Problem trying to link 4GEE mobile wi-fi device

[IainBissell]

Trying to link my 4GEE dongle in myEE account. Inserted mobile number of the dongle, then it tells me to verify with passcode number. Says to login to retrieve sms message with passcode number. The enter password box comes up and is filled in with

my  EE password - BUT then says invalid password - Any Ideas

Hi @IainBissell,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Are you logging to your router using 'admin' as the username and password?

I am having the same problem with trying to link my 4Gee mobile wifi so I can check how much I have in my account.

You need to login to your router to read the SMS sent to it. Its admin pwd isn't your MyEE pwd but its own written on the label found on it.

Sounds easy but I’m not tech savvy how do I log onto the device?

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.

I’m not tekky either, it’s says link your 4 gee mini WiFi then send sim number which I have done then it asks for a code that has been sent to the sim fill the box and continue. HOW do I read a code that’s been sent to a sim in my router????????

Welcome to the EE Community, @Baylen23 

To view your text inbox, log in to your router at http://192.168.1.1/.

You can find the username and password on your 'keep me card'.

Hope this helps.

@Baylen23 : Most mobile routers can receive texts. Login to it & look for the SMS Section/Inbox.

I was able to log into the router but can't find any way of receiving/reading SMS texts on it - there doesn't seem to be any option available, and no alert appeared when sending the text.  What do I do now?  Is there a way of sending the text somewhere else?  Or do I have to spend 30+ mins on the EE helpline :=(
