For the full rundown of what’s in the MiFi box, check out. Copy Of Iso 2859. Basically, in its SIM-free form as you see here, Novatel Wireless supply a global power-adapter with various plug inserts, a USB to microUSB cable, rechargeable 1,530mAh battery and a small printed Getting Started guide. Minecraft Sp 1.5 2. The MiFi 2352 supports various connection speeds, from quadband (850/900/1800/1900MHz) / up to triband (900/1900/2100MHz) HSUPA/HSDPA. Network-depending, you can theoretically see up to 7.2Mbps downlink rates and up to 5.76Mbps uplink rates. There’s no driver disc, because there needn’t be any drivers.

As standard Novatel require no connection manager – the software Verizon supply with their CDMA MiFi is their own decision; Sprint’s version uses no such app – presuming you’re using the 2352’s WiFi connection. Setup is as speedy as dropping in your SIM, holding down the single button until the lights begin blinking, and then waiting for the MiFi to start spitting out a wireless connection. The default SSID is a sensible “MiFi_2352” and by navigating to “you access the device’s locally-hosted homepage showing the number of connected clients (up to 5 are supported simultaneously), connection details and battery status. Since sharing a capped HSPA data connection via an unsecured WiFi network seems a recipe for overage charges or disconnection, the first step for most users will be accessing the admin pages and setting up WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption.

Thankfully that’s straightforward with the MiFi’s basic but speedy UI; there are also options for MAC filtering and recording various logs of WiFi connections and modem events. The MiFi can be loaded with up to six “internet profiles”, each with corresponding settings to a different SIM; that way, if you regularly switch between carriers (say, if traveling) then it’s simple to flick between the presets.

I am using Windows 7 and the Mifi 2200. I have tried to uninstall the Novatel Mobile Broadband drives through the control panel, but it doesn't work.

As on a full-sized router, there’s also port filtering support, the ability to set custom permitted applications, port forwarding, a switchable DHCP server and VPN pass-through support. Unlike a normal router there’s also an optional power management setting which can shut the MiFi down after between 2 or 60 minutes of idle time. Once you’ve made all the tweaks you want, you can backup the settings to a connected computer. Buttons may be in short supply on the MiFi, but blinking colored lights are not. To be fair, there are only two: one single blue WiFi logo hidden in the chrome strip running the modem’s waist, the other a multicolored light integrated into the power button.

The former lights solid when WiFi is on, then flashes when users are connected. As for the latter, that cycles through various hues to indicate GPRS/EDGE, EDGE/WCDMA or HSPA connections (green, blue or violet respectively) together with flashing red to show low battery and amber to show charge status (flashing when charging, solid when full). There’s no obvious way to see more granular battery status; that requires accessing the MiFi’s status page. One of the main differences between this HSPA MiFi and the CDMA versions available in the US is its microSD slot, according to the documentation happy with up to 16GB cards. With this, it’s possible to turn the MiFi into a miniature, portable NAS of sorts; access can be set as read-only or read/write, though there’s no granular password control over different users as you’d find on a full-scale NAS. From talking with Novatel, it seems this might be addressed in a future update.
