Your statement about the small screen is correct but understated.
Here is the setup system as I apply it.
Your phone starts the app (NewHub) for the device then using the app menu you select the ISP providing WiFi in the area. When you choose, you should be prompted for log in & password through the app for the device to connect to the ISP. Once it connects, it indicates with a check mark you have service via the ISP. The app allows you configure a WiFi name for the device to broadcast. I use XXX-2 & XXX-5 indicating 2.4Gb and 5Gb from the device. Mine only will use 2.4 Gb on the device to connect to the local ISP, but can broadcast both simultaneously for users. Typically 2.4Gb is longer range but slower than 5Gb. Up to 5 other devices can now connect to the device as a pass through WiFi service from the ISP. You can now even connect your phone to the app service.
Remember that EVERY device that tries to connect directly to the local ISP would need to also log in, and have paid credentials. This shares the one log in that the device connects with.
