Why is Windows 8.1 causing my Verizon Mobile Broadband USB Pantech modem to auto connect/

Why is Windows 8.1 causing my Verizon Mobile Broadband USB Pantech modem to auto connect? If I turn it off in Windows Settings I can not get service. As I am on a 5 GB plan I do not want my internet running at all times nor do I want o have to disconnect from the internet every time I turn my computer on.

    mebpapa,
Hmm. That is a bit conflicting. After all, we don't want you to have to worry about usage running up or having to get disconnected each time you get on the computer. Ultimately, this is a software functionality of Windows 8.1 however. Have you noticed a high increase of usage when the auto connect is left on or are you just taking precautionary measures?

  • Windows 8.1 laptop cannot connect to the internet using USB Mobile Broadband stick.

    I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. Well, things worked perfectly until I wanted to connect to the internet using my mobile broadband USB stick. I installed the software that came with the stick, and my laptop recognize
    the stick but I still cant connect to the internet. The stick workes perfect in my Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, but IT DONT CONNECT WITH MY WINDOWS 8.1 LAPTOP. What can I do to troubleshoot this???
    HOPE I AM SPECIFIC ENOUGH THOU...

    The PC Repair Guy,
    If you haven't already, verify that you can connect to the internet through some other means such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet with your laptop to rule out any network setting issues.  If you are able to connect successfully to the internet, use that opportunity
    to make sure you have
    Windows 8.1 Update installed as well as any other applicable updates your laptop may require.
    You may also want to check the
    Windows Compatibility Center to make sure that your device is compatible with Windows 8.1. 
    Another possibility is that the driver your laptop is installing for the device isn't the correct one.  Check the device manufacturer's site for the most up to date driver they have available for Windows 8.1.
    Hope this helps!

  • Windows 10 update causes my printer to disconnect

    I just upgraded this toshiba lap top to windows 10, since upgrading my wifi adress seems to have changed, the printer dosent want to stay on line or be recognised. i have had to download the wizard 5 times since the upgrade. I plan on getting a new computer after school starts and am worried because it will be a mac and i am wondering what kind of problems i will encounter when attempting to add the new computer to the wifi as well as connecting to the printer.I dont understand why the windows 10 upgrade has caused so many problems, and i find it a pain to contineously search for fixes.will there be a upgrade or soloution to this for the hp envy?

    Hi there, had same trouble, I have an Epson NX130, would not power up, downloaded all the latest drivers to the computer but still would not power up, after browsing through some answers, one had suggested to go to your printer, where it says share  tick the box and see what happens, make certain it is the printer you want to share, when you go to Maintainenceif it shows all colours of your inks and levels you could have solved your problem, cant suggest any thing else, but that worked for me, Good luck 

  • Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes?   Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere.  Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

  • Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

    Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
    As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
    - Mike

    Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
    I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
    Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
    What can I do now?
    Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

  • Why is my iPad so slow using verizon 3g verses wifi

    why is my iPad so slow using verizon 3g verses wifi?

    My older sister has an iPhone 4S with Verizon, and my iPhone 4S is with AT&T.
    At Xmas this past year, I used the same speed test app on her iPhone and on mine to check each carrier's download and upload speed. This was in Dallas where both carriers have good coverage. My download and upload speeds with AT&T blew her iPhone's download/upload speeds with Verizon out of the water. Wasn't even close.

  • Why does windows have 64-bit iTunes but not mac?

    I can't believe it. I searched the archives here and someone said because most people don't have 64-bit compatible machines. Then why does Windows get separate versions but not the native OS?
    I'm running audio hardware optimized for 64-bit (drivers) but the sound quality of iTunes is worse in 64-bit than in 32-bit.
    Anyone have any knowledge when 64-bit is going to be released?

    iTunes is only 32 bit for Windows OS and Mac OS.
    The 64bit version for Windows simply includes 64 bit drivers. The application itself is only 32 bit.
