Connecting to your T-Mobile HotSpot

Connecting to Wireless 

You can connect to wireless on the go by using your T-Mobile hotspot.  The information you need is on the back of the hotspot.


Turn on the hotspot:  Hold the power button for 3 seconds.  You will now be able to connect to the SSID starting with “CoolPad Surf” listed under 'Available Networks'. 

You are now ready to use the T-Mobile Network connection. 


How to connect to an available wireless network:  Before you try to connect, be sure you are within range of a wireless access point.
  • • On the bottom right of your desktop, click the WiFi symbol
  • • A box will appear - click below the new WiFI symbol in the box
  • • Click the network name (CoolPad Surf for Hotspot) you wish to join.  
  • • A password box will appear - type in the network password that is listed on the back of your Hot Spot. (If you chose a different network, type in that network’s password.)
  • • Click ‘connect’ and the system will connect to your hotspot or router. 

Warning: Sometimes if you change your password or try to connect to a router with a similar name, you’ll have trouble establishing a connection

How to fix this: ‘Forget’ previously remembered networks

  • • Click the status bar and then click 'settings'
  • • Click the drop-down arrow next to the wireless symbol 
  • • Then choose 'preferred networks'
  • • Bring your mouse over the network’s name (it will become highlighted and an “X” will appear to its right)
  • • Click on the X to ‘forget’ the network  
  • • Click ‘done’
