Your Smile Mifi or CPE's SSID is that name that people see (under available networks) when they wish to connect to your Wifi (wirelesss) network.
The default password to your SMILE 4G LTE hub Wireless / Wi-Fi is located just under the device.
Why do I need to change my WiFi key & Dshboard password
Its not advisable to retain your default WiFi key as anybody could connect to your WiFI network just by gaining physical access to your device (the default key is usually printed on the device). Its equally dangerous when you don't change your dashboard (192.168***) password from the default. This is because someone who's connected to your WiFi network could easily login to the dashboard (using the publicly known defaults) and carry out malicious activities .
Steps to change or reset SMILE 4G WiFi password and SSID
To change from this default password to a preferred one:
Connect to the SMILE Wi-Fi using the default password; its Wi-Fi Key (WPA/WPA2) located under the modem
Login using your credentials. If you've never changed them then you can type anything as Username and Password (NOTE that you may never be able to change the username in future so type carefully)
On some models, default username and password could both be user or admin
When logged in, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Basic Settings
Under Wi-Fi Basic Settings, you can change your SSID, Hide SSID broadcast, Wi-Fi password and other settings
Click Apply when you're done
Important Notice
If you'd changed the default password and forgotten it then you'll need to reset the modem and retry the default credentials
