Connecting MobileLite Wireless G2 as a Local Reader
To add content to MobileLite Wireless G2, you can connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with
the device (with a card or USB memory connected to the MLWG2) or you can copy content directly to a USB, SD,
or MicroSD (using the accompanied adapter) drive and inserting the media into the appropriate slot on the
MobileLite Wireless G2.
When connected to a computer, MobileLite Wireless G2 has to off,
so it can behave like any standard media reader device, creating a
data volume on your PC or Mac for each media type you have
inserted on the MLW (i.e. USB, SD, MicroSD.) You can populate
each volume with digital content that you can later share or access
wirelessly via the Kingston MobileLite Application.
When copying content to the media, it is highly recommended that
you create folders on the each volume to help you organize and
quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the content
of MobileLite Wireless G2 (as opposed to dumping all of your files
onto the root volume or into a single folder). For example, you may
want to store all of your music files in a folder called “My Music”, or
keep all of your photos in a separate folder called “My Pictures”,
and so on.
When you are finished loading content, please safely disconnect
MobileLite Wireless G2 from your computer. This will keep the
power of the device off. To turn it back on, press and hold the
power button for 3 seconds.
Connecting to MobileLite Wireless G2 over Wireless
MobileLite Wireless is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad
or iPhone, you will see ‘MLWG2-XXXX’ in the list of available networks to join.
Settings App --> Wi-Fi option --> Choose a Network-> MLWG2-XXXX by default (XXXX indicates the last four
characters of the device’s unique MAC address. The MAC address of your device could be found on the bottom
of the MobileLite Wireless G2)
By default, there is no password and when you connect to MobileLite Wireless G2 from your iOS device, you are
establishing a dedicated link to MobileLite Wireless G2 over that wireless signal. Once you connect to MobileLite
Wireless G2, you will substitute your iPad/iPhone’s Internet connection with MobileLite Wireless’s wireless
connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, MobileLite Wireless G2 does
provide a bridging function that allows you to maintain access to MobileLite Wireless’s content while connecting to
a Wi-Fi Internet connection. See Page 20.

Setup
Once you’re connected to the MobileLite Wireless G2 network, you can begin to configure your device by
launching the Kingston MobileLite application. There are 3 quick simple steps that require your attention before
you begin to access your MobileLite Wireless G2.Please see below.
Note: The initial setup will only be present the first time you launch the Kingston MobileLite app. For any
future changes, you will be required to navigate to the device settings. See page 19.
Figure 7.1: Name/SSID Change
The first step provides the option to change
the name / SSID (Default MLWG2-XXXX).
The last four characters of the unit’s unique
MAC address will be in place of the “XXXX”.
This will prevent any confusion when
multiple devices exist within close proximity.
Please see Figure 7.1.
Figure 7.2: Set Password
In Figure 7.2, you will notice the option to
password protect your device from
unauthorized users. With the WPA2 security
protocol in affect, only users who are given
the password will have access to the device.
The password must contain a minimum of 8
characters.

MLWG2-XXXX as seen in Figure 18.1
Battery Life - indicates amount of charge left in battery
Auto Shutdown –if enabled, the MLWG2 will
automatically shutdown at the selected time given. (30
Minutes –5 Hours)
Firmware –MLWG2 device firmware
Visibility –this gives you the option to hide or unhide
the SSID specified in the ‘Name’ field. By default, the
visibility status is turned ‘ON’. If you wish to turn this
feature ‘OFF’, the device name will NOT be
broadcasted1in the list of available wireless networks on
your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device; however, you
can still join the Wi-Fi network by entering the device
name manually using the menu option, ‘Other…’.

Accessing the Internet via WI-FI (Bridge Mode)
Traditionally, the Wi-Fi antenna on your iPad or iPod touch device is used to access the Internet. The MobileLite
Wireless, however, uses the Wi-Fi antenna on your Apple device to stream content, which effectively disconnects
your iOS device from the Internet. Fortunately, MobileLite Wireless’s Wi-Fi antenna supports bi-directional traffic
and can be used for implementing a feature called Bridge Mode. This mode allows you to be connected to
MobileLite Wireless G2 while it is connected to a Wi-Fi network (as a host client) that has access to the Internet.
To set up this feature and see a list of available wireless networks in your range, open the Kingston MobileLite
App and navigate to settings. Under the ‘Network Connection’ tap on the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to.
After making your selection, MobileLite Wireless will prompt you for the Wi-Fi password (if security is enabled)
and reboot. If there is no password, the device will automatically reboot.
Once MobileLite Wireless G2 has rebooted, you will be prompted to select a wireless network. You MUST select
your MobileLite Wireless G2 network in order to maintain access to its contents. Since you’ve already connected
to the network via MobileLite Wireless’s App, there is no need to select it from the list again. If you do select it,
you will be disconnected from MobileLite Wireless G2.
To verify that you have successfully enabled Bridge Mode:
1. From the Homescreen, select the menu icon
2. Select Settings
When the list of wireless networks appears, you will
notice a 'check mark' symbol located to the left of the
network you selected in the Kingston MobileLite App.
See Figure 19.1 This indicates that the bridge
function is working properly and you are connected to
MobileLite Wireless G2 and the Internet at the same
time.
So if you're streaming content from the MobileLite
Wireless to your Apple device and need to quickly look
something up on-line, just open your internet browser
and away you go.
When you want the device to forget a wireless
network, you click on the red X next to the Wi-Fi icon.
See Figure 19.1. The device will reboot with the
bridge LED off. Reconnect to the MobileLite Wireless
G2 network. Now the blue ‘check mark’ symbol will no
longer appear next to any network. This indicates that
the bridge function is disabled.

Accessing the Internet via the Ethernet Port (Hotspot)
If you have a wired internet connection, you can plug an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the Kingston
MobileLite Wireless G2. This would allow you to create a hotspot for wireless internet access. While connected
to the Ethernet bridge mode the Wi-Fi bridge mode will be disabled temporally until the Ethernet cable is
removed.
NOTE: Only compatible with DHCP.
Simply connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
Check that bridge LED is ON to verify that you have a
successful connection to the router. See Figure 20.1.
If you haven’t already, make sure to connect to the
MLWG2 in your iOS device’s Wi-Fi settings.
