Security Center> Automatic Updates and select Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them.
