Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L.  No success.  I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all.  I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
Anyway,  I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc).  I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications.  I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent.  This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times. 
I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network.  I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput.  The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update?  I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
What gives?
I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L.  When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer.   Not good business!!!

The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back.  I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area.  Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps. 
There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet.  The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device.

    I am using TM Unifi with an ASUS RT-N18U Wi-Fi router.  I would like to know could I use Apple AirPort Time Capsule to extend (repeater, booster) my Wi-Fi to a part of the house where the Wi-Fi signal is poor
    Yes,, if you plan to connect the AirPort Time Capsule to the ASUS router using an Ethernet cable connection that will remain fixed and permanently installed at all times.
    No, if you were planning to have the AirPort Time Capsule connect wirelessly and extend the Asus WiFi signal, since it would not be compatible with another manufacturer's router for that purpose.
    Another way of saying the same thing here would be that if you want to extend the network wirelessly, it will take two Apple routers to do so

  • I set up a new user on my network today and am now in a location without access to that network. I just set her up as a user on her macbook but I can't log in with her credentials. Is that because I am not on the network and it is the initial setup?

  • How to make the dblink and what is the use of this

    plz any body tell me "how to make the dblink and what is the use of this"

    Do you understand how to make the Slider work using code to read its value?  You will need to look into that in order to do this.
    What you can do is have the yello rectangle be a movieclip that sits over the red rectangle and use the Slider to control the yellow rectangle's alpha property from 0 to 1.  That way the yellow will gradually fade as you slide.
    What you will then need  to do is figure out how to make the number of dots that appear reduce from 15 to 8 over the same range of the slider.  You need to use the fractional value from the slider to decide how many dots either appear or do not appear.
    You should not start new postings for the same topics that you arlready have postings for.  Doing so in the future might result in them being removed.

  • My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger. I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the solutions?

    My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger (power supply). I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. I backed up my phone. I restored it several times. Even I re-installed iphone software. Also I restored it as a new iphone but doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the availble solutions?

    We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone.  But Apple can.  Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

    It's a problem that Apple is having with their App updating system.  The best solution is to be patient, and wait for Apple to solve their systemic problem.

  • What is a good defragmenting software for the mac, and what is the price ranges if there are mutiple ones?

    I have had my mac for about a 1 year 5 months, coming onto 6 months. And I want to keep it running in top shape, or as close as it can get. I Am just wondering what is are good softwares for defragmenting a Macbook and what are the price ranges, and what are the recommendations. Which would you rate from best to worst in other words.

    First Mac OS X doesn't need defragged. If your harddrive is ~80% full heavy downloading could hurt disk performance but I'd say you're in the clear. If Apple considered defragging a necessity they would have included it into Disk Utility.

    I would suggest backing up your iphone before doing anything. You can do that by right-clicking on the name of your iphone from the source list on the left side of itunes.

  • What Are The Pro And Cons About The Air

    Can you please answer me because i want to get the best for my money
    The Laptop in question is the 13'' thanks!
    PLEASE ANSWER xx

    Look there is No Best. Simple fact is, throughout your life, you will spend your money on things and they will either work or not. And you can be assured that at some point whatever you buy and whatever amount of money you spend on it, a lot or a little, eventually it will fail. Just like all people die, they fail eventually.
    So stop worrying about it, go down to a store, Look over what they offer, take notes, go home and search the internet for problems, then go back and buy what seems to fit you the best.
    Or be like me. I see something I like, I look at the price, if I can afford it I Buy IT.

  • Does Revel have a backup retention for deleted files in the cloud and what is the encryption level it uses both end-to-end and locally?

    I'm interested in the premium version of this service however I'd like to know if:
    1. Revel has any kind of cloud backup feature for accidentally deleted files.
    2. What encryption strength does it use for it's end-to-end transfers and also for the local app and cloud storage
    3. Does it have 2 stage authentication?
    I ask because I need something picture friendly but is also HIPAA and SEC compliant.
    thanks!

    Hi nick2048,
    We take security and privacy very seriously and send all communication over encrypted channels.
    However, as a consumer photo site that supports user sharing, it is not our goal to achieve HIPAA certification
    Hope this helps!

  • What is the purpose and benefit of a firmware update?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Being able to provide a firmware update to a product is very beneficial. It allows the opportunity to enhance the functionality and operational features of a product, and can also provide service fixes for particular issues.
    With the ever-changing advances in technology, updating firmware to gain additional features and capabilities helps prevent a product from becoming obsolete and maintain its competitive value. As new products are released on the market with improved features, firmware updates for existing products may potentially offer the same improved features. Therefore, it may not always be necessary to purchase a new product just to stay up-to-date with current technology.
    As mentioned earlier, firmware updates may sometimes also provide service fixes. Updating the firmware yourself may eliminate the need to bring a product into a service center for an expensive repair. Although not every repair issue can be resolved with a firmware update, if one is available for a particular issue, it can save a lot of time and money.

  • Reserve Invoice, reserve items and what about the batch's?

    Hi Guys, i have a problem that i can't solve in 2005A, we know that we can't make Reserve Invoices at this version (no object), i haven't found the way to make obligatory the batch id selection in the lines of this document at standard way, but the reserve invoice compromises the existence of the items, how do they do it in items that manages batch's?
    I don't know if we manage batch here different that another countries, we understand batch as a package for example, we sell from that package until it's over and comes the new package, then our problem is we make a reserve invoice and it "compromises" the existence of the items but not their batch's? if comes another person and but from the same package, when they'll make the delivery 15 days later, they see that the batch is over,
    I don't know if i wrote this well, sorry about my english, hope somebody can help us with this, because we really need to reserve the batch as well too but we haven't found the way,
    Please, everyone can write anything to help us, a better solution, a best practice, because i haven't found sometingh published in this forum, don't know if i have to write to somebody in sap so they can help us,
    Thank you all,

    Hi Gabriel,
    It sounds like you need hard allocation so you can allocate specific items to a customer. Hard allocation can't be done in standard SBO so you'd need to find an addon that provides this functionality (or write your own addon).
    You could try asking your question on the application forum here:
    SAP Business One Application
    They should be able to suggest an appropriate addon that fits your needs. If you are a SAP Partner then you could also search on the P2P site for addons.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • Search options bug in 1.2.1.32 (and what about the Help?)

    Hi,
    this is a little bug I experience both in 1.2.1.32.00 and 1.2.1.32.13.
    I don't know exactly what triggers it, so I can only describe the symptoms, hoping someone will be able to reproduce somehow.
    1) Edit a package
    2) Try searching: you can access the option box normally
    3) After a bit of editing, the option box refuses to appear: if you click on the binocular icon (or press Alt-Down) you only get a blank option box for a fraction of a second
    The only way I have found to get it back is clicking the con and pressing Return simultaneously.
    Also, in build 1.2.1.32.13 the Help menu doesn't work, except the About option.
    Regards.

    Hi Sue.
    The above described problem seems to be fixed in 1.5 (haven't experienced it since the EA days, AFAIR).
    A very minor glitch you might want to check (not worth a new thread, I think) is in the Help Search: try searching for any keyword and you'll see that in the Results window each topic description starts with null.
    Regards.
