iBoost Idiots Guide (1 Viewer)

[Jim]

Can someone point me toward an idiots guide to setting up the iBoost, tried a couple of times to use this kit with no success. Thanks.

 

[Mikeco]

The instructions that come with it worked for me, start again and concentrate

 

[Techno]

Isn't it on Adams website Jim?

I'm getting even more out of touch with modern technology - what the f**k is an iBoost?

 

[Chris]

I had a little plastic card that had a summary of what to do that helped me Jim.

You need to follow the sequence exactly on initial set up.

Good luck

 

[Jim]

Don't have the instructions with me and can't find a download on Adams site, but I'm on a very poor connection so they may be there.

[Larrynwin]

Turn I boost on.
In your browser type 10.20.30.40
When asked for username and password type mhw in both
This opens your control panel.
Highlight the wi fi you want to connect to
Enter password if required
Click on change and

Bobs your mothers brother!

This from memory but hope I got it right!!!

assuming its all connected and powered up..
connect to the I boost using the security key on the router
open the browser and go to http//:10.20.30.40
you need to log in with default u/n and p/w which are both'' mhw''
there is a main page and a wireless section.... go to wireless page
click on select .. next to the ssid
a list of wi fi networks will be displayed
select the one you want to connect to by ticking the box on left
then the select button at bottom of the page..
you then get a page up with the selected hot spot you chose
once you are happy with the information and entered any pass key if required click on change at bottom of that page.
you will most probably get a blue bar at the top of the page saying changes have been made... you need to click the apply button.

it should then connect to that network and you can click on the main page tab and check whether you are connected and the signal strength...


I wrote it all down on a bit of paper , set it up with van parked in street in the street and just played around with it till I got familiar..
remember if you are connecting to a fon spot it will take you to a further log in to fon when you first try and go on line..
hope that helps.. but it gets easier after a few goes...

before you can log in to the Iboost, your device has to be connected to the Iboost wifi signal..

that caught me out at first

And the password for that is?

 

[scotjimland]

And the password for that is?

it is supplied with the iBoost

if you have lost it, you will probably need to contact Adam..

or you can try mine.. I'll be right back with it

 

[scotjimland]

The iBoost wifi password is on the bottom of the unit ...

mine is woraso96

Jim are you connecting with an iPad or laptop or android tablet

 

[Larrynwin]

The wireless key is printed on the back of the hot spot , "getting started 2 "

that is for the 'old' unit.. the new mini one has it on the unit

 

[FunnyFendt]

I am using an iboost connected to 3 counties hotspot but in the general car park at Malvern as funsters were full up. C'est la vie.

 

[Jim]

Found that a few moments ago. Remembered the rest, checked the station list and there s nothing there to use anyway, so what a waste of an hour. I'm pointed at the Houses on the Malvern hills I'd have thought there would be a FON spot I could use, but all I'm picking up are other funsters. Sod it. Going in the marquee for a beer

Jim, the "fon" spot on the hill is overloaded, so you/me have no chance to connect.

 

[FunnyFendt]

Me too

I Jim
Give me your email add and I will email you the IBoost manual.

 

[MotorhomersRus]

We have one as well which we can't seem to work ! And we have no instructions
what have you to do to get the signal lights to light up ??? Dosnt mater what we do they never do !

 

[injebreck99]

The major problem I had, being a numpty, was that when the list of signal strenghts came up, Motorhome Wifi was always the best signal, I thought that'll do and tried to log on to that, which was like trying to log on to myself, until that was pointed out, I had had no success, but since that error ewas pointed out, it works well.
