Understanding the On-Screen Display
Once connected, take note of the information displayed on the screen. The
top left hand corner shows the signal strength, ideally this needs to show
3G or 4G. A 2G connection will be very slow.
The name of the network is displayed next to the WiFi symbol and the
password is displayed next to the key symbol and is made up of 8 numbers
which are unique to every device.
Roaming & Using Your Device Abroad
To use this device abroad, you will need to enable roaming. Roaming does not necessarily mean that you will be
charged any more just that you can use a SIM card in a country other than the one in which it is registered.
The easiest way to do this is using the menu on the device itself. 1.) Power on the device. 2.) Once the device has
started up, press the MENU button on the top seven times until the DATA ROAMING option is highlighted. 3.) Press
the POWER button on the front of the device until a tick is now displayed in the box. Data roaming is now enabled.
You may see while completing the above a WiFi Extender Mode. Enabling this mode stops the 3/4G connection, so
keep this disabled. If you struggle to get online, check it hasn’t been enabled by accident. It doesn’t really extend a
WiFi source since there is no external antenna connection for WiFi.
Advanced Usage of the Device
The E5577 has many features, not all of them we are able to provide support on. We’d advise not to change any
settings or passwords. There is a RESET button under the battery cover if you find that a change you have made
prevents the device from working as intended.
There are two ways you can access additional settings on the device. The easiest is using the Huawei
HiLink App. You can download this for free from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, search for
‘Huawei’ and the icon on the left and download the free App. The App will only work when you are
connected to your MiFi device via WiFi. Once connected, open the app which will now display information
in addition to what can be displayed on its build in screen.
There is a useful data counter which can be reset by tapping on the data counter and choosing Settings > Clear
Statistics History. This is especially useful when you insert a new SIM Card and which to monitor your usage.
