Step 1: Accessing the Admin Interface

The first step is to access the admin interface of your Sapphire MiFi. Connect your device to the MiFi's Wi-Fi network and open your preferred web browser. Type in the default IP address of the MiFi, which is usually "192.168.0.1" or "192.168.1.1", in the address bar and hit Enter. This should take you to the login page of the admin interface.

Step 2: Logging In

On the login page, enter the default username and password for your Sapphire MiFi. If you haven't changed them before, the default values are usually "admin" for both the username and password. Once you have entered the login credentials, click on the "Login" button to proceed.

Step 3: Navigating to the Device Settings

After successfully logging in, you will be redirected to the admin dashboard of your Sapphire MiFi. Look for the "Settings" or "Advanced Settings" tab, and click on it. From the dropdown menu, select the "Device Settings" option.

Step 4: Changing the Device Name

In the Device Settings page, you will find various options related to your Sapphire MiFi's configuration. Look for the field that allows you to change the device name or SSID (Service Set Identifier). It is usually labeled as "Device Name", "Network Name", or "SSID". Click on the field and enter your desired device name.

Ensure that your chosen device name is unique and easy to remember. Avoid using sensitive or personal information as your device name for security reasons. Once you have entered the new name, click on the "Save" or "Apply Changes" button to save the settings.

Step 5: Verifying the Changes

Once you have saved the new device name, disconnect your device from the MiFi's Wi-Fi network and reconnect to it. Look for the updated device name in the list of available Wi-Fi networks. If you can see the new name, congratulations! You have successfully changed the device name on your Sapphire MiFi.
