Connecting To Mobilelite Wireless G2 Using The Android Device Wi-Fi Settings; Updating The Firmware On The Mlwg2 - Kingston Technology MobileLite User Manual

Connecting to MobileLite Wireless G2 Using the Android Device Wi-Fi Settings

MobileLite Wireless G2 is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your
Android device, you will see 'MLWG2-XXXX', where XXXX refers to the last four characters of the MLWG2's
unique MAC address in the list of available networks to join.
From your Android device:
Settings --> Wi-Fi --> Choose a Network (MLWG2-XXXX by default).
NOTE: The MAC address of your device can be found on the bottom (back side) of the MobileLite
Wireless G2 device. By default, there is no security password set for the MobileLite Wireless G2.
Once you connect to the MobileLite WiFi network, you will substitute your tablet/phone's Internet connection with
MobileLite Wireless G2's wireless connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet.
However, MobileLite Wireless G2 does provide a bridging function that allows you to maintain access to
MobileLite Wireless G2's content while connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet connection. Please see page 19 for
bridging configuration.
