Updating the Current Profile
To update the current profile, follow these steps.
±
Keep the same profile in the Selected Profile pop-up menu.
Make changes to the profile settings.
Click
Apply
.
If you change the Network Name (SSID), security method, or network key you will need to
re-connect with the WiFi manager on your computer.
If you change other settings, your computer will re-connect automatically after MiFi 2200
restarts.
Tip! 
Some WiFi clients become confused if the security is changed and the network name is not. If you
change security settings and do not get asked for the new network key when you try to reconnect,
delete the existing old network name from your Preferred Networks list on your wireless device.
Then you can reconnect.
IMPORTANT
Changing the Network Name (SSID), security method, or network key (WiFi
passkey) ends all WiFi connections to MiFi 2200, including the current connection to MiFi
Settings. You
must
re-connect your computer to MiFi 2200 using the new profile’s WiFi settings.
Be sure to write down the new network key (WiFi passkey) before you finish changing the profile.

Subnet Mask
— The subnet mask network setting for MiFi 2200. The default value
255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class “C”) networks. If you change the LAN IP Address,
ensure you use the correct Subnet Mask for the IP address range containing the LAN IP
address.
MAC Address
