Wireless Modem

Huawei E585

Set-up guide.

Set-up your own

Mobile Wi-Fi.

Your new wireless modem sends out a Wi-Fi

signal so that you can connect to the internet

without the need for wires. Your modem can link

multiple devices at any one time, for example

your laptop, iPod touch, iPad or Nintendo DSi.

In this Set-up guide we’ll tell you how to set

up your modem and get it working. For help

with connecting individual devices, you’ll need

to look at the Help cards that came in your

modem box for instructions.

First of all, you’ll need to insert the SIM and battery into your modem.

Getting started.

Now connect your modem to the

charger and plug it into the mains or

the USB port on your PC. The first time

you do this it’ll take around 8 hours

to fully charge the battery. You’ll see

this icon when the battery is fully

charged and the modem is on. When

the modem is off, and fully charged,

this icon will appear. To get an idea

of how long the battery can last when

fully charged, go to ‘Frequently asked

questions’ at the back of this guide.

The battery will gradually lose power,

even when it’s not being used, so if

you haven’t used it for a while, you’ll

probably need to recharge it.

Whenever you take the

SIM or battery out of

your modem, make sure

you turn it off first and

unplug the charger.

Press and hold down the Power on/off

key for 2 seconds. The modem will

automatically connect to the Three

network and turn on the Wi-Fi signal.

Once connected, you’ll see the digital

display show the icons explained on

the next page (typically this takes 60-

90 seconds).

You’re now ready to connect your

laptop or other Wi-Fi enabled device

to your modem. To do this see the

relevant Help card found in your

modem box.

SSID and WIFI Key.

Your modem is password protected

with unique codes so that no-one else

can use your Wi-Fi connection. The

unique codes are called SSID (modem

name) and WIFI Key (unique password).

You’ll ﬁnd them on a sticker on the

inside back cover of your wireless

modem. It’s also on the Keepsake card

that came in the box.

You can change either the SSID

(modem name) or the WIFI Key

(unique password) via ‘Change your

settings’ on the dashboard. If you do

change them, you must make a note

of the new details as the old ones

won’t work anymore unless you

reset the modem (see page 11).

Accessing your

dashboard from

a PC or Mac.

If you haven’t already got a connection

you’ll need to look at the Help cards

that came in your modem box which

will show you what to do.

There are two ways to access the

dashboard from a PC and one

from a Mac.

From a PC or Mac

Enter the URL http://3.home/

into your browser and save it

as a Favourite.

From a PC only

The first time you connect your

wireless modem using the USB

cable, the modem will create a

desktop shortcut to the dashboard.

Double click on this icon to open

your browser and go straight to

the dashboard.

You’ll need to be connected to

your Mobile Wi-Fi to access and

use the dashboard. This is free to

do and won’t use up any of your

data allowance.

Getting to know

your dashboard.

Your new wireless modem has an online

dashboard to help you manage your

Three account. The dashboard is a

useful tool that allows you to:

Change your SSID (modem name)

and WIFI Key (unique password) to

something more memorable.

Change your dashboard

View network signal strength.

View important messages from Three

relating to your Mobile Wi-Fi service.

Send and receive text messages to

and from mobile phones.

Your dashboard has a user name and

password to make sure that no-one

else can change your settings.

The default user name is ‘Admin’ and

the default password is also ‘Admin’.

We recommend that you change the

password the ﬁrst time you open the

dashboard via the ‘Change your

settings’ link on the dashboard.

If you change your dashboard password

and then forget it next time you log on,

you can reset all passwords to the

default settings by resetting your

modem (see page 11 of this guide).
