It runs very very warm but I suspect having it on the charger and using it almost all day is part of that. Verizon very helpful on that - call us if its still an issue in a "few weeks"! However, when I inquired about the antenna's effect on a 4G signal, an intelligent tech was able to tell me that it was not the tower I would be getting a 4G signal off of - odd but I didn't question that possibility. I was "forced" into it because due to antenna issues on a local tower that supplies my 3G signal my 2200 wasn't even able to load my gmail account. It is my only internet service due to my semiremote location (no cable etc) and when I first got it as a replacement for my dependable 2200 I was about to pull all my hair out. This is incredibly useful if you’re right at the cutoff for 4G LTE SINR" (that's WWAN Preferred Mode LTE only for me)Ĥ) I also changed my 802.11 Mode to just one mode that works on both computers at my houseĥ) I am also careful to turn it off when I am done with it and take it off the charger for the night as well. I did try a couple before one - or the myriad of other things I tried - seemed to make a difference - at least for now - fingers crossed)ģ) "allowing for one to select between each network mode manually, so you can force 4G LTE, EVDO, 1xRTT, or all of the above. (I'm not sure if it actually worked as the diagnostics always shows channel 0 no matter what I picked. I was having problems but upgrading to 2.28 seems to have helped me in addition to a few other changes I made based on this review of the 4510LĢ) "manually selecting a channel (instead of Auto) fixes almost all the instability problems" Provide us the location site you are using for more information.
If you really want to know where you are in the world then you need to use GPS software and hardware, which the MiFi does not have. Its not uncommon for me to appear to be close to SD or ND when I am in the middle of MN. Sites like go off the location of the modem's IP Address and not your actual location. In regards to your location, do not be fooled by what is displayed on whatever website you are using.
Should a site survey come back positive the last line of defence is to update the firmware or request hardware replacement through Verizon. When resets do not correct the problem then a site survey should be done to confirm that there is not a service problem in your area. I'll share the highest level resets below incase you haven't already tried them. Performance issues are normally resolved by running through the various levels of resets. Could the Mifi be trying to connect to a signal in that location for some reason (was refurbished device) Could the unit itself be defective? Also, I've noticed when I go to a location website it thinks I am in Pennsylvania when I am in Virginia. I have been through the recommended resets and nothing seems to improve the connection speed.
Verizon advertises full service both around our city (Richmond, VA) and at my more remote location in Hanover. I have yet to see the 4G light come on except for prior to activation (would light solid green at times) since activating I have only seen the violet light for 3G. I drove into town and see the same range (1 to 3 bars). I normally have 1 or 2 bars on the mifi unit and have seen up to 3 at times. 17 MBPS at times it was so slow the test was not completing.
Via test on I'm seeing download speed of. I am having very slow connection with the 4510L we just got. I'm hoping someone here can give some guidance.
