It includes the following sections:
The SSID (wireless network name), wireless password of the Mobile Wi-Fi and security options are preset as default. The default SSID and password can be found inside the back cover of your Mobile Wi-Fi. You can customize the wireless settings as needed.
1.Open your tpMiFi app and log in with the password you set.
2.Go to Tools > Wireless Settings.
•To change the SSID and wireless password:
1.Tap SSID and enter a new one. Tap Done.
2.Tap Password and enter a new one. Tap Done.
3.Tap Save to save the settings. You can see the new SSID and Password now.
•To hide the SSID:
1.Toggle on Hide SSID, so the SSID will not be displayed when you scan for wireless networks.
2.Tap Save.
Note:
If the SSID is hidden, it will not be displayed on your wireless device when you scan for local wireless networks. And you need to manually enter the SSID to join the network.
This feature allows you to restrict unwelcome devices to accessing the wireless network of your Mobile Wi-Fi.

This feature allows you to lock your SIM card with the PIN lock. Once the PIN lock is enabled, every time you start your Mobile Wi-Fi or another device (such as a smartphone or tablet) with this SIM card inserted, you need to enter the PIN code to access the internet.
If you don’t wish to enter the PIN code when using this SIM card on your Mobile Wi-Fi, you can enable the Auto-Unlock PIN function. You will still have to enter the PIN code after inserting the SIM card to another device (such as a smartphone or tablet), however.
