Once your laptop/Wifi device is wirelessly connected to your phone, the FoxiFi app will show the name/model number of your laptop/Wifi device, which you can then re-name to something else such as “Rob’s Sony laptopâ€Â, etc. Then with your laptop/Wifi device, go to WiFi setting, and find the name that says something like FoxFi (eg: FoxFi58, FoxFi60, etc), then enter the password you created.
