Widgets
Widgets are little programs that give you information really quickly. For example, your MiFi device
can give you the weather where you are right now or anywhere in the world. Another example is a
widget that can help you track your data usage and visibly show how much data you have left this
period.
The example pages shown in this guide include widgets for Data Usage, Connected Devices,
Messages, Geosearch, Weather, MiFi DLNA® Server, and Customer Care. These widgets might or
might not be part of your device’s MiFi Landing Page, and are examples of typical widget types.
Some widgets use Internet data and require a connection to the Internet (such as Weather). Other
widgets get data from the device itself (such as Data Usage).
You can collapse a widget by clicking the bar at the top of the widget. The icons in the bar at the top
of the widget provide additional functionality.
This icon provides more information about the widget.
This icon refreshes the widget content.
This icon opens the Settings pane. You can update the settings for the widget. Guest users
might not see this icon, and if so do not have access to the Settings pane.
This icon closes the widget and removes it from the MiFi Landing Page. You can re-add
widgets from the MiFi Landing Page Settings page.
While some widgets work with the device itself and store information on the device, most widgets
work best when you have an active Internet connection.
Using the MiFi DLNA Server
By default, the MiFi DLNA Server is stopped when you rst turn on your MiFi device. To start the DLNA
Server, log into the MiFi Landing Page using your Administration password, and then press the Start
Server button.
To enable the MiFi DLNA Server to start automatically, you can edit the default DLNA settings by
clicking the Gears icon in the upper right corner of the DLNA widget.
The MiFi DLNA server automatically creates a new folder on your microSD card called dlna. The dlna
folder contains subfolders for storing audio, video, and image les. Simply place the media les you
wish to stream over DLNA into the appropriate folder.
• Pictures — JPG and JPEG format les should be placed in the Images folder.
• Music — MP3 format les should be placed in the Audio folder.
• Movies and Video — MPEG and MP4 format les should be placed in the Video folder.
Turn on your Wi-Fi-enabled and DLNA-compatible DVD or Blue-ray® player, game console,
television, tablet, mobile device, computer, audio video system, digital frame or home theater
device. Connect over Wi-Fi to the MiFi device. Use your DLNA-capable device to access the les on
your removable memory storage card, and enjoy your content, hassle-free.
