Three different passwords? What are you talking about?
First, the Winegard ConnecT acts like a router or cable modem at home. You need a password to log in just like you router or cable modem at home so you can configure it.
Then any secure WiFi network will have its own password. You can setup WiFi without a password but then any in the campground will be able to tap into your Internet connection... and potentially hack you.
The password for your Verizon account is not used in the setup of the Winegard.
Once you have the Verizon SIM Card installed in the Winegard, you need to connect to it with a laptop or phone and it's WiFi. The first time you connect to it, you should use it to connect to your home WiFi first so you can go to the Software Update page and check for new updates. Some of the older Winegard units needed to update the firmware and the modem software to connect to Verizon.
Then after you have checked to make sure your software is up to date you need to got to go to the Change Provider page and enter the following:
Cellular Provider:
VERIZON
Cellular APN:
vzwinternet
You should also use the Scan for Networks option to make sure the unit is seeing a Verizon tower and the signal is above 50%.
