This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.There are very few technologies I will swear by… First is Wifi, the second is a high speed anywhere cellular connection. Now mix the two and you will find the technological crush of my life, the Mifi!

How close do you get to the data cap for your Mifi?
Glad I saw your tweet about this today. I use a Verizon MiFi with my iTouch so this was a good find. I never remember to look at my usage so this is handy. I also like being able to see how strong my signal is.
Thanks!
Bill

Wanted to get the software upgrade, but I can’t log in because I failed to write down my admin name. I have the password, but not the name. Is there a way to reset the device?
Hey Dave,
Try the new 1.1 version of the Mi-Fi app. If that doesn’t work can you please contact me at d[at]n-so.com so I can see if it’s due to the Sprint card firmware update. Thank, Daniel.
