A guide on how to connect a Mindware Mobile to a MindWare configured router. If the Mobile was purchased and sent alongside the router, then this process will usually be done before shipping the device.

Configuring Mobile SSID

1. Power on the Mobile.
   
2. Press the right arrow button and select Wifi by pressing the B button or the running man button.
   
   
3. Select Menu by pressing the B button.
   
   
4. Select WiFi Settings by pressing the B button or the running man button.

Configuring Mobile with Hidden SSID

Routers may be specifically requested to have its SSID hidden. MindWare configured routers that have a hidden SSID will not show up on a SSID scan and therefore must be manually connected to.

2. Press the right arrow button to set Mode: to ‘Manual’.

3. Using the arrow buttons, enter the passphrase ‘mindware’ and press the B button to save.
   
   
4. Press the A button to return to the Wifi Settings menu.
   
5. Press the B button to save the configuration. You will see a Settings Saved window.
   
6. Press the running man button to select ‘OK’. Following this, a Configuring Wireless window will appear and once the Mobile finishes configuring, the Mobile will return to the Wifi menu.
