Hi all, Just in case anyone else ever needs to use this number, the person I spoke with was very nice, but not very knowledgeable. Now admittedly, there’s probably less demand for info re Mifi devices, but every time I asked a question, she had to look up the answer. I would have preferred

Verizon Wireless does have an accessibility phone number. I'd contact them and see if there is a way that they can help with this. Their number is (888)262-1999. On 8/10/23, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: > Hi Cara, > > Thanks so much for your messages and suggestions. I suspect you

Hi Cara, Thanks so much for your messages and suggestions. I suspect you are right, that it is a security measure, but it’s one I could do without. :) I contacted my employer to see if there is a less menu driven option, but it was the end of the day, so I haven’t heard back yet. I think

Donna, that sounds like a nightmare! I’m not sure what the current crop of Jetpack’s do to establish a connection but I’m imagining what you’re describing with your device is really a security measure. If you still need any more details on this device, just let me know, otherwise, please feel

Ah, yes, the user name / password! I think mine was written on a sticker on mine. I remember the IP address being displayed from the menu though. Cheers! Cara > On Aug 9, 2023, at 4:04 PM, Shai wrote: > > Hello Donna, > I have used a mifi device before. I'm not sure what you're trying to >

Hi Donna, Not sure if this will help, but I’ve used a couple of these over the last 12 years or so. I have an older Verizon Jetpack now. You should be able to log on to your device like you would with any other router, once you have its IP address. It’s been several years since I configured

It looks like, with this particular device, in order to connect a device, you have to select it from a menu system on the display of the MIFI. I guess I was expecting to be able to connect from the device, just like I would to a wireless network. Cheers, Donna > On Aug 9, 2023, at 5:04 PM,

Hello Donna, I have used a mifi device before. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but if all you are trying to do is to get connected with it, then there should be a button to turn it on and the name/password of the device will be displayed on the screen. You could then use a visual

Hi all, Due to our incredibly lousy internet service, I decided to rent a mini from my employer. They sent an Orbic Speed, and it turns out you have to use the display screen to do absolutely everything. Does anyone know if there is a wifi device that is more accessible? TIA, Donna -- The
