Occasionally our Spectrum Internet Service Provider has outages. To ensure internet service to our tenants, Bauer Properties provides a backup option for internet service. Here are instructions on how to implement this backup internet service.
Locate the MiFi in the black in-and-out box marked "VERIZON MIFI" in the middle mail cabinet near the back door.
Take the MiFi out of the case, then turn it on by holding the button on the top of the MiFi until it powers up.
The first digital screen that appears, will state "Usage Info is currently Unavailable". This will occur until it locates a connection."
The second digital screen that appears, will state "Connecting to the Network. Please Wait...". This will occur until it connects.
The third digital screen that appears, will display the Verizon Network usage information.
At this point, take a look at the battery icon in the right-hand corner of the MiFi screen and confirm the battery has a full charge. If it is not, use the charging cord located in the mesh bag to charge the MiFi Device. There is a plug next to the microwave if needed.
Once the Verizon Network usage information displays, you may now connect your device.
Leave the MiFi next to the plug so all tenants can gain access to the MiFi as needed in an outage.
On your phone, tablet, or computer, go to the WiFi settings screen. Here is an example on the iPhone
Select the WiFi option. The WiFi option will show all the available networks. Select "Verizon-791L-C3A3". Note it may take a moment to appear.
When prompted, enter the password for the Verizon-791L-C3A3 network. The password can be found on a card within the mesh bag.
When you leave the office and no one else is on site, turn off the MiFi and return it to the mesa bag and black box marked Verizon MiFi in the mail cabinet.
If for some reason you are unable to connect, feel free to text, call or email and someone at Bauer Properties will walk you through the process.
