Choosing a Profile
Your device comes with the Secure profile already set. The following profiles come with your device:
•
Secure
— This is the profile you should use most of the time. You can set up this profile with
the security measures you need to use your device safely.
•
Temporary Hotspot
— This profile allows you set up a temporary hotspot to allow others
nearby (maximum of ten) to go online at the same time.
•
Open
— This profile is not secure and should be avoided.
Setting Up a Temporary Hotspot
You can use the device to set up a temporary hotspot to allow a maximum of ten connections to
your MiFi 4620L at one time.
The Temporary Hotspot profile is pre-set on your device. It generates a temporary network name
(SSID) and network key so you can allow others to connect to your device without having to change
your secure profile's security settings. To set up a Temporary Hotspot, follow these steps:
➊
Connect to MiFi Settings and log in. (See
Configuring MiFi Settings
on page 22.)
➋
Go to the Wi-Fi screen. (See
Wi-Fi
on page 28.)
➌
On the Wi-Fi screen, select Temporary Hotspot as the selected profile.
A new (temporary) network name (SSID) and network key (Wi-Fi passkey) appears. Typically
the temporary network name has the word "Temp" added.

Changing the profile ends all Wi-Fi connections to MiFi 4620L, including the
current connection to MiFi Settings. You
must
re-connect your computer to MiFi 4620L using the
new profile's Wi-Fi settings.
Be sure to write down the new network key (Wi-Fi passkey) before you finish changing the
profile.
Updating the Current Profile
To update the current profile, follow these steps:

If you change the Network Name (SSID), security method, or network key you will need to
re-connect with the Wi-Fi manager on your computer.
•
If you change other settings, your computer will re-connect automatically after
MiFi 4620L restarts.
Tip!
Some Wi-Fi 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 (Wi-Fi
passkey) ends all Wi-Fi connections to MiFi 4620L, including the current connection to MiFi
Settings. You
must
re-connect your computer to MiFi 4620L using the new profile's Wi-Fi settings.
Be sure to write down the new network key (Wi-Fi passkey) before you finish changing the
