4GEEWIFI MINI set up

LesBarnes — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 08:00:52 GMT

I bought a 4GEE Wifi mini from PC World yesterday. I have managed to connect both my Apple Mac (late 2009) and my iPhone 7 to the 4Gee internet. I now wish to find the WiFi Mini home page to change the name etc. I have followed what I thought were simple instructions and entered 192.168.1.1 into my browser but both Safari and Firefox will not open the page.

I have seen some similar threads but they do not give a simple solution in plain English.

Hi @LesBarnes,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Are you making sure you are connected to your 4GEE WiFi device when trying to open the admin interface, rather than using mobile data or another WiFi connection?

Thanks James

Yes as far as I can see. I have take the ethernet out of my iMac and connected to the 4GEE -WiFi-9311-2.4GHz network. Nothing opens.

Did the same on my iPhone 7

The message comes up "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding

Hi @LesBarnes ,

Is it just a case of the browser not trusting the web site at the IP address and you just need to go into the advanced settings to tell it to trust that page, or do you feel there is nothing at that IP address at all?

If you feel that there is nothing at that IP address at all, you can use online resources to find the default route and the IP address of the default route will be the IP address of your router.

Many thanks for the advice

I think I found why I couldn't connect via my iMac. I had an ethernet connected to my Virgin hub which wasn't working at the time - hence I needed the mini wifi. Once I had disconnected the ethernet cable and only had the mini wifi showing against wifi network name, I was able to connect to the mini wifi and check data usage etc. So far have been pleased with the mini wifi which I have used as an emergency back up when my broadband provider goes down.
