Vodafone Mifi and Smarty Sim unable to connect
Hi. Have bought a Vodafone Mifi Router and installed a Smarty Sim but am unable to connect to it - I believe it's unlocked and all connection lights on the router show it working. It doesn't show up in my list of WiFi connections on my phone or laptop so am not able to connect to open admin page to change APN etc. Any ideas please?

Also in my Smarty app it shows 259kb of data used, so it is obviously working and all lights of router are on and blue as they should be.
PeterGo_4254040 Are you able to open a browser page and type in the URL for the router home page? This will not need wifi to be available because it only needs the phone and router on the same network.
Thanks for reply. No have tried that but as the router is not showing in my list, my phone or laptop cannot connect to it to open the admin page. It just returns page unavailable- tried all of the 192.168.0.1 combinations
PeterGo_4254040 The app showing 259kb data used - is that simply trying to connect by sending some form of identity?
You say you 'believe' the router is unlocked - any way to get that confirmed by the seller? A quick search suggests that it might be locked and need a network unlock code.
