Why does my USB hard drive not work with the Mobilelite Wireless but my USB flash drive does?

There a few possible reasons why a hard drive would not be detected. The drive may be using a unsupported format. The hard drive must be formatted in either FAT32, exFAT or NTFS. The Mobilelite Wireless does not support MacOS or Linux formats. The partition type could be GPT. This partition type is usually only used for boot drives and connect be read by the Mobilelite Wireless. You will need to change the partition type to MBR. You may have some type of security feature enabled on the drive. This could be some type of encryption or password protection software that came with the drive. This must be disabled.

What formats or file systems will the Mobilelite Wireless device detect?

The MobileLite Wireless supports FAT, FAT32, NTFS, and exFAT file systems.

What is the maximum storage capacity that the MobileLite Wireless reader will accept?

The MobileLite Wireless reader will support up to 2TB storage devices.

The latest app for the MLWG3 devices does not work on my MLW221 or MLWG2. Why?

The Mobilelite Wireless G3 and Pro use a different app than the MLW221 and MLWG2. The New app is called "Mobilelite Wireless". The older app is called "Kingston Mobilelite". Be aware that the new app will not work on the MLW221 and MLWG2. You still need to use the older app for those. But the old app will work on the MLWG3. Please note: The Mobilelite Wireless app is obsolete and therefore no longer available for download.

My network requires that I manually input an IP address or DNS server address. Can I use Ethernet connection on the MLWG2?

No. You can only connect the MLWG2 to a network that automatically obtains IP and DNS addresses using DHCP.

The MLWG3 does not appear as a reader as the MLWG2 does. How can I connect my MLWG3 to my computer to transfer files?

The MLWG3 wireless network gives you the option to view the contents on the USB/SD storage device connected on the MLWG3 from a computer. Your computer will need to be able to connect to the MLWG3 Wi-Fi network. Internet Browser <ol> <li>On your computer’s Wi-Fi network settings, connect to the MLWG3 network.</li> <li>Open a supported internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari)</li> <li>In the address bar type the MLWG3’s IP address, 192.168.202.254 4.

No. The default static IP address is non-configurable. For the MLWG3, the IP address is 192.168.202.254 For the MLWG3 Pro, the IP address is 192.168.203.254

After joining the MobileLite Wireless network, I no longer have Internet Access on my device. What could be the problem?

MobileLite Wireless is its own wireless network. Joining this network will automatically replace your existing Internet connection, be it your iPad, iPhone, or home/office Wi-Fi network.MobileLite Wireless does offer a bridged network connection which allows you to access the Internet while continuing to stream MobileLite content. This feature basically allows you to “bridge” together two networks. To do this, connect to MobileLite Wireless network and follow these steps: <ol class="div.faq-txtblox ol"> <li>Open the MobileLite Wireless App. If you are using Android, choose your MobileLite Wireless from the device list.</li> <li>Tap the menu icon at the top right corner</li> <li>Tap the ‘Settings’ option</li> <li>Under ‘Network Connection’, select the network you would use to access the Internet. Note: If the selected network is protected by a password, you will need to supply it here in order for the bridging function to work.</li> <li>The MobileLite Wireless reader will then reboot. You may need to go into your Wi-Fi settings and reconnect to the MobileLite Wireless network once the reader is rebooted.</li> <li>Once you’ve connected and authenticated to the network: a) A ‘check mark’ will appear next to the network you chose, indication that the bridging function is working properly –and- b) The bridged LED will light up blue in color. You can now stream content from the MobileLite Wireless network AND access the internet.</li> </ol>

MobileLite Wireless G3 (MLWG3)

Mengapa kapasitas penyimpanan yang tersedia pada produk saya sedikit lebih kecil dari kapasitas yang diiklankan?

Hal ini umum terjadi pada penyimpanan flash, baik penyimpanan SSD internal atau USB eksternal, yang sebagiannya disebabkan oleh perbedaan dalam cara menghitung megabyte antara produsen memori flash vs produsen hard disk dengan piringan berputar. Produsen hard disk menghitung satu megabyte (atau 1.000x1.000 byte) sebagai 1.000KB, sedangkan perhitungan biner untuk penyimpanan berbasis flash adalah 1.024KB.

Contoh: Untuk perangkat penyimpanan berbasis flash 1TB, Windows akan menghitungnya sebagai berkapasitas 931,32GB. (1.000.000.000.000÷1.024÷1.024÷1.024=931,32GB).

Selain itu, Kingston mencadangkan sebagian dari kapasitas yang tercantum untuk pemformatan dan fungsi lainnya seperti firmware dan/atau informasi khusus pengontrol sehingga sebagian dari kapasitas yang tercantum tidak tersedia untuk penyimpanan data.

I use MAC address filtering on my router. When I try setting up the bridge connection and I include the MAC address on the back of the Mobilelite reader, the bridge connection does not work. Is there a way to resolve this?

The MobileLite Wireless reader has two Mac addresses: One for LAN and one for WAN for bridging. The MAC address listed on the back of the device is the LAN MAC address and will not be the same as the WAN MAC address.The WAN MAC address is HEX digit (0-9 and A-F) higher than what is on the back of the device.
