Using the Verizon Jetpack

We moved out into the rural areas a few months ago and had to use dial up. I was a gamer using unlimited broadband, so this was a bit of a problem. I understand that I can use a jetpack and use a wireless signal; it's not much, but it will suffice for my gaming as long as I can manage my data.
My problem is I've never used wireless before and am unsure on how to connect it to a desktop. Do I need a wireless adaptor or a router to use this on a desktop? I'm considering 2 pc's that I wish to buy right now as I need an upgrade.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/iBuyPower+-+Desktop+-+16GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/6979896.p?id=12188184...
Would either of those be compatible with the jetpack?
Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this is the wrong section.

Hello Heath76, you pose an excellent question! Yes, if the Jetpack is used as an access point for any of the devices listed it will incur data usage.

I'm using my Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MHS291L to wirelessly connect my printer to my desktop and tablet will the printer use my monthly data to print/recieve info from my computer/tablet

I know a normal wireless router would allow me to connect my printer to my desktop and tablet but will using my Verizon Jetpack® 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MHS291L as a access point incur data usage each month?

So the wifi iPad is what he's got and he's moving to japan in a month. Are we clear on that point? But when we get to the second sentence, "Can I use the verizon version of the ipad in Japan network? That's where I'm assuming he's not gotten the Verizon ipad YET. And that is how getting an AT&T iPad is going to solve his problem. Tx.
The Verizon iPad has wifi.
I'm assuming he has a Verizon iPad (why else ask about Verizon?) and the OP simply did not specify "I just got an iPad 2 16GB, Verizon version".

CP1525nw wifi setup using a verizon jetpack

Hi, We wanted to share our story since google has this forum listed as the top results for the problem we had, but we couldn't find an answer in the forums. We solved it finally on our own as I was writing this post.
We have been trying to hookup the CP1525nw printer to our verizon jetpack (the only internet provider we can get at our house) so that we can print using wifi with our ipad, we changed the ink and for some reason lost our ability to print.
It appeared that the only way to choose the ssid and input the password is by hooking up the printer via an ethernet cable to a network and going to the printer's webserver page.
Are there other ways? We are on a mac (and have windows as well) . Tried the HP toolkit and it appears that it only gives status.
I know there is another post in this forum, but I couldnt tell who the moderators were responding to in their directions, so it appeared confusing.
------SOLVED-----
We solved this problem by redownloading the setup utitlity and going through the setup via a usb cable. That setup utilitiy will scan for networks and let you put in your new password.
best of luck out there

Hello rnbarg,
You can simply connect your printer to the router by running the wireless setup wizard from the setup menu in the front panel of the printer. Be sure to enable ePrint from the front panel of the printer once you are connected.
The iPad, iPhone, or iPod needs to be on the network and it should be able to see the networked printer. That's it! You should be ready to print.
A few things you need to be sure of is that you need to have a router with bonjour, multicast, or MDNS on it and your iOS must be 4.2 or later on the device.
You can use this link if you have any issues getting it set up. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
If I have resolved your issue, feel free to provide Kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided.

Can I use a Verizon Jetpack 890L as Wifi for Airplay?

I am buying an iPad with Retina Display, and Best Buy is having a special that if you buy a Jetpack 890L with the iPad, you save $100 off the ipad (really on $30 because of the price of the Jetpack). So I want to know if I can Airplay from my iPad, Macbook Pro, or iMac to my Apple TV with the Jetpack. Thanks.

This works for me!
I just bought a Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack, and after connetcing my airport express and my laptop to the Jetpack, I am able to use use the internet and airplay music streaming.
I was certain that this would not work. But it does. Whodathunk?

How do I use the Verizon Service & Protection app to locate my phone if it gets lost?

The Verizon Support & Protection app (VZ Protect) is installed on my phone and is supposed to help me if my phone is lost or stolen by allowing me to find it on a map, lock it, erase my data from it, etc. But I found it nearly impossible to figure out what I should do in the event that actually did get lost or stolen.
I logged into my My Verizon account from my computer (which is probably what I would do if I lost my phone), but unfortunately there isn't anything on the site to help a person who has actually lost their phone or had it stolen to quickly and easily locate it. Most of the links I found were only promoting Verizon's services and the app, but nothing on how to use it.
I tried searching for things I might type if I had actually lost my phone (like, "missing phone", "stolen phone", "find lost phone"). I had to go into the "How to Use Guide: Verizon Support & Protection" page, which I was only able to find on the Verizon Support & Protection FAQs page), in order to find a link that told me I had to go to the Verizon Support & Protection App website to use this service.
There really should be something more obvious right on the My Verizon site.

Purchase a replacement remote.
The remote is required for configuring the ATV and setting up the remote app on iDevices.

Can't use the Verizon reward card

I am not able to pay anything with my Verizon reward card, not even my own Verizon bill.
Try to talk to somebody calling the number in the back of my card (Visa) but there is no option to talk to somebody.
Is that only happening to me? Tried to search around but couldn't find much besides people complaining about not received cards.
Any help/direction will be appreciated.

What is the reason given for not being able to use the card? For assistance, please visit our Support page for a variety of ways to contact Verizon, including “Ask Verizon,” our virtual chat agent, and customer support phone numbers.

Can i use the verizon ipad 2 from US in indonesia and change the carrier

my brother bought me an iPad 2 wifi+3g from US and gave it to me in indonesia. i ccan't find the sim card slot, and when i checked out the carrier in general settings it showed verizon 10.0. can i just change the carrier? because i really want to use the 3g connections.i will really appriciate if you can help me.. sorry for my terrible english btw

You can give points by clicking on "helpful" or "correct" in the answers you like. :-)
There are CDMA networks in some parts of South Korea and Japan, I've been told, but they can't work with the iPad (someone posts that back when Verizon first offered the iPad, can't remember when). The CDMA IPad will only work with Verizon in the US.

Has any one used the verizon iPad in Italy with a local data plan?

I am plannign a trip to Italy. I have a VZ ipad 3rd gen. I would liek to use a local data SIM for Italy. VZ is $25 for 100MB. I think TIM is about 9 eoro for 1GB.

I can think of a couple of ways to do this. For small volume applications you could hard code the expiration date into the application prior to the build. At startup you could then check for a valid reistration code (this could be coded into an ini file) and then, if not registered, perform the appropriate task depending on whether the period has expired. You may also want to check during operation (say, for instance, every hour) to prevent continued use of the program by leaving it running. You could put a button on the front panel which is active an visible only if the program is not registered to allow for writing the registration code.
The second way is to include the start data in the ini file and have the evaluation period hard coded. This method is l
ess secure, although you could invent an encryption style for the date. Otherwise implementation would be similar.
I'm not familiar with the 1way.dll software so I can't give you any guidance on how well that approach would work.

Overage Alert!! Verizon Jetpack -?Inviting Trojans in to use your computers?

I'm now more than 2 weeks into trying to resolve OUTRAGEOUS overage charges on a VZ MiFi being used by my 87 yr old father who lives 650 mi from me. VZ sent him a new MiFi(2) over the TG holiday that didn't work, so he has intermittently had to use the MiFi(1) that registers MASSIVE amounts of data. We are again waiting for another new MiFi(3). The MiFi(2) was proven to be faulty by a 3rd party.
Interestingly, I've had by now, 2 'diamond tickets' where I've yet to receive any feedback.... guaranteed within 2-3 days. RIGHT! Text messages promised with some resolutions... NEVER received, nor have I ever been able to get to Tech Support for info they supposedly had on his MiFi usage, etc, etc. I cannot call in to VZ without being routed to Financial and the up to Receivables. There must be LOTS of entries on my account, but it takes FOREVER for them to be discovered and read and I have a feeling, that some of the info is sequestered. For those of you who may be having the same issues, just call in to Customer Support with a land line or NON VZ cell or to some publicly offered entry point as though you are a new customer. But, be assured that any follow up number they give you will route you right back to financial services WHO, BY THE WAY are CLOSED much of the time. I've started just calling those numbers on my VZ cell, put it on speaker phone so the 'helpful' person can hear just how helpful the rest of the VZ system is. They are generally speechless at this point.
I have discovered that there is software out there that VZ CAN USE to look at your MiFi and see what IP addresses are using it as an access point. The best I can understand, there may be LARGE NUMBERS of IPs coming thru his MiFi(1). A Trojan can create this scenario, apparently even with Norton running and Web Root as well.
I have other thoughts, questions that I'd like to suggest, but SERIOUSLY, VZ should be doing this, not me!!! Working thru multiple 'helpers' that are NOT helpful at all and using my 87 yr old Dad as my 'hands on' trouble shooter is a REAL CHALLENGE!!!! His car has broken down in the process of one of the trips to town for help and now his younger sister is hospitalized with a stroke, his girlfriend is ill in bed. SERIOUSLY, I hope HE survives this!!!

Yeah! I'll tell you like I told all of the many Verizon reps. First, my JetPack is secure. Of course anything can be hacked. Second, I live in the middle of ten acres. So do my neighbors. They are hundreds of yards away. Third, they have their own internet access. Fourth, I have checked how far this particular JetPack can broadcast. It just barely gets to the thirty-foot that Verizon advertises. Fifth, my neighbor has the Verizon JetPack service and they can't get my signal, and I can't detect their signal. The other neighbors have Hughes and one has a direct feed DSL service from AT&T. Two have Verizon JetPack service. One told me she had usage at 5:00 a.m., 11: a.m., 5 p.m., 11: p.m. for several days. She called Verizon. They investigated and said they would take care of it, that it was a timing problem and it was on Verizon's side. She said it cleared up. But the times of usage were still wrong.
Read the posts. I went 2.34 GBs into overage on the first 24 hours of usage in my billing cycle, Nov. 21. My plan is 14 GB. So I used 16.34 GB in 24 hours. I haven't used that in any month previously.
Other posters have similar stories. One said a family member left Verizon's employment because he got tired of lying.
I was told by the Verizon rep. that if I went to the shared data plan of 14 GB from my 10 GB, that overage rates would change from $10 for 1 GB, to $10 for 2 GB. Turns out that I was outright lied to. The email from Verizon on Thanksgiving Day at about 6:30 a.m. said I had exceeded my usage of 14 GB by 2.34 GBs and each additional GB was $15. Surprise.
I am going to write a letter to Mr. Lowell McAdam, President and CEO of Verizon Wireless because, like you, I don't think he knows Verizon is taking unfair advantage of their customers. (Public knowledge moderator.) I have already filed an FCC complaint, but don't expect anything to come out of that.
One poster having similar problems with her 86-year-old fathers JetPack is concerned about his health during this stressful time. Somebody at Verizon needs to wake up! I am 70, and it's stressful enough for me. I am making a compilation of all these posts and letters and will send them to my son to see what action he would advise me to take. He's a lawyer. Has a few friends that are lawyers also. Wade.

Can an AirPort Extreme connect to a wireless router; i.e.: Verizon Jetpack?

I just dumped Comcast in favor of Verizon's Jetpack. Can I configure my Airport to use the Verizon router, or can I connect it (at least) to my two comouters to maintain the Time Machine backups?

Check with Verizon to see if they have a Jetpack with an Ethernet port option....or an adapter that would convert the wireless from the Verizon Jetpack to an Ethernet signal, so the AirPort can connect.
An AirPort Express might be able to "join" the Verizon wireless network and provide an Ethernet signal from the AirPort Extreme.
I say "might" because I do not know if this will work. Better to use an adapter from Verizon to insure compatibility.

Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot 890L Help

Hello how are you? I am doing well. I am trying to set up the Verizon Jetpack on my desktop. I am clueless how to do that. I have it on my laptop. I just want it on my destop...
I have windows 7 and HP desktop. I just recently bought the computer. So I don't have no internet on the desktop. And the Jetpack is how I connect to the interenet. As so many others due.. So I really need step by step intructions on how to do this. I know that it can be done. I have emailed verizon but have not heard back from them..
Thanks
Melissa

Bsufan09, I'm doing great and I'm here to fill in the clues for you about setting up your Hotspot. Since the Hotspot is not setup to be used with VZAccess Manager or via USB cable, you would connect wirelessly the same as you do on your laptop. There is no software to install. Does your desktop have a wireless card installed? Normally Windows 7 will show an icon at the bottom right with the signal bars. This is your wireless network connection screen. To connect to a WiFi network, you can tap that icon and search available connections. Here is some more info with screenshots. http://bit.ly/WioTlT

Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Nat Type

Is there any way to change the nat type to open on this bad boy?
It's a great device and there aren't any problems with it, it does what I need except connect to people I want to connect to.
I casually use it to play games and I can connect to some people, from here in indiana to all the way down in texas, but my friend down the road, noooopee.
The only way to connect to him is to have a host connect us so we can never play just us.
I've tried everything else and I'm almost 100% sure that it is the NAT settings keeping this from working.
Long story short:
Can you change the Verizon Jetpack™ 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot NAT settings?
If no, why on earth not?

The only way Port Forwarding can be effective is if the governing firewall approves the network communication in the first place. The older 3G and 1x networks were well known to allow many custom protocols where as the new 4G network has nearly everything locked down.
Theoretically if you can get onto the old networks your port forwarding modifications would work.
However, VZW has been tightening its grip on the older 3G networks so you may have to wait for a specific IP Assignement before you can have confirmation that it will work. That may require rebooting the device multiple times until you happen to get assigned a "Good" IP.
Not sure why your signin credentials are changing as you switch from one network to another. The same router admin credentials should not be impacted by these changes. It should always be admin/admin or something similar by default.

It might not be a good idea to use your verizon.net email address as your primary.....

Team,
There is a problem using verizon email as your primary email. If your account is suspended, all email addressed to you is rejected by the verizon servers. This, as a service, is unacceptable. I suggest not using your verizon email as your primary email source since there is a chance that Verizon suspends your account and no email gets to you. I guess sometimes free accounts like gmail, hotmail, and others provide more of a service than those taking your money.
What do you think?
Here is my exchange with a verizon tech support person in a online chat. I will let you know if the emails are retrieved as the tech support person suggests. What do you think?
Chat Subject: FiOS Internet (E-Mail)
Your Question: Team, I opened an issue on 2 September and to date I have not received a reply. The issue number is {edited for privacy}.

You don't go into the details as to why the account was suspended ... that background might be helpful since you're asking others for their opinion. In general it sounds like the account was "deleted" at which point all mail is bounced because the address no longer exists -- but Verizon holds the name in reserve for some period of time to prevent someone from re-registering it in case an error was made and for some level of security, I suppose.
Anyhow ... on your commentary about not using an @verizon.net address as your primary address ... I think you will have this with many providers. Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail all do this if you terminate the account (they do have a suspended account due to inactivity feature which operates differently, but pretty much do the same thing for deletions and such. I don't use the @verizon.net account as my primary for a different reason however -- my primary address is provider agnostic. I can move providers (although I'm quite happy with FiOS at the moment) -or- if at some point down the road I have to move out of Verizon territory, my email address will not need to change. I used this little fact to my advantage when I moved from Comcast to Verizon a few years ago -- no one knew I changed providers because my email address didn't change. Now .. I don't use one of the free services for email, I own my own domain name (about $10/year from the likes of GoDaddy) and have my domain hosted on the Google Apps tier (but even without that, GoDaddy will do basic forwarding for you of any email address to whatever mail account you're presently using). Something to think about.

What prepaid service can I use my verizon Iphone 5 on

Recently about a month ago there was a commercial on tv that was a no contract Cellphone Carrier that advertised I could take my iPhone5 to their service. Unfortunately through my infinite wisdome I thought I had bookmarked their page and I had not. I was hoping that someone here can help me find their service as I am tired of Verizons BS games like trying to say I was in Canada Mexico and IL all that the same time according to their system. Then their wonderful rep after being told not to changed my data package from 6 gb to 2 gb causing me to go over my data and when I called them to find out why I was over my data I was told I could not go back to the package I had as it was no longer offered as I was getting the 6 gb for 20 bucks a mo and the 2 gb was 20 bucks a mo as well and for me to go back ot it I was looking at 60 bucks. I could swear the company's name started with an A I know its a long shot but they said I could use the verizon Iphone with them and they just had to ship me a new sim card for it and it was good to go. Please help as I need to get my phone working again my mother has cancer and this is the only way I can communicate with her right now is over my phone.

I have a iPhone 5 that I use on Verizon which is CDMA. I can also use that phone on any GSM carrier in the U.S. and abroad. The phone is not locked to Verizon. Even with Verizon I need a Verizon sim. I paid full price for the phone to get an unlocked phone.
