3.1 Overview
The following tips will help solve many common problems encountered while using the Vodafone
Mobile Wi-Fi.
y Ensure that the Vodafone network coverage extends to your current location. You may
check on the device’s screen or via the web UI to ensure the device is registered to a
network, e.g. it mentions your network operator such as “Vodafone UK”. If your device is
showing searching for network then try positioning in an alternative location, e.g. closer
to the window, higher up in a building etc. If you device is continually showing
connecting then ensure the account type selected in the drop down box of the account
section is correct.
y The SSID password is case-sensitive. If you entered it manually then ensure it is exactly
the same as it appears on the device label (or it is the same as the one you may have
changed it to). If you have a problem with Wi-Fi access, connect to the device using the
USB cable to create a LAN connection in order to analyse the status of the device in the
Troubleshooting Screen in Help.
y Make sure you are using the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi device in the correct geographic
region for your SIM.
y Check the Diagnostics Screen in the Help menu bar (see section 3.2) for device status
information.
When properly installed, the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi is a highly reliable product. Most problems are
caused by one of these issues:
y System resources required by the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi are being used by other
devices.
y Network coverage is unavailable due to coverage area, a network problem or an account
problem.
