Using Pantech 4G LTE USB Modem with Chromebook

Got a Chromebook for Christmas, but I don't have wi-fi at home. I do have the UML290 modem for my windows laptop.
Can I install VRZ manager on Chromebook, and use the USB modem on it to connect to the internet?
TIA
Rick

No! Chromebook uses Android OS, you will a CradlePoint MBR95 or Pepwave Surf on The Go Router to insert the UML290 and then you can use the built in wifi in the Chromebook to connect to the router and get internet access.
You can get the gear at 3gstore
Here is some Reviews on the MBR95 works like a champ

I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live were we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need.

I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.

Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

Setting up my 4G LTE USB Modem, when attemping to connect recieving error VZW_NETWORK_ERROR_LTE_CO_OTHER? Can anyone explain how to correct setup.

I just purchase a 4G LTE USB modem to use with my laptop but having issue with the connecting being made. This is the error I am receiving. Can someone explain the process correctly.

Let us know which specific USB model you have.
Normally when someone receives a USB modem error there are only a few places to look for solutions. First would be a reinstall of the connection software. Always go out to VZW and check to see if there is a newer version when you have problems. Even if there isn't a reinstall can clear up many temporary problems with these devices.
Your error mentions something about connecting to LTE. Perhaps there is an issue with the authentication of your device. It might be a good idea to contact VZW to make sure you are properly registered. You also might want to try connecting in a different location incase there is something wrong with your current environment. Connecting to a different tower or in a different location may be able to work around the problem.

I had to purchase a 4G LTE USB Modem due to a very slow 3G IPhone 4 Connection!

Sorry if I am unable to reply to any of the existing posts, or reply to any replies that get posted here, but I just wanted to let Verizon's Apple IPhone 4 Support team and Community Members know that the reason that I am now mostly using my new Novatel Wireless 551L 4G LTE USB Modem to surf the Internet instead of my Apple IPhone 4 is that I am getting very slow 3G Speeds fom my Apple IPhone 4 all of a sudden, and it is NOT even a year old yet. Anyone who needs to use the Internet on their Cell Phones should know, this IPhone is not for you!

Hello Verizon, just checked back in today to see what going on and I can tell you that my 551L connects just fine at 4G LTE on Windows, still NOT functioning on my Mac OS X, but very happy with my 551L, also very happy with my IPhone 4S, have had some problems with Data Overages due to the fact that my Parents aren't letting me use their Comcast Connection (I live with my Parent's due to living on Social Security and being a Medicare/Medicaid Dual Eligable), other than that I have been fine. I was more than a little annoyed about two months ago when you guys disconected my service but I am over that now, I will however switch to either Sprint or Virgin Moble if it happens again, just to let you guys know that I was NOT very happy with being Disconnected, expecially since I am Low Income and I did NOT have the kind of Money that you were asking for at the time. Just FYI.

Hi,
Listed below is the step by step intructions to configure the Nokia device as a modem to a mac.
Steps:
Connecting your Mac to the internet is convenient and easy with your a compatible Nokia S60 device. You'll need a Nokia S60 device that supports a 2G or 3G data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA), a compatible Mac (with the latest OS X), a USB cable for your Nokia device or a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider.
To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
In Settings select and open Connection >Select and open Packet data > Select and open Access point >Type in your operator's Access Point Name
Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your Mac!
Bluetooth Connection: Pairing between Mac and Device using bluetooth, follow the instruction from here: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-as-a-modem/connect-to-your...
Note: Preferred mode is USB as it much faster than Bluetooth.
Connect the device and then go to System preferences- >Network- >Select Device (Nokia XXX)
Click on Advanced Tab > Modem tab
- Vendor : Nokia
-Model:GPRS (GSM/3G)
-Telephone Number: *99***1# (contact your operator to get this settings)
-APN: airtelgprs.com (contact your operator to get this settings)
CID: 1
Once connected it will be highlighted in green.
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers
Sandy

Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

If you have a 3G iPad, it can connect to the internet using cellular data. As the iPad has no USB port, you can't connect a USB modem. You can use what is called a MiFi, though. They connect to cellular service and create a personal WiFi hotspot.

Can I use the lightning to USB cord with any USB/AC adapter?

Yes I just check and the one for my MacBook fits my 12 Watt iPad charger.

Apple USB modem with broadband?

Im thinking of buying the apple USB modem.. however i have broadband. not dialup.
could i connect to the internet with the USB modem with a broadband connection?
Thanks if anyone can help

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Apple's USB modem is strictly for a dialup connection, not broadband.
If you need to connect to broadband, you'll need either the internet service provider to give you an ethernet modem, or a WiFi capable modem to hook up your Mac to. Macs will hook up to either kind of broadband connection. USB broadband modems are harder to connect to and often require an extra firmware update, and can be subject to speed restrictions of other items sharing your USB bus.

Any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

Not too common with G4 PowerBooks as they have an internal modem. I can't find Apple's sepcs but a third-party ad shows it minimally needs 10.4.3 or higher and a G-series processor. That should work.
However, the Apple version is expensive used. I googled Apple MA034 external modem and found an Amazon page that showed other compatible modems that were much cheaper.

Using USB modem with a macbook

I use a vodafone usb modem to connect to the internet , and i am currently trying to download a torrent using Azureus , but my download speed has never been higher than 10kB/s.
Does any one know how to configure a usb modem to Azureus so the speed can improve. Or does anyone know another software which works better with usb modems ... help.

My speeds are related to signal strength just like my phone coverage which is relatively the same thing because the usb modem is a phone of sorts. In urban areas, the strength is much stronger than in rural areas but for the most part, I am very happy with Verizon. I've found that the device is not as important as the provider and the quality of their network.
To me, the ability to use my machine anywhere I choose is appealing regardless of the speed.

4g USB modem with Android (wifi only, ICS) tablet?

Will the VZW UML290 4g USB modem work with an Android tablet (obviously without a built-in 4g radio, only wifi)? There is no VZ Access Manager software for Android, would an Android networking app do the trick?

Hi, I have the same question because I want to buy a Transformer Prime. <Content deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service>
The best that I could find is that you'll do just fine with a MiFi hotspot device and the appropriate Verizon account. Reviews seem to favor the 4510 L over the Samsung MiFi device. If you have an account for the Pantech now, you can upgrade your contract to the MiFi. All of your computers, Android, Mac and Windows will work on the MiFi hotspot because there is no software needed to connect.
Alternatively, you can check out Cradlepoint wireless routers. They offer a boatload of portable WiFi routers that can tether to any number of mobile devices including the Pantech UML290. For the Pantech, you plug it into the Cradlepoint router's USB port and create your own portable hotspot LEGALLY with your Verizon Pantech account. You then connect your Transformer wirelessly to this hotspot bypassing the need to use the VZW interface that is not yet, and may never be, Android compatible.
As for your original post regarding an Android app for the Pantech UML290, I'm certain some 'enterprising' droid devotee is working on it, However, I've not yet found anything on the web yet that provides a viable work around except for the completely legit MiFi from Verizon or a Cradlepoint wireless router.
NB to Verizon support. You should have provided the MiFi information, it's your product for pete's sake.
Good luck!

Using Pre Plus as a modem with laptop

Can I use the Palm Pre Plus as a modem tethered to my laptop with VZ Access Manager software from Verizon. I used this method before with my Blackberry Pearl ($15/mo). I don't want to pay $40/mo to Verizon to use WiFi (Mobile hotspot) feature on Palm Pre Plus.
Thanks

Hi
Can someone help me understand this product please? I've been a BB user till now but want to switch over to the PPP:
1. Can it be tethered to the laptop as a modem AND work as a phone at the SAME time?
2. What are the high speed connectivity - do they compare with a broadband at home or the 3G USB modems/sticks one uses on the laptop? If so, are there any limits to the data usage?
3. I am paying 60 dollars a month for the USB modem AND 70 dollars a month for the unlimited WW data capability on my BB. It appears with the PPP I can get both the things done in the 29 dollar plan for US? Or maybe the 70 dollar plan for unlimited WW usage that can be used on my laptop too with high speeds? AM I correct or reading too much into it here? I am with Verizon currently. Does anyone else offer anything better that takes care of both the things - high speed internet access on my laptop AND a US/Canadian voice plan (I have it currently for USD 99.95/Mo - 1350 minutes)
4. Is the PPP constantly connected to the internet like the BB is for instantaneous emails? And are there any limits to the enterprise activation as they are on the BB of one only?
5. Any better alternatives here from Palm?
Many thanks folks!

Orange USB Modem with "Mobile Partner" connects but won't load pages

All,
I talked Orange Telecom into giving me a free trial with one of their USB modems. I plugged the modem into my MB Pro, installed the "Mobile Partner" software and configured the connection settings as specified by the Tech. I am able to connect fine using the device, however, it will not allow me to receive data, so I am unable to load web pages. The connection says that I am sending data, but not receiving anything. Any ideas on what I need to do in order to successfully receive data?
Current Settings are as follows:
Connection: Orange
APN: orange.ug
Phone Number: *99#
user: orange
password: orange
with these settings I am able to connect fine, but no data is received. I am guessing this has something to do with a setting in Network Preferences, but I can't figure out why it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Sig - thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I was sitting with the Tech rep when we configured the settings, so we are both sure the phone number was right. Additionally, I am connecting and I can see that information is being "sent," however the problem is that no information is being "received" so I am unable to load web pages, etc.
It must be some sort of problem with the network settings in Mac OS because there does not appear to be any problem connecting to the service, the problem has been receiving information. Any other suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JB

HUAWEI USB modem with AEBS Networking

Hi All,
I have just got myself a HUAWEI USB modem from 3 Network here in Australia and was hoping to hook it up with my home network (iMac G4, Airport Extreme & AppleTV) as I can’t get ADSL in my area.
I have the iMac G4 connected to the AEBS via ethernet but I’m not sure how to hook up the modem. From what I have read the USB plug on the AEBS hasn’t the drivers for the HUAWE USB modem so the modem is connected to the iMac but this wont share internet connection to the AppleTV.
Has anyone run into this problem and has got a solution?
I plan to buy a new iMac and Time Capsule this year but feel I may still run into the same problems.
Thanks in advance.

I can see this working as follows;
1. Plug the HUAWEI USB modem into your iMac G4
2. Configure internet sharing on the iMac to share the USB Modem connection via the Ethernet port of your iMac (see the following support article for details http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8156.html)
3. Run a cable from your iMac to the WAN port of your Airport Extreme
4. Test the internet connection on the AppleTV, if everything is configured properly you should be able to access the internet.
The only caveat here is that you need to have the internet connection up and running for any device on your network to access the internet. If for whatever reason an internet connection is not available (and with a 3G USB modem is does happen as I've found out here in the UK with T-Mobile's USB modem) any application will eventually timeout and give you an "Internet not connected" error.
My experience of 3G Broadband, while on the whole has been very positive, has seen a good 3G internet connection disappear or dramatically slow down on occasions where the only remedy has been to disconnect and re-connect the connection.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Jason
