Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot 890L. Is there a problem with Windows 7?????

I have Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot 890L. Have had it for almost 2 years. I was on the internet with my Dell desktop and all of a sudden got a message "not connected to Internet". Spent an hour with Verizon and the Jetpack works fine on my NOOK and another tablet and they said to call Dell. After an hour with them they said Windows 7 is not compatible with a HotSpot and they do not support it.  I had a friend check out my computer (as Dell wanted over $200) and found nothing wrong and it connected fine to his wifi, with no problem.  So HELP what is wrong with my Verizon Hotspot??

I don't see that anything is wrong with your Hotspot from the description you posted here.
First of all the network status indicator built by Win7 is not 100% reliable to begin with.  MS has a simple algorithm that it uses to check internet resources.  When those resources do not respond the status indicator will bounce back and update the user accordingly.  You should always perform your own internet check by manually navigating to Google.com or another public website rather than depend on what Win7 is telling you.
Second of all you know your Jetpack was working because your other personal devices were working.  This makes me think there was some kind of a temporary glitch that would normally be resolved by rebooting either the Jetpack or your PC.
Finally, Dell does not support VZW devices.  When they say the hotspot is not supported they mean Dell does not support VZW products.  You may have misinterpreted what was said.  Dell is only going to support the Dell PC hardware and very basic Win7 problems such as walking you though the connection process.  When something is wrong with the network connection they will always tell you that it is not supported as they have no control over 3rd party vendors.  Win7 supports the Jetpack just fine, the Jetpack is a WiFi hotspot just like any other from Win7s perspective.
If you are having more troubles in the future then I suggest starting with a simple reboot of your devices.  Post back to us here and let us know if that is the case or not.

  • 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

  • Help with dmz or port forwarding on Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot 890L

    I really need help with this I want to play gta v but I have strict nat type on ps4 and everytime I go to the dmz on the ip website it shows the ip and the other side shows add and a dot I click on my ip and click apply but it tells me delete this ip but it also won't even let me delete the ip

    You may wish to ask this question over at the Verizon Wireless forums: https://www.verizonwireless.com/community . This community is for DSL and FiOS support, not LTE hotspot support.
    Be aware, Verizon Wireless uses Carrier-grade NAT, and your Hotspot also performs NAT. Game consoles do not like being behind Double NAT. Depending on how your hotspot is set up on the back end, you may only be able to achieve Moderate NAT / NAT 2 on the hotspot. If your hotspot has a public Internet IP, you should be able to hit Open NAT.

  • Where is the WPS button on my Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile HotSpot - MiFi 5510L?

    Where is the WPS button my my Verizon Jetpack® 4G LTE Mobile HotSpot - MiFi® 5510L?

        Thank you for reaching out to us, roser0322. The MiFi 5510L is a sweet device! Regarding the WPS services, the MiFi does not feature that service for wireless set up.

  • 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.

  • 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?

        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.

  • AirPort Extreme and Verizon's Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot SCHLC11

    Has anyone had any success using Verizon's Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot SCHLC11 with their Airaport Extreme?
    My home network consists of two AirPort Extremes, an iMac, two AppleTV2s, an iPad, an iphone4 and a Canon Printer.
    The problem is that I just moved to a rural area where there is no cable or DSL Internet provider.  Satellite is available but is too slow and too expensive.  My best option is Verizon's 4G LTE.
    So the question is this: Is it possible to wirelessly connect my AirPort Extremes to the wireless Internet signal from the Samsung Mobile Hotspot (WiFi out only) so that my home network has access to the Internet?

    I know its a little late but to answer your question "has anyone had any success using this Verizon Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot as their primary home WiFi router?"
    Yes with a Cradlepoint router. I use the MBR1100 which allows me to use mutiple air cards, or the MBR900 for use of just one card. Once that is set up you can use your Airport Express to extend the network as you need.
    Hope this helps

  • Can you add data to a  4g lte mobil hotspot through my verizon

    I have an  iphone 4  on my current "my Verizon", can a 4g lte mobil hotspot be managed with that account ?

    You can add the 2GB of hotspot data either on line or by calling *611 or 1-800-922-0204  I believe some cell plans have the hotspot included.
    Good Luck

  • Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot SCH–LC11

    Have the Samsung 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot card (use with my tablet). My desktop PC does not have wireless capability. What are my options to connect my desktop to the Hotspot card?  I have read that buying a special WIFI USB adapter will work, or installing a PCI Wireless card into the computer. Also, once I do either of these options, do I still need a wireless router of some sort or will the desktop be able to connect without a special router?
    I would rather not connect the Samsung hotspot card directly to the desktop via some special wire as I have read that this method will only allow the card to be used with the desktop and won't allow other devices (laptop, tablet, itouch) to connect to it during such time.
    What are the most economical WIFI USB adapters to buy? I am not a heavy user just internet browsing.
    What is the most economical and easiet PCI card to buy if I should go this route?

    I am trying to use the Samsung SCH-LC11 on Verizon as well. All my devices (MBA 13", iPad 2, iPhone 4) see the wifi signal but no data will transfer. I have tried adding my MAC addresses to the Samsung's security settings and I have performed several hard resets. No love. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO USB cable connection to Mac

    I am trying to connect a Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO via USB cable to my Macbook and iMac.  I can see it in the System Information, but it does not show up in the Devices in Finder.  Is there a driver that I need?  Does it exist (yet)?

    So I was able to get USB tethering to work, but I still can't connect to the hotspot as a media device (and view what is on my microSD card and/or the device). 
    Here's how I got USB tethering to work: I plugged into my laptop running Linux, where both USB tethering and mounting as a media device work fine, found the Mac OS driver on the device, copied it over to my Macbook, installed, rebooted, wirelessly connected to the hotspot, configured for USB tethering, went to Open Network Preferences..., connected to "SAMSUNG Mobile Device".   I did all this after talking to Samsung on the phone, where they told me the driver does not exist yet....

  • Connecting HP Officejet Pro 8600 to Verizon JetPack 4G-LTE

    Hi, as you can probably guess I am trying to connect my HP Officejet Pro 8600 to my wireless Verizon hotspot.  I have tried to use the "Wireless Setup Wizard".  When prompted I chose the correct network, and entered the correct password.  After some time the printer displays:
    Connection Successful
    IP: No Link
    Network Name: Not applicable
    followed by a Hostname and the MAC address of the printer.  When I try to view the wireless connection the window states that I am not connected (as suspected). I then printed the "Wireless Network Test Results".  It reports "No problems found. Congratulations on the successful setup of your wireless printer." and everything under the "Diagnostics Results" section passes. Under the "Current Configuration" section the correct SSID is displayed, however the IP address comes up as 0.0.0.0 (which means I am not connected?). 
    Also, I checked the Jetpack's configuration page and the MAC filtering is disabled.
    Is it possible to connect this printer to a Verizon Jetpack (MiFi)? If so, what am I doing wrong?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It looks like the printer is connecting to the network, just not receiving any IP information.
    I will provide the simplest solution that typically resolves this issue.  To receive the best results, be certain to follow them in order.
    1.  Power off the JetPack.
    2.  Disconnect the power to the printer while it is on for 1 minute.
    3.  Power on the JetPack and wait for the network connection to come back up.  This can be easily identified when other devices start connecting to it again.
    4.  Reconnect the power to the printer and wait for the home screen to finish loading.
    5.  Press the antenna icon and select Settings.
    6.  Scroll down and select Restore Network Defaults.
    7.  Once that is completed, reconnect the printer to the network with the Wireless Setup Wizard.
    DHCP, dynamic host configuration protocol, is responsible for assigning IP information to devices automatically as they connect.  It is possible to connect to a network without DHCP, there just won't be any communication unless IP settings are set manually.

  • Keep getting msg "Cannot start Mobile Hotspot due to temporary network problem. Please try again later"  This has been happening for the last 3 days!

    Has anyone seen this problem?  I need to have this function working as part of my job and I'm going to be out of reach of hotspots starting tomorrow.  It's critical I get this working asap.
    Thanks

  • Verizon jetpack 4g lte - poor slow service in 3G?

    I have been having terrible service for my home MIFI - I was promised it would be fast and it barely creeps. Tonight I kept losing my internet service and when it did work it took forever for pages to load and this is on a new core i5 computer.  Verizon clams that it is normal service - but for $50 a month????? WE are in a 3G area and have no promise of when it may be 4G.

        When in a good coverage area our 4G LTE Jetpacks will have a reliable connection and fast speeds. Where are you currently using this device? Do you typically only experience these issues while you are in your home or does it occur at other locations as well? 
    Thank you,

  • 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 4510L - Can't Charge and Use?

    Unless I'm missing something, there appears to be a tremendous design flaw with the brand new 4510L - it's not possible to charge the device via USB and use its 4G data connection!  It looks like the WiFi radio shuts down as soon as I plug the device into a powered USB port.
    This seems insane.  If my laptop is plugged into a power source, why can't I be charging the MiFi at the same time and still use the data connection?

    I have a 4510L but do not need to charge by the usb cable I use the wall charger but I was looking at other stuff for the 4510L and found this, its the retractable. Might want to call them first and make sure. I have ordered other stuff from them and they are good to work with you. Number to call is on home page
