For every vehicle, there are three ways to check the WiFi status, so you can always keep track of every WiFi device and its hotspot usage.
WiFi hotspots show the following three statuses:
- Enabled means Wi-Fi hotspot is enabled, and data usage is under the threshold.
- Throttled means Wi-Fi hotspot is enabled, but speed is limited due to going beyond the threshold.
- Disabled means Wi-Fi hotspot is disabled due to extremely high usage (this should not happen, but is a backup in case someone goes through too much data too quickly).
Viewing the status of a vehicle’s WiFi hotspot
Through the vehicle’s Live view
- Log in to FleetDashboard, and go to Fleet View > Live.
Click the vehicle you want to view the Wi-Fi hotspot status for.
- The status (enabled, disabled, or throttled) of the vehicle's Wi-Fi hotspot appears under the Other Details section.
You can see the number of GB used if the Wi-Fi hotspot status shows Enabled.
Through the vehicle’s profile
- Log in to FleetDashboard, and go to Fleet View > Live.
Click the vehicle you want to view the Wi-Fi hotspot status for.
