4G Mini-Hub Dongle password

Loughlini — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 09:20:45 GMT

I have received from EE a Dongle (Mini-Hub) whilst my Fibre cable is being repaired. It is asking me to log-into the UI where I have an SMS outstanding. It will not allow me to enter any of the passwords, either from the card or Google recommended passwords. Clearly I have screwed up somewhere. Is there a default password I can use to log-in or some other method of obtaining a fresh password?

If it is not recognising the admin password on the KeepMe card it is likely been changed from default & so you need to Reset it. There should be a 'R' button or hole somewhere.

Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with username/pwd as "admin"/"admin" or with the admin password found under the battery cover.

Hi, thanks for that. This is not a normal hub/router as such. It is a small 2"x3" white box that allows temporary access to the 4G network. It doesn't have a reset button or admin password. it just has the SSID with its password. I can use them to login to the network but I cannot access the UI at http://192.168.1.1 It comes back with invalid password.

Does it look like

That's a 4GEE WiFi Mini mobile router. I have 1.

Take the back off. On the back of this cover is the admin pwd on bottom of label. At the top of the battery is a Reset (R) button. I notice the admin pwd is not on the KeepMe card at all, so your attempt from that was with the wrong pwd.

Great, yes that's the one. I took the back off and lo & behold there is the Admin password.

I''l go back and try what you suggested.

Thanks.

Thanks! You're welcome 🙂 ! Glad I could be of assistance & trust it is now sorted.

No need to Reset then!

Yes, all working now. Thanks for your help. I might recommend to EE that they update their Dongle User Guide so that numpties like me can find the site and admin password. 😄
