Try connecting to it again. I've heard of many cases where someone placed the device near a window and it worked. One person even stuck their device in the attic. Solid Green - The device is powered on and fully charged but is not sending or receiving data. Replace the battery cover. Why won't My Verizon hotspot connect?
Re: Mobile Hotspot won't Connect First try a soft reset on the device. Press and hold the power button. Touch Power. Touch Restart. Does MiFi use data?
It uses cell data to create a local WiFi for you. Will MiFi work anywhere? The most sought-after mifi hotspot for travelers It is rental pocket-size Wi-Fi device that can be used anytime, anywhere, even in the most remote locations. You can access the internet globally and share the access with your friends. Is MiFi better than WiFi? A MiFi device can be connected to a cellular network and provide internet access for up to ten devices. How much does a suit cost at Men's Wearhouse?
What is the difference between a textual sermon and an expository sermon? Co-authors You will now upload the file which you just modified. Once you have uploaded the new configuration file to your MiFi, you are done. If you are not comfortable modifying the configuration file or modifying the configuration file does not work there is still something you can do.
Simply purchase a charge only USB cable. Such a cable does not have the data pins necessary to transmit data but will still charge your device. Fix Your Stuff Community Store. Novatel MiFi Troubleshooting. Edit Options History. It may take a few seconds for the computer to recognize the device.
I changed my interface logon password and have forgotten the password. You will need to reset the device. My MiFi is warm to the touch. In areas of low 3G coverage the radio transmit power will be at the max and the MiFi will give off more heat.
The firmware upgrades may have overwrote the Wi-Fi configuration information on the device with the updated device defaults. Also, did it happen after a firmware update?
The news today is that Verizon is going to be selling the iPad. The idea that it needs to be coupled with a Mi-Fi. So I coupled it with the MiFi device…seemingly a great solution for my needs. I learned quickly that the MiFi will not maintain the connection for longer than days without physically reseting the power button which requires my physical presence…hence defeating the purpose!
Verizon tech support rep said they reset the connection once per day but it may not come back automatically. Pretty poor first impression!!
Glenn: Are you using the MiFi all by itself or is it plugged into a computer at the mountain home? Maybe that could be a solution? Had it for a year and I thought there was a fix. Am I hearing there is no fix? Maybe this is a hardware issue? What does Verizon say? It also will not reconnect for a long time.
To bad it is over priced and slow. In the past few weeks I have been disconnected every seconds. I have called several times and have a ticket open.
Please help us Google :. Same problem here. Works fine when tethered, constant disconnects when using MiFi. Need to decide whether to suffer with crappy service until contract over or bite the bullet, pay ETF. Thanks for nothing Verizon! I have had this problem and am on my 4th device, some of the tech people believing the others were defective. Recently, I have been advised that there is a dormancy period programmed into the MiFi.
It will disconnect from the internet when its period is up, and you will have to manually power it down and then up to get back on. In other words, if you are not using the internet for an undisclosed period of time, it disconnects. I was given an email address for Novatel and was told to ask them how long a dormancy period is programmed into the device.
There is no answer here from what I can tell. There is firmware version available. Have you guys tried that? My WiFi connection from my laptop disconnects itself sometimes. Very annoying. In fact the behavior is similar to what you guys are describing with MiFi.
This is connecting to my home WiFi router and not MiFi. I would at least try and upgrade firmware to firmware This problem has been fixed! Thanks to Adam for helping with the fix. Disconnect is not my issue. If we move the Wifi close enough to one computer to receive full WiFi signal, then the other two register zero WiFi signal. Verizon techs are clueless — to the extent that one told me to go to their website for support materials without access to the internet.
Last I was told was I would have to e-mail Novatel with my issue — way to pass the buck. BTW, I have the 7. Interestingly the second-to-last Verizon tech I spoke to told me that they have Broadband hi-speed and National Access original, slow available and all of their equipment is backwards compatible.
It was her opinion that for some reason the MiFi is no receiving the Broadband signal, but rather the slower, less powerful signal — an issue with their service from their end. Then the last tech I talked to passed the buck to Novatel — and I have to contact them. Makes me wonder. My MiFi worked perfectly for over a year, the three days ago started constantly reconnecting. I upgraded to 7. No luck. While tethered it works perfectly, but once I goto Wifi mode instantly reconnects every 45 seconds.
I have also been having the disconnect problem. I cannot reconnect at my laptop. I have to reset the mifi card every time. I called Verizon and they told me that my laptop dial up program was the problem. Does anyone beleive this and how to fix it? Mifi works fine with laptop but continuously disconnects from ITouch. Connects fine at first, as soon as I open APP e. Urban Spoon etc. SOOO annoying. Anybody else have this problem? I thought it would be an upgrade. I live in a rural area with no other choices.
Support has been terrible on this issue, passing me from one person to the next. Being put on hold for nearly an hour is ridiculous too! You do not need to use Verizon Manager when in wireless mode as your computer will recognize the MiFi as a network, no different than if you were at a coffee house, jumping onto their network. Note: the MiFi will not work if your computer is 64 Bit.
You must rebook your computer to 32 Bit. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Verizon has not addressed this actually why the maker has not addressed this. This is my 2nd MiFi, the 1st died within 7 months. I did a speed test on my MiFi and got a very dissapointing. So, I think something is up with the network. Just read your post. In my initial dealings with Verizon, it was a general rep who tried to address my issues, using some steps in a manual. She finally passed me onto Tech Support.
As for your signal strength, I too am suffering that. Update on my end. I just had my MiFi replaced as the 1st one died. Mind you, this is the replacement Verizon just sent me.
My firmware was 7. The newest firmware is 7. So, obviously, the firmware on my new MiFi is out of date. The download page is. If you update the firmware, follow the steps.
Yet, that said, download the new version first and save. Then uninstall the older version. Well, it worked out okay. If your a Mac user you can definitely upgrade to the newer version 7. Thanks for your blog post here. Just went searching for a fix to this issue that I have suddenly begun experiencing for the last couple of weeks with my Verizon MiFi. I had never upgraded the software or firmware since purchase a year ago Jan I had Verizon Access Manager version 7.
So I hope it fixes the issue! Will report back with a status shortly. Well, reporting back. No real changed after firmware upgrade.
I do think it is better, but still several disconnects all the time. In looking at the usage at myverizon. Does everyone else see this same issue? Several per day. I need to talk to Verizon support and show them this billing data as proof of the disconnects. It at times seems like too much network activity actually prompts it to disconnect, such as opening too many links in my browser at the same time.
I just got the MiFi. I wish I had found this site before. It has been 2 months and it has been nothing but trouble. The Tech advice is always different. Use it WiFi no tether it. I am now stuck unless I pay for an early cancellation fee. I have always loved Verizon. Not anymore. I got the new 4G LTE and its doing exactly what everyone is saying here. Any new news on these issues? I would call more often but am to upset. The only thing I can use with it is my IPad, no problem with it.
They asked me over the phone where I get these poor and fair info. I tell them that I left click my bars on the desk top. You see , it has taken me 2 months to be able to get onto verizon.
They suspended me for 3 days they say 1 , and they wont tell me why. So I hope this site verizon , will fix my problem. Who wants terrible stuff written about them?
I called verizon support and found the solution for my problem. All I needed to do was remove the SIM card, wait 10 seconds, then put it back in.
After that, it never drops again.
