Verizon MiFi 2200 manual Wi-Fi Screen, Wi-Fi Profiles, Changing to a Different Profile

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.
