AirCard 810 Mobile Hotspot

Security Passwords

Three passwords are associated with the mobile hotspot:

• WiFi password . Use this to connect your computer or other WiFi device to your mobile

hotspot network. This character string is unique to your device. It displays on the main

mobile hotspot touch screen. If the screen is blank (a power-saving feature), press and

quickly release the Power button. The default WiFi password is also printed on a label

under the battery.

• Guest WiFi password. When the guest WiFi network is enabled, guests can use this

password to access the network.

• Web page login password . Use this to log in to the mobile hotspot web page as an

administrator. You must log in as an administrator to use certain features and to make

changes to your mobile hotspot settings. The default login password, password, is

printed on a label under the battery. The login password can be 5–31 characters.

You can change these passwords on the mobile hotspot web page (http://netgear.aircard or

http://192.168.1.1).

Note: Your device might use a different web address. To get the web

address for your device, tap Settings > More > Device Information >

AC810S Manager or look at the label under the device battery.

Install Drivers for Tethered Mode

You can use your mobile hotspot in tethered mode (connected to a computer using the USB

cable) instead of connecting to it using WiFi. For more information on USB tethering, see

USB Tethering on page 56.

Note: The first time that you use your mobile hotspot in tethered mode,

drivers are loaded on your computer to support the mobile hotspot.

 To install drivers on computers running operating systems other than Windows XP:

1. Ensure that the mobile hotspot is powered off.

2. Connect the mobile hotspot to your computer using the USB cable.

The mobile hotspot automatically powers on and installs the necessary driver.

You can visit the mobile hotspot web page at http://netgear.aircard or http://192.168.1.1

to customize your mobile hotspot’s advanced settings.
