I hope this helps answer your question; The device has a generic password set at the factory. DO NOT KEEP THIS PASSWORD - DO NOT USE THIS PASSWORD BEYOND AS NEEDED TO SET THE DEVICE UP - ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU ASSIGN THE DEVICE A PASSWORD ONLY YOU KNOW - THE PASSWORD YOU ASSIGN THE DEVICE WILL REPLACE THE PASSWORD THE DEVICE HAS FROM THE FACTORY - IF YOU FORGET THE PASSWORD YOU ASSIGNED TO THE DEVICE, THE FACTORY PASSWORD CAN BE RECOVERED AND PUT BACK INTO SERVICE VIA A HARD RESET OF THE DEVICE - MAKE SURE YOU PROVIDE A NEW PASSWORD FOR THE DEVICE AFTER A HARD RESET. THIS DEVICE REQUIRES ACCESS TO AN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER, I.S.P. TO FUNCTION. THE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER, I.S.P., PROVIDES THE GATEWAY, OR DOORWAY, TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB AKA; THE INTERNET, AKA; CONNECTED WORLD, AKA; INTERNET OF THINGS. The I.S.P. provides internet service, (SIGNAL), to this doorway, gateway, access to the internet with equipment built to their specifications. The I.S.P. can provide their equipment, or you can purchase your own equipment built to the providers specifications, the equipment allows you to have an account with the I.S.P., and monitored access to the I.S.P.'s internet service signal/feed and data management/dispatch/delivery equipment for which you will pay a monthly fee. All Mainstream Cellular service providers, are also I.S.P.'s and allow you to carry the internet with you via your smartphone. This all said, its my opinion based on personal experience, 98% of the time you do not need, and will have no use for, a device such as this. This device can connect to EXISTING INTERNET SERVICE. INTERNET SERVICE THAT IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED WITH AN I.S.P., AND TO WHOM THE CONNECTED CLIENT OF THIS I.S.P. PAYS A MONTHLY FEE FOR THEIR CONNECTION, LEVEL OF SERVICE, AND POSSIBLY EQUIPMENT. THE ONLY THING THIS DEVICE DOES, IF YOU HAVE THE INTERNET CLIENTS PERMISSION, IS ESTABLISH A WIRELESS RELAY CONNECTION TO THAT CLIENTS WIRELESS BROADCAST I.S.P. CONNECTION. If you travel, use public WIFI, this device will enhance the pre-established WIFI signal to that I.S.P. Clients connection to the internet via that clients pre-established WIFI router's broadcast signal. If you find yourself in a Motel on a single floor plan where the office is the center, two wings of rooms extending to the left and right of center, and the Office is the location of the I.S.P. connection and WIFI Broadcast signal. That signal may not be strong enough in the end rooms to ensure a stable internet connection, this device may be able to reliably connect to that WIFI signal, and amplify it so that your Laptop can connect. The biggest advantage to this device, the reason for having one, it's protection of your computer and the data it holds inside. Simply put, this is the brick wall between all the people using the motels WIFI I.S.P. connection, and your laptop. All those other people have to get through this device, before they can start snooping around inside your laptop. If the existing pre-established WIFI I.S.P. connections is overloaded with too many users, this device can't do anything to fix that. This device is not capable of providing internet in the absence of a PRE-EXISTING fee based I.S.P., internet connection. Even so called free access public WIFI, at the point where that WIFI signal originates, the I.S.P. connection/access, somebody is getting a bill for that service. This device will only connect to wireless internet service if you have the permission and logon credentials to use that service. I use it to communicate with my Vehicle's 3 onboard computer networks. From my home office, to my Vehicle in the driveway, I can reprogram vehicle systems attached to any one of the 12 vehicle computer modules that the vehicle manufacturer allows me to access and manipulate. Primarily convenience, comfort, visibility, and sensors that alert the driver to potential hazards. As well as run various vehicle system diagnostics, and engine diagnostic procedures. As long as I have a signal to my smartphone, I have internet access. Lastly, if you think you can use this to make an end run around mom and dads restrictions regarding your use of the residential WIFI, think again. This device does not hide well, and certainly not in plain sight. Besides, we will most certainly know about it, the problem for you is, how much we know, and for how long we knew it! Hope this helps a little.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
