Note: Watcher is currently not available over a WAP network. You
can use Watcher over Ethernet or USB to enable the WAP interface,
but when the modem is using a WAP connection, Watcher is available
over Ethernet only.
If you want to use Watcher to configure the SSID and security
settings, connect the modem to the laptop via an Ethernet cable.
Once the MP modem is configured, you can remove the Ethernet
cable.
