If you've watched my video on the MoFi 4500 router, here are instructions to set
it up. Connect your computer to the MoFi with a network cable using one of
the four available LAN ports. Do not use the WAN port. Insert an active SIM card
for your cell service. After you've connected your MoFi router go to 192.168.10.1
in your browser. Now it's recommended that you
use Internet Explorer and not Edge or possibly Firefox but you don't want to
use the newer Edge browser. It potentially could corrupt your MoFi
settings. When you come to this page the default username is root and you want to
use admin for the password, that is the default. It comes to the main screen here
and the first thing you want to click on is the Wizard. This is going to walk you
through some of the basic setup. So the first thing it's going to ask you is
what router password do you want to use so I'm going to use "password". Don't use
password! Hit Next, then it asks for a country and in this case I'm picking the
United States and I'm going to leave the access point set to Auto. Ht Next.
Generally you leave this "n only" but if you do have older devices you can choose
the "n/g". I'm going to leave that alone. You can pick a name for your Wi-Fi
connection. Let's call it MoFi and we'll leave the security the default.
Let's just pick password again. This does not have to be the same as your router
login password. Hit Next and Finish. That does a quick reboot so we'll skip ahead.
It returns you to the MoFi login. We're going to put it in our password
again and it returns us to the main page. Now we're going to click on this MoFi
Internal Modem. On the Provider Selector tab choose your cell carrier. In my case
it's AT&T and that does a reboot of the router a second time. It returns you to
the login page where we're going to put in our password again and login. Now go
to the MoFi Internal Modem section. You should see your sim ID and your phone
number. If you don't then you can do a reset of those settings and then I'll
show you that in a second here but for now we're going to go ahead and pick
from the list, AT&T broadband in my case but you can see from the list of
choices here what you have available.
Once you've made that selection click Save and it's going to reboot the router
once again and if you have any problems with this step you can click here to
reset the module, you can reset your phone number sim ID, and you can do a
carrier netmask fix up. Choose those options if the other choices do not seem
to work for you. Once you've saved those settings it may reboot. If it doesn't
that's okay. We're going to go back over here to the
Band Scanner and start the scan. This will determine all of the different
bands available for your carrier and your location. You can see from the
list that Band 2, 4, 5, and 12 are available but band 30 is not
available. So I'm going to click over here to band lock and I'm going to
choose Band 2 from the list. Hit Next and then hit Finish to reboot
and it returns you back to the login page once again. At this point you should
have Internet access so I'm going to go ahead and run
speedtest.net and do a scan to see what kind of speed I'm receiving right now.
You can see I'm getting 30 megabit.
You can go back to your MoFi login again and go back to your MoFi
Internal Modem settings and choose Band Lock and select the next available band
that we found in that list if you're not satisfied with the connection speed of
your first one. Walk through the different bands see which one works the
fastest and then leave it on that setting once you're happy. And that's how
you do the configuration for the MoFi. If you have difficulty connecting, make
sure that the SIM card is plugged in the right way, make sure that you've got the
right carrier lock chosen from the list, and once they work you'll be able to
connect all of your devices to the Wi-Fi hotspot and make it work through your
cell carrier. Hey, if you want to see more videos like this one please subscribe
