Will one of the Jetpack devices work as always on internet?

I would very much like to replace the cable internet service provider in my home.  I have a sufficient data plan to handle our home browsing needs, and I would like to get a jet pack device that runs all the time.  I purchased the 4510L, but it appears that even when it is plugged in to the wall, it runs off of battery power.  It will eventually shut off and recharge, then I have to turn it back on.  I would like to know if any of the jetpack devices can run off of AC power as their primary power source.  I understand that occasionally the wireless reception may drop, and that is fine, as long as the device will eventually pick it back up on its own.  Is this possible, or am I stuck with my cable provider?  Thanks!

You should be able to solve that problem.
MiFis have a default power setting on them that turns off the device after XX minutes of no use (As determined by the MiFi).  You can find and modify this setting in the MiFi Admin webpage.  It should be under the advanced area and can be configured to leave the MiFi on all the time.
That being said, no MiFi model will behave very well as an always on home internet replacement device.  Dedicated home cable routers and modems will always perform better, they are designed for that scenario.  By comparison MiFis are designed to be light weight travel devices, they simply do not have the hardware necessary to be left online all day long with acceptable results.  MiFis are more appropriate as a backup, mobile or temporary internet solution.
If you are looking for a home internet always on internet connection device you would be safer going with stronger hardware like a USB Modem+CradlePoint router, the VZW 4G LTE router or VZW HomeFusion.  Any of those devices are going to provide you with a better experience for your home than the MiFis without additional equiptment like boosters and antennas.  Some CradlePoint routers can be expensive but perform very well, the 4G LTE router has mixed review and the nice thing about HomeFusion is the special data plan and high powered equiptment.

  • My computer will not recognize my iPod Nano when i connect it. I tried my laptop instead but it said the same thing - one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Can i fix this?

    My 16 gig iPod Nano 7th gen was put of power. I connected it to the computer and it started to turn on (the apple appeared in the middle of the screen). Then left it two minutes and the computer went into sleep mode. My iPod nano had gone off and now it will not turn on, or connect to the computer, so i cannot charge it. I am not sure if it is a problem with the usb cable. When I conntct the cable to the computer nothing happens, but then when i connect the iPod to the cable it says 'one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it'. Please don't say its broken already

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

  • "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices has malfunctioned..."

    I'm running Windows XP with external hard drive. When hard drive is connected, iPod will not sync and I get message stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices has malfunctioned..."
    When disconnect the external drive, he iPod appears in My Computer. However, iTunes is on external drive; therefore music is not syncing onto iPod. I've attempted the 5 R's as well as searching for iPod in Device Mananger. When iPod is conncected, it is listed in Devce Manage as "Unknown Device."
    I've changed drive letters on boh iPod and external drive and get the same message. Please help.

    QRe: Zen MX Causes "USB Hardware has Malfunctioned" Msg from Windows XpyUhh, Yes.
    I used to same cable to attach my Motorola Razr and the computer correctly found it and identified it as such.
    I also tried another cable (brand new) same thing.
    I went to recovery mode and did a "CLEAN UP" but no dice.
    I also got my I.S. tech guy to look into it and on the USB page it say "UNKNOWN DEVICE"? when he tried to delete it it did not help, it just reappears as "UDVC"? Also in looking into it it seems to have no drivers.
    He came to this site and tried to do somethinm through here but it did'nt work.
    Now in listening to it last night it began to 'skip' or what I call 'HICCUP" terribly. Where a song starts and stops, during the middle of it. ? It's always done it a little but it has been getting more and more common and now? It's WAY worse about it.
    It has never been dropped, or nishandled in any way. I bought the clear hard case to protect it. And only has about 300 songs on it. Never used for anything else. No vids no pics, nothing.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen - "One of the USB devices attached to this computer...

    Advance Happy Martin Luther King Day to all,
    Hi guys, I just got myself a 2nd Generation iPod Touch last December 2008. At first it really worked fine, I have never had any problem with it until today. early this morning when I was transferring a movie to my iPod, my PC froze, so what I did is pulled the USB attached to my iPod and I push the little button on my PC to restart it. Then after restarting, i tried to connect my iPod and it gave me an error saying
    "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
    I tried, restarting my computer, reinstalling my itunes, repairing my itunes, and still it always gives me the same response when I try to connect my iPod. At first I thought that maybe my USB port really has problems and so tried using other ports but it always give me the same results. I even tried to connect my digicam, PSP and webcam and those worked properly, I also tried to run a diagnostic thru my USB ports and it worked well saying that I do not have problems with my USB Ports.
    What will I do now? I tried reading here in apple support section but the only thing I found was for the iPod with the Wheel. Please help me fixing my problem.
    Thak you soooooooo much.

    I've been trying to fix my own iPod for a while. Different problem but I think this might help.
    Ultimately, if your computer HAS been able to recognise your iPod at one point, it's a driver problem.
    You didn't specify which OS you're using, but I'll assume it's Vista.
    This might help you:
    Download the new version of iTunes
    Save it somewhere on your computer
    UnZip the program using something like WinRAR or The Extractor
    In the folder, locate Apple Mobile Device and double click it
    Remove the program
    Restart your computer
    Re-install the program
    Connect your iPod
    Things should be working now. If not:
    Click Start
    Type Run in the search field
    Type "devmgmt.msc"
    Click OK if you are get a prompt
    Scroll to Universal Serial Buses and look for "Apple iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device USB" or something to that effect. (If it's not there it may be in Imaging Devices or Portable Devices)
    Right click
    Properties
    Click the Driver tab
    Click Driver Details
    Tell me what you see.

  • IProblem: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has ...."

    Hi, I'm having a problem with my iPod.. when I connect the iPod this message pops:
    "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has ...."
    I've searching a similar problem in the forums, and I have found many discussion about it, but any of them can solve my problem.
    Well, all began like this, the iPod was attached to the computer AND showing on iTunes, suddendly the screen shines I DID NOT Eject it (the iPod was on its menu, not in the Do not disconnect screen) so I thougth it was ok... but the iPod was still showing on iTunes, so I ejected.
    The iPod remains connected for about an hour then I disconnect it without any problems. The problems began when I connect the iPod again (2 hours later), the message "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has ...." pops, now my computer can't access the iPod (it isnt on My Computer or iTunes)...so the first thing I did was search a similar problem in the forums, I've found that exact problem in many discussions, and I've tried everything they say:
    1. The Five R's
    2. Uninstall and Reinstall iPod software and iTunes
    3. Enable manually disk mode (still not recognized)
    4. Check if the USB was low powered and Uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to safe power" (it isn't low powered 'cause the iPod was working with that USB)
    No matter what I did, the iPod is not showing on My Computer, I hope you can help me out, tomorrow I will try on a different computer and a different cable
    PD: Sorry for my poor English, I'm from Peru.

  • One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.

    I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
    I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?
    Windows 7 and iPad 2
    Kind regards,

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...

    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

  • MuVo V100 "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned&qu

    My V00 freaked out yesterday when I plugged it into the USB port on my PC. The machine ended up freezing and I had to do a hard reboot. Post reboot XP gives the message "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned" and the player wasn't recognized. I did the system clean up and reboot recommended and the player itself is working normally again but XP still doesn't recognize the player. The V00 doesn't have any drivers I can locate so I'm stuck with a music library I can't update. I stopped at the office this morning and my laptop has the same issues. Aside from buying an IPod what else can I do. I've reinstalled the entire USB structure on my machine and all my other USB devices are recognized and working normally.

    Try disconnecting the other USB items before connecting the player. Try connecting the player in a different USB slot. Connect the player directly to the USB slot, not to an extension cable or a hub.

  • IPod touch 32 Gig "One of the USB Devices Attatched to this Computer has.."

    One of the USB Devices Attatched to this Computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognized it.
    I've had this iPod for about a month now, with no problems until now. Infact, two days ago when I connected/charged it everything worked fine. I have researched, and tried just about everything. I've rebooted multiple times, restarted the iPod, reinstalled iTunes, searched for usb drivers, tried the iPod on ANOTHER computer (didn't work either, same error), stop and restarted the services (Apple Mobile Device, iPod service). All that jazz, (also, comes up in device manager as "unknown device". When I try to search for new software it cannot find).
    My computer is custom built, everything is plugged in, and top of the line... so it can't be a hardware issue.
    I'm getting frustrated, and I don't understand why this isn't working when it worked perfect 2 days ago...
    Help!

    I have run into this also. I connected my Touch to a different pc
    and it was recognized and I was able to get going. Even though
    you've tried a different computer, it might be worth trying one
    more. Just a thought. Good luck.

    frozen rogue image on macbook air: synced iphone, was asked to download from itunes, to restart, did this. when restarted there was photo of chocolate saying 'love you'. never seen image, it will not delete, the techs at work tried too. No luck.Virus? any ideas?

    I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
    I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
    Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
    Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
    Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.
