Wi-Fi hotspot and myGMC mobile
application. Make these passwords
different from each other and use a
combination of letters and numbers to
increase the security.
.Change the default name of the SSID
(Service Set Identifier). This is your
network’s name that is visible to other
wireless devices. Choose a unique name
and avoid family names or vehicle
descriptions.

hotspot that provides access to the Internet

some vehicles, the connection type (no Internet connection, 3G, 4G, 4G LTE), and
signal quality (poor, good, excellent). The

possible that the icon may not illuminate

connection.

Qor call 1-888-4ONSTAR to connect
with an Advisor. On some vehicles, the
SSID and password can be changed in

hotspot will connect automatically to your
mobile devices. Manage data usage by
