I found this MHS800L on the shelf cleaning the guest room. I activated it as a verizon line of service. I can see the wifi AP and password. I can connect to it. I can see the status page 192.168.1.1.
I cannot login. This requires an admin password. I also don't know the answer to the reset-admin-password security-question. The manual laughably instructs changing the admin password is easy: simply enter the admin password and... yeah, not so helpful. The manual has similar inanity for reset to factory defaults.
The are 2 exterior buttons shown in the FCC photo gallery for FCC ID XHG-R800. One is power. Neither alone nor in combination seem to result in a factory reset.
Verizon wireless support was as useful as expected. The could not remotely reset it either.
I care because it acts as wifi AP for about 20 minutes before dropping the connection. I want to tinker with settings.
Leaving the Jetpack powered up, remove back cover and hold down the "reset" button, recessed in one of the holes, for 15 sec. Let it fully boot and connect to the Jetpacks Now Default "SSID" using the Now Default WiFi password displayed on Jetpack screen. The Now Default "WIFI Password" IS ALSO the "administrator" password used to access and change the Jetpack settings.

I know this is not allowed by att, but is this something that can be hacked, or is it a hardware issue? Or at least tethering?
Guess it should be solved as a voice call functionality block. S-OFF + simple property modification. Without custom ROM.
I'm sure a hack will be found for it, once the device is rooted and such. Much like the Sprint device ROMs come with the Wireless Tether application, there will likely be one for the Jetstream once we can get the device rooted.
Greetings... Believe it or not, I "accidently" found a way to activate it, without root. I installed super box from the market, and when I was in the power save menu, the hotspot line said off, but clicking it took me to the regular settings menu and the menu to the right allowed me to turn it on, give it a name and set security! The odd thing is that the list of menus on the left is not highlighted as to which one you are in, so you can't access it through "settings," only superbox. There may be another way, but this works!
HI,
I am new to Android with my first device being the Jetstream. I would love to have hotspot capabilities, would it be possible for you o provide a stepwise outline of how you gt this feature to work?
Thanks so much.
Ok, I downloaded the program and as you said, I was able to turn on the wi-fi hotspot capability; however, even when I changed the SSID name it showed up in other devices as "HTC Portable Hotspot" and even if the security was left open it kept asking for a password. I changed the security to require a password, but when I entered it it did not allow me to connect.
Did you do anything else?
I think you are on track.... The password is your choice, and is only an option if you pick one of the two security protocols. The password would be entered on the other device trying to connect to the jetstream. If the name is fixed, I'm at a loss, didn't have that issue...
any luck with this?
I am having a nightmare of a time with the new Samsung Galaxy S 2, on AT&T. Initially it would not connect to Exchange 2010 using the built in account connector. A week later that now works, having changed nothing on my end. Now it connects OK, but will only allow me to set up a complex password on the device to unlock it [no PIN / swipe etc.] despite using the same policy as everyone else. On another Android I have [Atrix 4G] I can use the finger print reader, pin code & swipe pattern and switch between them fine. Our older WinMo 6.5 phones are working fine with pin numbers only. I am using the same Active Sync policy. The phone is set to lock after 10 minutes of inactivity, and I don’t want to leave it much longer than that if I can avoid it.
Ultimately I need to be able to set it up to do the swipe pattern, or at least the PIN number, some of our users need to make phone calls in the car & a complex password is not going to fly. I need the phone to sync with exchange for email, contacts, calendar & tasks, as well as the security features like full encryption & remote wipe [a must] and the recover lost password & failed logins functionality.
Any recommendations?
More Info
I created a separate Exchange ActiveSync policy. Enabled AN passwords and allow simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sysnc'd. Both were required to enter complex passwords. On the GS2 the only option was the complex password. On the Atrix the only options were the complex password & the fingerprint reader [though a complex password was required as the backup in case fingerprint was not available].
Removed requirement for AN password, still allowing simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Now the Atrix will allow for a PIN, password & fingerprint. The SG2 will still only allow for a password.
Removed requirement for AN password and removed simple passwords. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Atrix will still allow for a PIN, password & fingerprint. The SG2 will still only allow for a password.
Removed password requirement completely [no Encryption or anything]. Rebooted devices & sync'd. Now both devices will allow for a PIN, password & nothing as well as the fingerprint on the atrix.
Turned encryption & simple password back on & now it requires a password on GS2, pin, password or fingerprint on the Atrix.
It seams that to enable encryption on the galaxy s 2 you must also use a complex password. :-(
any ideas how to get around this?
Most of the Questions around Wifi and credentials are the opposite of mine, they want to know where to find saved passwords or how to save them.
I'm trying to determine how to prevent Android from saving the Password when authenticating to a WAP, as we use expiring passwords that change every 2-3 minutes via RSA SecurID token.
At work we use:
802.1x EAP - PEAP
No Phase 2
No CA Cert
No user Cert
DO USE Identity
DO USE Password - RSA SecurID (Changes every couple minutes)
I'd like to figure out how to make droid prompt for a new password everytime it tries to Wifi Connect to a WAP at work, which can happens multiple times through out the day as I move around.
Currently, the droid saves the password (which expires every couple minutes) and then tries to use this expired password on the next reconnect, which locks out my account after a few retries.
So the options I can think of but, can't see a way to accomplish, are:
1. Don't save the password.
2. Prompt for credentials after any authentication failure.
3. Clear the saved password immediately.
Any one have any ideas?
I've searched around for an answer to this question, but I can't seem to find anything.
My office uses secured 802.1x wireless. When I try and connect, I get a message saying "You must set a lock screen PIN or password before you can use credential storage". Is there a way around this? I really don't want to set a PIN or password on my phone...
Set it, set up your connection, then change your lock back to None. It only needs the lock when it's initially creating the store. You can remove the screen lock once your credential store is set up.
Awesome. I figured it would be something simple.

This didn't work for me, it asks me to create a code (pattern, pin or password) if I want to create, for example, a VPN connection.
Then, lockscreen requires my code to unlock, and it doesn't allow me to change lock back to none because, it says, it's protected under a credential storage.
If I clear my credential storage it clears my saved connections. This was not an issue on stock and on
As the title implies: I want "a button" that can reopen the Captive Portal page, for instance when I accidentally swiped away the notification upon connecting to whatever wifi it is that I'm connecting to.
So is there any app, Magisk/Xposed module or anything else that can offer such "a button"?
Well that’s an uncommon topic and you can just create a button using More Shortcuts ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.moreshortcuts) to create a shortcut to turn WiFi off and on to reconnect tot he same network with the notification re-popped up.

Yeah, that doesn't always make the notification reappear. The "usual" experience I'm having is that the notification no longer reappear even after turning wifi off and back on, it rarely works that way.
The definitive and only solution that works (for me) all the time is to first turn my wifi off, secondly reboot my phone and lastly turn my wifi back on.
Hence the reason I'm bringing this topic here to (hopefully) eliminate the hassle. Moreover it just irritates me that there doesn't seem to be a dedicated button that can always open the captive portal interface.
Likely depends on how long the given IP is leased to your device(your phone's wifi Mac address usually) the portal is hosted by the network your connecting to this network also decides what traffic gets redirected or not. Its all or nothing with captive portals, you pay/agree to get access or are provided with terms and given a way to to agree or pay. Its not something the client(your phone) has much control over, that would defeat the purpose. If you have root, changing your mac address will likely trigger the portal. A captive portal is a special wepage hosted on a local server. Depending on how its set up, you can find the local ip and port its hosted on. Look up look up your gateway address in wifi settings, it will likely use a special port as well. In your browser, enter the gateway address, much like opening up the settings page of a wireless router. For example 10.0.0.1 is a common address for router settings, a colon : and the numbers following specify the port in chrome or Firefox and many others. I made a portal for my hotspot on my phone. Its hosted on 10.0.0.1:9090 if your on my hotspot and enter that in your browser, my portal will show. An app like fing would find the ip/port combo for you. It may not label it as a portal, but it will be within the subnet(similar address) of the gateway adress, most likely. Another way to get the address(easiest for sure) is to ignore the system captive portal popup, and instead attempt to visit a site in browser, some sites will still work without ssl which will trigger a browser warning. meetme.com is one such site. I use that website to trigger the portal for McDonald's wifi. The "Button" you want, may be bookmarks in your browser of captive portals you find on networks you use.
