Secure — This is the profile you should use most of the time. You can set up this profile with
the security measures you need to use your device safely.
Temporary Hotspot — This profile allows you set up a temporary hotspot to allow others
nearby (maximum of ten) to go online at the same time.
Open — This profile is not secure and should be avoided.
Setting Up a Temporary Hotspot
You can use the device to set up a temporary hotspot to allow a maximum of ten connections to
your MiFi 4620L at one time.
The Temporary Hotspot profile is pre-set on your device. It generates a temporary network name
(SSID) and network key so you can allow others to connect to your device without having to change

Wireless Communications
IMPORTANT Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications,
data occasionally can be lost or delayed.
This can be due to the variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in the
characteristics of the radio transmission path. Although data loss is rare, the environment where you
operate the modem might adversely affect communications.
Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several different
factors including signal reflection, the ionosphere, and interference from other radio channels.
