In previous threads I posted that I was able to connect to my android phone and also my laptop with great results. I was unable however, to connect to my Roku or my smart TV.

After much head scratching and Google searches that produced no answers, I logged into the 4510's browser interface via my laptop (which was connected to the Mifi at the time) and started writing down the current settings so I would be able to revert back to them if I changed the wrong ones. Here's the change I made that produced the results. Under the "WiFi" tab I changed the setting  from:
WPA2 Personal/PSK (AES)
To:
WPA/WPA2/Personal Mixed Mode

After doing so, the Mifi rebooted itself. From there I was able to connect to the Mifi network from my TV and Roku with no problems.  I  had to manually delete the network, reboot the laptop and then manually add and save the network back to my laptop and it also connected. All is well.

I really don't know if I inadvertently changed the settings by mistake when I changed the password during initial setup or if it was shipped that way so I'm not placing blame on the seller.

I just realized I might have posted this in the wrong place. I probably should have posted it in the original thread for the 3g Verizon deal. My apologies. Please move it if necessary. I'm new to the forum.
Thanks...
