This document provides a quick start guide for the HUAWEI Mobile WiFi Pro2, a versatile device designed to offer portable internet connectivity and additional functionalities.

Function Description

The HUAWEI Mobile WiFi Pro2 serves primarily as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing multiple devices to connect to the internet using a cellular data connection. It supports a micro-SIM card for this purpose. Beyond its core function, the device can also act as a Wi-Fi extender, boosting the coverage of an existing Wi-Fi network and potentially reducing mobile data usage. A unique feature is its ability to charge other devices, such as phones or Bluetooth headsets, making it a convenient power bank on the go. It also supports a microSD card, although its specific function is not detailed in this guide. The device can be managed through a dedicated HUAWEI HiLink app or a web interface, offering flexibility in control and configuration.

Usage Features

Connectivity:

• Wi-Fi Hotspot: Insert a micro-SIM card to create a Wi-Fi network for your devices.
• WPS Button: For quick and secure connections, press and hold the WPS button for more than five seconds to set up a WPS connection with WPS-enabled devices.
• NFC Sensor (Optional): If your device (e.g., Android phone or tablet) has NFC, you can connect to the Mobile WiFi Pro2's Wi-Fi by simply touching your device against the NFC sensor. This feature requires the HUAWEI HiLink app to be installed and NFC to be enabled on your device. If the app isn't installed, touching the sensor will prompt you to download it.
• Wi-Fi Extender (Optional): Enable this feature via the HUAWEI HiLink app to extend the range of an existing Wi-Fi network, helping to conserve mobile data.
• Ethernet Port: The device includes an Ethernet port, allowing it to function as a router and potentially reduce mobile data usage by connecting to a wired network.
• Output Charging Port: Use this port to charge other devices.
• Micro USB Port: This port is likely for charging the HUAWEI Mobile WiFi Pro2 itself.

Management:

• Screen: The device features a screen that displays important information, including the current SSID (Wi-Fi network name) and Wi-Fi network key.
• HUAWEI HiLink App: Download this app for easy management of your Mobile WiFi Pro2. With the app, you can:
  • Change the SSID and Wi-Fi network key.
  • Check data traffic and SMS messages.
  • Monitor roaming status and signal strength.
  • Enable the Wi-Fi extender function.
  • Disable PIN verification for network connection.
• Web Interface: Alternatively, you can manage the device through a web interface by navigating to http://192.168.8.1 (default, may change to 192.168.9.1 if there's an IP conflict). The default username and password for the web interface is "admin." The web interface also provides a "Help" section for more information.

Power and Charging:

• Power Button: Press and hold to turn the device on or off.
• Charging Other Devices: The Mobile WiFi Pro2 can charge other devices using either a dedicated charging strap (a standard accessory) or a standard charging cable. Ensure the charging strap is correctly inserted into the designated port. The device will not charge other devices if its own battery is low or if it is overheating.
• Charging the Device: Use compatible chargers provided by a designated manufacturer. The charger is an optional accessory.

Maintenance Features

Security:

• Changing Default SSID and Wi-Fi Network Key: It is strongly recommended to change the default SSID and Wi-Fi network key to enhance data security. This can be done via the HUAWEI HiLink app or the web interface.
• PIN Verification: If enabled, you will need to enter a PIN to connect to the network. This feature can be disabled through the HUAWEI HiLink app if it becomes inconvenient.

Troubleshooting and Reset:

• Restarting the Device: If the device is unresponsive, try restarting it by pressing and holding the power button.
• Factory Reset: If restarting doesn't resolve an issue, or if you forget the username, password, or SSID, you can restore the device to its factory settings. Press and hold the Reset button for this purpose.
• Wi-Fi Auto-Off Feature: To save power, the device's Wi-Fi may automatically turn off after a period of inactivity. You can reactivate Wi-Fi by pressing the POWER button. This feature can also be disabled via the web interface, though this may impact battery life.
• Overheating Protection: If the HUAWEI Mobile WiFi Pro2 is used continuously for an extended period, it may overheat. This will trigger an automated protection system, turning off Wi-Fi and powering down the device. To prevent this, ensure the device is properly ventilated and cooled before powering it on again.
• IP Address Conflict: If you cannot access the web interface at the default IP address (192.168.8.1), it might be due to an IP address conflict. Try 192.168.9.1. If the device has an LCD screen, the new IP address will be displayed there.
