Battery powered portable wireless internet modems are becoming more popular these days despite the fact that every smartphone user now has access to affordable internet data plans.
The 4G LTE capability and Wireless Access of these MiFi Devices makes the best way for Internet Service Providers to expand there reach from Mobile to a larger audience who connect via PC, Console games and Smart TV.
Your ISP may customize the interface of the Mifi Modem to suit their brand and Sell to users but these are usually Network Locked to use only that ISP SIM cards. We recommend you buy Unlocked MiFi Modems sold by the manufacturer because they can be used with any Mobile Network SIM card in any country.

Thanks for this article , but last step is unclear.
What information for access point we will provide , please explain
Every Mobile Network has a different access Point of their own.
You can find it on their website or ask their customer support.
example my MTN Nigeria access point is web.gprs.mtnnigera.net
The password at the back of the zte920w+ is not connecting, pls what is the way out?
Its either you use a pin to press the reset button on the back of the MiFi,
Or you use Admin as the password and Admin as the username cos it is default for every MiFi.
