different from each other and use a
combination of letters and numbers to
increase the security.

network’s name that is visible to other
wireless devices. Choose a unique name
and avoid family names or vehicle
descriptions.

The vehicle may have a built-in Wi-Fi
hotspot that provides access to the Internet

some vehicles, the connection type (no Internet connection, 3G, 4G, 4G LTE), and

possible that the icon may not illuminate
even though the vehicle has an active
connection.
3. To change the SSID or password, press
Qor call 1-888-4ONSTAR to connect
with an Advisor. On some vehicles, the
SSID and password can be changed in
the Wi-Fi Hotspot menu.

hotspot will connect automatically to your
mobile devices. Manage data usage by
turning Wi-Fi on or off on your mobile
device, by using the myBuick mobile app,
