How to

Turning use of PIN on or off

The PIN is used to protect your SIM from unauthorised use. When the function is turned on, the PIN needs to be keyed in every time the router is used in order to access your SIM.

Tap and hold On/Off.

Do the following in Mac OS X:
Click the Wi-Fi icon.

Click the name of your Wi-Fi Hotspot.

You can see the name and password for your Wi-Fi Hotspot by tapping the WPS key twice in quick succession.

Key in the password for your Wi-Fi Hotspot and click OK.
A connection to your Wi-Fi Hotspot is established.

Open a browser.
Key in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and tap Enter.

If an incorrect PIN is entered three times in a row, your SIM will be blocked. To unblock your SIM, you'll need to key in your PUK. The PUK can be obtained by contacting Customer Service.
