Configuring the Wi-Fi Network

Find out how to manage access to your device’s Wi-Fi network and set Wi-Fi configuration

options.

Setting the Maximum Number of Wi-Fi Devices

If your network is having performance issues, you might want to decrease the number of Wi-Fi

devices allowed to connect to your device at the same time, or change the maximum number of

devices that can connect to either the Main Wi-Fi or Guest Wi-Fi networks at the same time.

(When Guest Wi-Fi is turned on, the maximum number of Wi-Fi devices is shared between Main

Wi-Fi and Guest Wi-Fi.)

Note: Your device is factory preset to allow a maximum of ten (10) Wi-Fi devices, with eight (8)

on Main Wi-Fi and two (2) on Guest Wi-Fi.

You can change these limits on the Mingle Manager’s Wi-Fi > Options page.

In the Mingle Manager (http://minglehotspot)

1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Administrator.)

2. Click Wi-Fi > Options.

3. Beside Max Wi-Fi, select the total number of Wi-Fi devices that can connect to your

device at the same time.

4. Click to increase the Main Wi-Fi limit, or click to increase the Guest Wi-Fi

limit. (Increasing one decreases the other.)

Note: The Main Wi-Fi limit cannot be set to 0.

5. Click Submit.

Wi-Fi Security

Learn about the various Wi-Fi security options available to you.

By default Wi-Fi security is enabled for your device and its Wi-Fi networks.

Note: All devices used with the NETGEAR Mingle Mobile Hotspot must support the selected

security type.

Note: WPS is available only if you select either a WPA2 Personal option (including

WPA/WPA2 Personal) or (not recommended) no security. (See Connecting Through WPS.)

You can change (from the Mingle Manager) the security used for Wi-Fi:
