Can you explain the exact issue . 

 

I.e. are you trying to connect to the dongle plugged in to a pc or are you plugging it in to the notebook usb ?

O2 WiFi is a hot spot that you can use in restaurants & cafes so you can only connect when you are in an o2 hotspot such as costa coffee or McDonald’s

Firstly you will only see an o2 wifi hotspot listed when you are in range of one. 

Your dongle will transmit it's own wifi hotspot which is usually the brand name of the dongle, followed by some numbers and letters etc. It is that hotspot you should select to be able to connect other devices to it. 

The password will be On the packaging label but you can change it to your own password in the dongle control panel. 

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
