MiFi 4620L GPS over Wifi doesn't work

I have tried without success to get the GPS function to work on my Mifi 4260L. Their is no indicator on the device to say whether it is working or not. I have it turned on in the settings menu and I have installed the proper driver on my computer. The application I am trying to use can see the COM port listed but it does not receive any GPS data. Does anybody know how to fix this problem or what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Which application are you trying to use?
The manual mentions setting up an NMEA port where you post describes a COM port.  In the printing world a COM port is a USB physical port or oldschool Serial port.  These may not be the same thing which might explain why your app is not working. 
Lookup your installed ports (WinXP):
1. Navigate to Start > Run
2. Enter "cmd"
3. Click OK
4. Enter "netstat -a"
5. Scroll through the list and review all available ports
If your port is not mentioned above by the port number you selected from the Wi-Fi over GPS screen then it is not active and will not be useful for your apps.  From the manual it looks like the default port number is 10110.
I would check the support site for your application to see if it is compatible with NMEA.  They might have more steps for you on how to configure your app to utilize the GPS over WiFi feature of the MiFi.

  • Syncing with iTunes over wifi doesn't work

    My iTunes sometimes does not recognize my iPhone... but sometimes it does. When I click to sync it will start but it will get an error eventually like "Sync failed to start" or "Unknown error -50".
    I am not sure why iTunes will not sync. It used to work, but lately it hasn't been.
    I put a bunch of new music on iTunes yesterday from old CD's I had and when I went to sync it showed it did, but when I went to play my music on my iPhone all the songs were just grayed out so I couldn't click on them....
    so I used to USB cord and it synced fine...
    So can it not send that much data over wifi or something?
    I'm using iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop. I also have an iPad it won't sync with either.
    Thx.

I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • Since update extended wifi doesn't work

    I updated my express extreme as required. Since my airport express that I use to extend my wifi doesn't work anymore. I did a reset and when I try to configuration it keeps telling me that an error has occurred and that I should try again.

    I reset modem and router.  Still have the same issue.  I have a laptop connected to the network as well as a PS3.  Both are working great.  Did a Speedtest app test on iphone.  With 3g it was working good.  When i switched to wifi, it was trying to get the ping test accomplished, and could not.  it was stuck in the ping test at 0% for a long time and never progress.

    Κανε backup στο iTunes και μετά κάνε restore as new. Δηλαδή Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Content and Settings. Οταν τελειώσει θα έχουν σβηστεί όλα. Μην κανεις restore from backup. Δοκίμασε πρώτα νε δεις αν δουλεύει το wi-fi. Αν δεν δουλεύει πας στο service. Αν δουλεύει κάνε restore from backup. Αν το πρόβλημα ξαναεμφανιστεί τότε πρέπει να ξανακανεις restore as new και να το στησεις απο την αρχή. Αν δεν εμφανιστεί έχεις καθαρίσει. Μην ξεχάσεις να συγχρονίζεις επαφές και ημερολόγια πριν το restore.

  • M3800 Developer Edition: wifi doesn't work after sleep

    I have an M3800 Developer Edition (2015 model). Ubuntu is factory-installed 14.04, with hardware enablement stack installed. Recently (past 1-2 weeks) wifi doesn't work after sleep (lid closed or open doesn't matter), and only rebooting gets in back. Tried rmmod and modprobe with no success. Has anyone else seen this, and/or are you aware of any open bug(s) for this?
    Relevant ouput:
    lsmod when problem exists:

    rmmod the above, then modprobe iwlwifi. Does not fix problem, only rebooting does:

  • Why the wifi doesn't work after the upgrade to iOS 5?

    The problem is that after the upgrade to iOS 5 the wifi doesn't work. I mean, iPad is connected to the wifi but not to the internet and also the connection on the other device doesn't work. So I had to turn off the router and then turn it on.

    Try a hard reset first to see if that does any good.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If no luck with that, you'll need to manually connect your iPod to your iTUnes library in recovery mode using the instructions in the Apple support document below. Doing so will allow you to bypass the passcode and restore the iPod.

  • WiFi doesn't work after repair

    Hi,
    Today I received my iMac 27" back from repair. It had the screen and the optical drive replaced since both were defect.
    According to the papers, nothing else has been replaced, but WiFi doesn't work now. I can't connect to my own network (Time Capsule), and only very few networks show up in the list -- quite often, mine is not there, and sometimes there are none at all. Checking with a laptop right next to the iMac, I can see plenty of networks (and my own network works fine).
    Could the Apple guys accidentally have screwed up something? I thought about looking at the antenna connectors on the AirPort card (a guide is available on iFixIt), but it seems quite complicated (and I don't have the necessary screwdrivers).
    Thanks,
    Michael

    And if it under warranty you do not want to open it up and void your warranty.
    When the authorized tech installed new memory modules in my 09 Mac mini, he shorted out my wireless card and they had to order a new one and install it. I would take it back and have them figure out what is wrong.

  • WIFI doesn't work on startup

    When I turn on my dad's iMac (Mid July 2010, iMac) the WIFI doesn't work. When I click the WIFI icon on the menu bar is says somthing to the effect of you don't have WIFI installed.  When I restart it works. this happens every time.
    What do you think is wrong? do I need to take the iMac in to an Apple store?

    Hi,
    First, my wlan card was unknown by w7 (unknown device and I had install all the others drviers). So, because I don't know what card was in the L630, I downloaded the Atheros and the Broadcom wlan drivers.
    When I refresh in the device manager, I tell w7 to automatically find the driver (in drivers folder and in its subdirectory).
    w7 find a Broadcom card, install the driver (with the error message : file not found without any name of file) and shows in the network section of the device manager a Broadcom 802.11n card, but didn't shows the model (I think its a 43xx). Thre isn't any other unknown device in the device manager, all seems right.
    I also try to install it with the Grand Administrator account : same result !!!!!!!!!
    I have try with the Atheros drivers (just in case) but w7 tells me that there isn't any drivers found for my card (so I think its a broadcom)
    When I press Fn + F8 key nothing happens (the led of the wifi stay orange) and the hotkey bar doesn't drop down.
    Thats why I wish to rinstall the hotkey utility, but It doesn't exist for other OS than XP....
    I try to install it (the XP hotkey utility) but its make an error : common module not found
    I try to install common module then the hotkey utility, but I get the same error : common module not found
    I'm agree with you xver, install a fresh w7 64 bits then all the drivers shoud not be such problematic, I do this fort one Tecra A7 and One Aspire One 751, they works perfectly, but they where all of them under XP ......
    Next step :
    I must confirm (to my self too) if the F8 key work properly (by trying to start w7 into safe mode),
    remove any trace of the common module and the hotkey utility from the registry,
    remove the broadcom and atheros wlan driver and delette any trace in the registry,
    go in a church and light a candle for miracle ?

  • Wifi doesn't work with IOS 7

    Hi, I installed on my iphone IOS 7 but now wifi doesn't work. It doesn't find any wifi connections around me. Please help me! What can I do?

    My wifi had no problem connecting to our home wifi prior to the IOS 7 update, but since updating this morning it's not working.  My phone will try to connect to wifi, but then I get the "Unable to join the network" message.  I tried resetting network settings, but that did not solve it.  I tried @bam11's suggestion of being in airplane mode first, but still no luck.  I've had my phone open to the Wi-Fi page, and saw it connect a couple times for the slightest second, but it disconnected just as fast.  My son as the exact same phone (4s) and he's connecting just fine!  Any other suggestions?  I'm afraid to hard reset my phone.
