tracking Huawei Mifi Model online

Question

Okay, i'm going to try and explain as best as can.

I want to be able to track my Huawei Mifi device with my phone (using maps) from any location even if I leave the device at home or in the office (provided the device is broadcasting a wifi signal). Please understand that I don't want to have to be connected to the device in order for me to find it.

• Device Manufacturer: Huawei
• Device Type: Mobile Wifi (Mifi)
• Device Model: E5372
• Service: 4G

Answer 1

You might think you could pick up the external address of the HotSpot with a query from a PC using it to ipchicken.com and track its location based on that IP address, but you will need better data, like GPS (and that hotspot does not have GPS built in) or picking up another WiFi signal which does have a known location.

There is no method of associating an exact physical geographical address or the person associated with an IP address that an end-user can do; so, you need to speak with your telco, the outfit you pay for hotspot service, and ask them if they have a reporting service to.

So, your best bet is to call your telco, the cellular company who you pay for service, and ask their help with geolocation.
