Find a location in your home for your device, usually a location on the main or upper floors is fine. If your home is just beyond a coverage area in the map available at www.nmu.edu/LTE, you might experiment with different locations in your home to find the best location.

Connecting to the HUAWEI E5172 Wi-Fi

By default, the Wi-Fi access point name is “UNE 4G LTE-_ _ _ _” (the _ _ _ _ will be the last four of the device's serial number). The serial number can be found on the bottom of the device, along with the automatic Wi-Fi SSID (or connection name) and the Wi-Fi Key (or password).

1. Start your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device. Using its settings to connect to the “UNE 4G LTE-_ _ _ _” access point. The pass code for the wireless will be “4glte_ _ _ _” (the _ _ _ _ will be the last four of the devices serial number-the same four as the numbers shown for the connection)
2. Open a web browser and in the search or browser bar type in “192.168.1.254”. This will bring you to the “LTE Broadband Center”. 
3. Use the drop down menu next to “Idioma:” to change the language back to English.

​Changing the SSID and Network Key to Secure the HUAWEI E5172(Recommended)

By default, the Wi-Fi Key or password “4glte_ _ _ _” (the _ _ _ _ will be the last four of the devices serial number). Because the key is the same set up for all Huawei E5172 devices, with the only difference being the last four of the serial, we recommend changing the password.

1. While still in the “LTE Broadband Center”, go to the “Wi-Fi” tab and scroll down to the “SSID Profile” information
2. Next to “SSID” you can change this so that your Wi-Fi connection will be unique.
3. Go down to where it says “Display password:” and check that box. At the bottom of the page, next to “WPA-PSK:” you should be able to see what the 
4. password is. Erase what is in the box and create your unique password or network key. Make sure you know your new password or write it down.
5. Scroll down and click.  “Submit” Your Device will have to Restart; this will take a minute. 
6. Reconnect to your Wi-Fi, it should now be called the unique name you gave it and you should use the new password.

Registering your Huawei E5172 

Once you connect to the device and set up the NMULTE profile, the LTE device needs to be registered on the NMU network.

1. Open a web browser and go to register.nmu.edu.
2. You should be prompted to log in with your NMU ID and password.
3. Once you log in follow the prompts to register the LTE device on the network.
4. Once completed power the LTE device off and then back on. You should now be able to access the Internet.

Using the Reset Button

The reset button located on the side of the HUAWEI E5172, it will be a pin hole button so you will have to use a paper clip to press the button down. It will set the entire device back to how it was when you received it, when you hold it down for five seconds while the device is on. You will have to set up the NMULTE profile again and go through all the steps. This is a good choice if you have forgotten what the settings were.
