Introduction
The Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi R201 allows several Wi-Fi enabled devices (for example PCs, mobile gaming devices, digital music players) to share a secure mobile internet connection. The device is battery, mains or USB powered, and this flexibility allows the device to be positioned for best mobile coverage and then share this coverage between several devices via Wi-Fi.
The Vodafone R201 is DLNA certified. This allows the device to act as a Digital Media Server, streaming music, videos and photos from a MicroSDHC™ card (not included) to other DLNA-certified devices. It can also be configured as a shared network drive to allow files to be shared among several Wi-Fi devices.
System Requirements
To use the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi R201 you need a device with Wi-Fi capability (supporting WiFi 802.11 b/g) and an internet browser.
End User Licence Agreement (EULA)
Please ensure that you have read and accept the software EULA for your country before using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband software or device. The EULA is available at the following location: www.support.vodafone.com/VodafoneMobileWiFi/R201

Tip:
WPS security is an additional manual security measure to safeguard and simplify access to the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi by pressing the WPS button when requested by the Windows Operating System instead of manually entering the WPA2 Key. WPS is an integral part of both Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
For more information on WPS configuration please refer to the Advanced Configuration Guide.

secure network WPA2 Key and a Network Name (SSID). The WPA2 Key and the SSID are unique to your device and can be found on a label on the inside of the back cover. These details will be needed if your PC operating system does not support WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) security. WPS is found in both Microsoft® Windows Vista™ and Windows® 7.
