Samsung LTE 2 extender power setting

Jetpack 7730L restarts different settings
I have a 7730L I purchased used. About 2 hours after I turned it on, it installed a firmware update, restarted, and then the SSID and the password changed.

Why Did I Need A Jet Pack When I Have Unlimited Internet?
The sales rep my wife and I dealt with added insurance and talked us into a jet pack. He also failed to mention that it only had a 10 gig limit, even though we have unlimited internet.
