MIFI 3G has to be unplugged from power and plugged back in regularly

I have had my MIFI 3G version, for a few years now.  I really don't have any complaints with it and have had great internet experience for the entire service.  HOWEVER, I have noticed in the last 6 months (maybe more?) that I have had to unplug the power from the card and then plug back in, to reset it.  It loses connection or goes "stale" every other day or something close (I haven't kept track, but it's regularly).
Is this a setting? Or if too many devices try to connect at one time, could that "kill it" where it needs reset?  

Thanks for the confirmation Mike.  I figured as much but wanted to make sure there wasn't some setting I didn't know about.  
So the setting for "activation" is kinda the same as unplugging and plugging back in the power source?
I can appreciate this cycling need, but would be nice if there was another way for it to "wake" such as a device trying to access it, or etc.

PS - apparently I have another login and didn't know it.  This is Delacombo.

    yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have  any drivers
    its driving me round the bend at the minute

  • After trying to upgrade, Apple TV will no longer respond. Tried reset and unplug from power...no results

    After allowing Apple TV to upgrade, it never finished and became unresponsive. We have tried several reset methods including remote reset, unplug from power and even killing power to wifi and tv too but nothing has worked. Any other thoughts???

    Should have added: This used to work fine. All the time. Stopped exactly when ios 6 dropped.

    I unplug my MacBook Pro from power and external speaker and I hear  incremental beeps and sounds as if email being sent. Doesn't' stop until I close email.   Not sure what is happening our what if any emails are being sent.

    You can install Temperature Monitor and have a look if the CPU oder GPU oder something else went to hot. The processor has a built in safety mechanism to shut down the computer before taking damage.

  • When I unplug from power?

    When I unplug from power source my iPhone dies even though charge is at 100%. Why? This is the first time it has happened.

    Then it is likely the battery unless charger is faulty
    Have you tried a different charger and cable

    What model iPad do you have? If it's an iPad 1, the battery may have expired and needs replacement.

  • Why is my extreme losing power while plugged into the wall?  I have to unplug and plug back in.

    My extreme loses electric power while plugged in.  I have to unplug and plug back in.  This has happend 2 times in 1 week.

    It might help to clarify the conversation here, if we knew what version of the AirPort Extreme that you were using.
    Do you have the newer "tower" version of the AirPort, which uses a regular AC power cord......or......do you have a previous model that is "flat or square" shaped, that utilizes both an AC power cord and a separate, outboard power supply that plugs into the AirPort Extreme?
    Approximately, how old is the AirPort Extreme?  If you could look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme. then locate and post back with the model number of your AirPort, we'll know even more.  The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.

  • Droid Ultra has suddenly stopped charging from the wall plug-in

    My Droid Ultra has suddenly stopped charging from the wall plug-in. I've tried every charger in the house. I've tried to plug it into a wall charger at work in case there may be an issue with my outlets at home, but it won't charge from a wall plug-in from any location. However it will chage if I plug it into the computer or my portable battery charger. Any ideas why it won't charge from a wall plug-in and how I may fix it?

        Let's get your phone charged, chaseperil! You stated that you have tried every charger in your home. Have you tried the whole charger or just the cable? We want to make it is not the plug part of the charger. Are you using the charger that came in the box?

  • My G4 Mirror door fails to start up. Light comes on momentarily and you can hear it trying to start, but nothing happens. Unplug and plug back and try again eventually it will start.

    Last night, after being off, G4 failed to start. Light comes on momentarily, then goes out. Unplug and plug back in and try again until finally starts up.

    Hi Jim,
    Could be a few things, but first...
    Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

    Another common one is bad Capacitors in mostly the PSU, that need to bleed off charges before things work right.

  • Time Capsule used as router attached to Comcast Modem. wireless stops working. All I have to do is unplug the TC and plug it back in and TC cycles up and have green light as well as the Comcast modem operates correctly. TC 4 yrs old. How do I correct?

    Time Capsule used as router attached to Comcast Modem. Wireless stops working with no light showing and Link indicator on modem off.
    All I have to do is unplug the TC and plug it back in.
    TC cycles up and green light appears as well as the Comcast modem operates correctly.
    TC 4 yrs old. How do I correct?

    I have the latest and greatest Time Capsule and Comcast. Here is the weird thing. If I have one network set up, then occasionally that network will wedge. If I set up a 5GHz and a 2.4GHz network, then one of them (usually the 5GHz) will wedge. I saw this with a previous Time Capsule, Apple said call Comcast. They checked it out and said it was Apple's problem. Apple said maybe you Time Capsule is bad, so I bought a new one. The problem persists.
    Tonight it's not complely wedged, but super slow. The 5GHz network is getting 0.45Mb/s while the 2.4GHz network is getting 17Mb/s. Both are coming in from the same Comcast cable modem. Apparently the Time Capsule treats them as separate.
    Is it the cable modem or the Time Capsule. I am betting on the Time Capsule, since rebooting it fixes the problem. Resetting the cable modem does not.
    Apple is NO HELP at all. They say reset the Time Capsule. Did that fix it? Yes. Problem solved! No, problem not solved. It will happen again in a few hours.

  • I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s from USA and travel back to my counry but won't work in my country

    I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s from USA and travel back to my counry but won't work in my country

    Well, there is nothing anyone here can do for you. Did you actually purchase it at an Apple Store, or at another retailer like BestBuy, HH Gregg, a mall kiosk, T-Mobile, AT&T, etc?
    The ONLY source for unlocked iPhones in the US is Apple. If you purchased it anywhere other than at an Apple Store, you purchased a locked phone.
    You can call AppleCare and give them the serial number of the phone to confirm the status of the lock.

    (i bought iphone 5c 4-5 days back from india and today back button of this phone not working, i am totally dissatisfy with the apple service support. i want replacement.)
    Hello i am nitin from india, i purchased a iphone5c because i heard that iphone comes with a great coustmer service, but this statment becomes totally wrong today, when i faced coustmer executive at service center of iphone then he said that i have to check it out and it may be a physical damage, ( how it is possible even i carried this phone with anti shock cover guard and its never fall down from my hand.) the simple thing i know that i want my phone replaced, otherwise it would be a great mistake of my life to purchase an iphone.
