The ZTE Mobley Mobile Hotspot is a vehicle-based Wi-Fi device designed to provide internet connectivity on the go. It creates a Wi-Fi network within your vehicle, allowing smartphones, laptops, tablets, digital cameras, printers, gaming consoles, and digital picture frames to connect to your network provider's mobile broadband network.
Function Description:
The Mobley functions as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, drawing power from your vehicle's On-Board Diagnostics (OBD II) connector port. Once plugged in and the vehicle's engine is running, it automatically searches for and connects to your network provider's mobile broadband network. Users can then connect up to five (5) Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the hotspot's Wi-Fi network(s). The device offers both a Main Wi-Fi network for trusted devices and an optional Guest Wi-Fi network for temporary users. It supports SMS messaging, allowing users to view and delete messages through the AT&T Wi-Fi Manager home page. The device can be managed via a lite or full AT&T Wi-Fi Manager web interface, accessible at http://attwifimanager with a default administrator login of attadmin. This interface allows for viewing connected devices, changing Wi-Fi network names and passwords, configuring data network options (domestic and international roaming), and accessing detailed device information.
