Kingston MobileLite Wireless G2
Connecting MobileLite Wireless G2 as a Local Reader
To add content to MobileLite Wireless G2, you can connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with
the device (with a card or USB memory connected to the MLWG2) or you can copy content directly to a USB, SD,
or MicroSD (using the accompanied adapter) drive and inserting the media into the appropriate slot on the
MobileLite Wireless G2.
When connected to a computer, MobileLite Wireless G2 has to off,
so it can behave like any standard media reader device, creating a
data volume on your PC or Mac for each media type you have
inserted on the MLW (i.e. USB, SD, MicroSD.) You can populate
each volume with digital content that you can later share or access
wirelessly via the Kingston MobileLite Application.
When copying content to the media, it is highly recommended that
you create folders on the each volume to help you organize and
quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the content
of MobileLite Wireless G2 (as opposed to dumping all of your files
onto the root volume or into a single folder). For example, you may
want to store all of your music files in a folder called “My Music”, or
keep all of your photos in a separate folder called “My Pictures”,
and so on.
When you are finished loading content, please safely disconnect
MobileLite Wireless G2 from your computer. This will keep the
power of the device off. To turn it back on, press and hold the
power button for 3 seconds.
Connecting to MobileLite Wireless G2 over Wireless
MobileLite Wireless is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad
or iPhone, you will see ‘MLWG2-XXXX’ in the list of available networks to join.
Settings App --> Wi-Fi option --> Choose a Network-> MLWG2-XXXX by default (XXXX indicates the last four
characters of the device’s unique MAC address. The MAC address of your device could be found on the bottom
of the MobileLite Wireless G2)
By default, there is no password and when you connect to MobileLite Wireless G2 from your iOS device, you are
establishing a dedicated link to MobileLite Wireless G2 over that wireless signal. Once you connect to MobileLite
Wireless G2, you will substitute your iPad/iPhone’s Internet connection with MobileLite Wireless’s wireless
connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, MobileLite Wireless G2 does
provide a bridging function that allows you to maintain access to MobileLite Wireless’s content while connecting to
a Wi-Fi Internet connection. See Page 20.
