Congure Security
Though your device is pre-congured to have security enabled, you should change the network key
(Wi-Fi Key) to a password you can easily remember and that is hard for others to guess. You should
also change the administrative password.
Using security with your wireless network is very important. Novatel Wireless recommends that you
congure security immediately by changing the following:
• Change the Administrative Password
• Change the Network Key (Wi-Fi Key)
Change the Administrative Password
➊ Open your browser, go to http://att.mi, and then click Login. See Log In to the MiFi Landing
Page (http://att.mi) on page 14.
➋ Enter the administrative password and then click the Login button.
➌ Click Administration in the upper right corner of the page, and then select System > Password.
The System – Password page opens.
➍ Type your current administrative password into the Current Password eld.
NOTE For clarification, there are two types of passwords:
– The MiFi administrative password for the MiFi OS that you need to log into the MiFi Landing Page
and MiFi Administration section to configure the MiFi device settings. This is the one you need for
this step.
– The network key (also called the Wi-Fi key or network security key) that you need to connect your
MiFi device to your computing device(s).
➎ Select a new administrative password and type it into both New Password elds.
➏ Click Apply.
This is the new administrative password you use when you log in to the browser interface.
NOTE Be sure to record the new password. You will have to reset the device using the Master Reset button
if you lose the administrative password. See Using the Master Reset Button on page 65.
