Wireless Hell

Apparently I dont have a clue when it comes to wireless. This was set up before I got involved with this organization. We have a Cisco 850 with a Wirless card, and an Aironet 1200. Each placed at each end of a building. Clients can intermittently connect to the 850 (with an antenna right above), but always try to connect to the 1200 on the other side of the building. It seems like the 1200 has a stronger more reliable signal than the 850 even though it is far away. I am just trying to configure simple roaming with the clients. Any thoughts? Please Assist.
Thanks!

My reasoning is that if a laptop near one radio is jumping to the other , then most likly the cell sizes are much to large.
Granted you may have a faulty radio or a loose antenna.. Or someone thought it would be nice to hang xmas lights off of it for the new years party. :)
Go onto your 1200's web interface. Click on 'Network Interfaces' it will be on the left hand side.
Now click on the radio in question., such as Radio0-802.11G. Now a new page will appear and there will be a series of tabs at the top of the page. Third from the left is 'Settings', hit that and scroll about halfway down the page and look for 'power'.. Likly its set to default.
Since your likly doing this during production hours don't touch anything yet. Once you have a maintance window you will be able to dial it down a bit if required. Use a laptop to ensure you dont turn it down to far.
You really should look at doing whats called a site survey. Take a look at this book, its available via safari or your preferd book supplier. Its by Cisco Press.

WRT54G V8 Slow as hell wireless connection

Im about to go on a killing spree because I cannot figure this out. I have a desktop connected to the router. The router to the modem. I can get on the internet fine with nice speeds on the desktop. When I connect wirelessly with my laptop it is slow as hell. Wont load anything than after 2 minutes it will load it all at once. I have no idea what the heck is going on. I've changed settings and changed them back in the router config. What could possible be causing this??????

I have exactly the same problem with my WRT54g V8 router. My Dell laptop takes forever to load web pages. My desktop "flies" when connected via ethernet but slows like the laptop when I connect wirelessly using a USB wireless adapter WUSB54G.
When I connect to my neighbors Netgear wireless, everything is very fast. When I use my old Microsoft wireless router, things are very fast. When I go back to the Linksys, SLOW SLOW SLOW!!!!!!!
I have updated the firmware to no avail. Changed channels and turned off all wireless security.....no change!!!
I am running Windows XP SP2 and using Comcast cable broadband.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Homehub wireless cutting out regularly, PLEASE HEL...

we recently upgraded to a newer black model of the homehub after having an original white one for a few years,
ever since the upgrade the wireless cut's out randomly throughout the day and the only way to rectify the problem is to click restart on the home hub or unplug it and plug it in again.
My sister and I both have macbook pros and know how to work the airport and find the home hub and put in the wireless key. they cut out at the exact same time so it isn't a problem to do with laptop location or one computer not working it's the home hub at fault.
as we don't have windows we can't download the desktop help.
there is also no speakers, telephones or anything that could interrupt the signal within five feet of the hub to my knowledge.
restarting seems to solve the problem for a couple of hours maximum this can be very tedious as the home hub is in my dad's bedroom and he has to restart it which makes it impossible without waking him up throughout the night
and work cannot be done online
if anyone has had a similar problem and can help it would be very much appreciated! I believe we shouldn't be paying for a non existant service.
I don't know much about IPs or routers so layman's terms please!!
oh also the wireless and BT vision box cut out when the phone is answered but after a couple of minutes of the phone being picked up or hung up they go back to normal, not sure if that helps.
thank you to anyone that can help in advance

there is a program inssider which shows the broadcasting networks round about you which may be interfering with your wireless signal but in does not work with a mac. you can enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and enter the hub manager then navigate to wireless and try changing the channel by going from auto to manual and selecting another channel - trial and error but 1, 6 and 11 are the most popular. you can also change from b/g/n to b/g which might help

Securing wireless java programs (MY HELL)

hello, you very helpful people!!!
i'm currently looking at writing a java program provide an alternative to the DHCP function on a wireless router which is really conveinient but rubbish for security!
The program will do a similar job by having a client/server program.
The client runs a program, enters a username and password
The details are then checked by a authentication server if they are correct the server sends the client an ip address as a string
The client runs a command line and uses a microsoft tool Netsh to change its own IP setting
The client should then be able to communicate to the wireless router.
All the convienience of DHCP but a little bit more secure.
My problem is for this program to be effective i need some sort of encryption so the IP address sent by the server cant be sniffed.
I would appreachiate it anyone has some links to sample client/server programs that use encryption or can suggest an approach.
You have to remember however that encryption over wireless client/server is a lot more tricky as the link is often unstable a property not liked by most encryption!!!
thanks in advance

Try not to reproduce the errors that were made when the crypto algorithms for IEEE 802.15 (WiFi) were defined.
The crypto scheme was weak and was broken easily.

Verizon wireless sucks no reception and dropped Calle hell I can't even send texrs. I'm going back to T mobile and they can have their note 3 or I will crush it.

Reception sucks 98391 and they said they would look in to it. I'm not paying for something that doesn't work.

I can't send texrs either, maybe my phone is defective? However, my texts go through swimmingly!
I actually have crappy reception INSIDE my home due to the new green materials being used. All phones drop connection in my home. Walk outside and you get 4 bars. I wish I didn't have to buy the in home calling extender, my roommate got his for free from t-mobile. Also Verizon removed the VOIP calling from may SGS5 which would have saved me a lot of hassle.

TS1398 My iPad will not connect to WiFi. It will not even register any wireless networks. I have tried everything based on hours of research on the internet including restoring the iPad to its factory settings and changing the security on my router. Hel

I have literally tried everything that I could possibly find on how to fix the problem and it is still not connecting. I am reaching to find out if anyone knows what my next steps would be or if I just need to contact Apple. Thank you for your help!

Try a soft reset or turn the device completely off then turn it back on again. Also you can toggle Airplane mode on for about 10 seconds and then turn it off. Sometimes that resets the radio signal inside the device.
A soft reset is basically holding onto the power button and the home button simultaneously together for about 10 seconds or until you see the screen flash and it should go completely black. Afterwards, tun the device back on like normally and see if that fixes the problem.

IPhone 5S pre-order HELL!!

Verizon iPhone 5S PRE-ORDER HELL!! - They screwed up and dragged my situation out for 9 days!! At the end of it all I'm still missing an iPhone 5S. 9/20 @ midnight I ordered TWO iPhone 5S 16GB silver and received a order confirmation for BOTH phones and a confirmed ship by date of 9/24. NO notification of anything went wrong. 9/22 - I get a shipping notification from Verizon but only one mobile # is listed. I call Customer Care and rep just quickly and casually confirms that two phones shipped. 9/23 - I get an email saying they couldn't fulfill my order completely and that the remaining order will ship 9/30. I call Customer Care again to inquire about this and he the rep went out of his way (great guy) to confirm that two phones have shipped and that I have nothing to worry about. Said the message was generic and was mistakenly sent out. 9/25 - I receive package and find only ONE iphone!! I called Customer Care again and this time Adam helped me. After looking through things, he comes back saying he thinks the iPhone was taken out of the box before shipment, stolen!!! Had me send him all this information and said the Verizon investigation team is on it to "look" for the iphone. I asked if he could put a new order in and just exchange it for the "misplaced" iPhone. He said it was not necessary because he believes there is a iphone somewhere. 9/27- Adam leaves me a voice mail saying that it was all a misunderstanding and my iphone should ship 9/30 and he'll be on it. 9/29 - I help my wife activate her iPhone because she tried until 3am the night before with no help. While I'm on with Customer Care again she, Ida, asks how's my phone service in which I explain to her everything. She looks into it and says she sees no record of any order or tracking for an iPhone. Further says the reason one iPhone was placed on hold because a discount was applied to two devices and it could only be used for one. I told her that I've never been notified by Verizon that something went wrong until today. And this is after calling Customer Care numerous times. And NOW I find this out. She says she's going to look into it as there might be a small chance that there is an iPhone for me. She said she'll call back by 5pm and txted me her email address. 6:00pm comes and no callback. It also turns out the email address is bogus. I call Customer Care again and get another rep who looks into it and does a whole bunch more investigation. Finally she says there never was an order for my iphone and there will be no iphone shipping tomorrow. My only choice is to place a new order and I won't get it until 10/14!!! SERIOUSLY!!! ARGGGGGHHHHHHGGHGHHGG!!! Expletives galore!!! Talked to the manager Brandon and asked if they can do something for me to compensate me for all this crap I went through. I've been with Verizon for like 15 years. He kept on saying "I understand ..blah..blah.. BUT there's nothing we can do" over and over again. So I said Verizon made a mistake, detected this mistake but didn't notify the customer of this mistake, Customer Care couldn't figure it out until today, and that I'm out of luck? Does he REALLY understand? If I had known all this I could have walked to a store on 9/20 and gotten a iphone. Pre-ordering was suppose to be a convenience provided, right? And I waited because I was led to believe that some iPhone existed.. dragged along for a ride only to find out there was no iphone. And after all this, I get nothing but "I understand.... But there's nothing we can do..." So yes people Verizon stinks!!! They do not hold themselves accountable for their mistakes and expects the customer to just take it. I'll have to admit that not all customer service reps are bad (Ty, Adam, and the very last girl who helped me you guys were awesome!! Ida you could have made this list until you decided not to call me back and gave me a bogus email). Customer Care is a mixed bag and have not real authority to help you. Verizon is about to lose yet another loyal customer and his family soon. There should be some class action lawsuit for all the iphone 5s issues. Promises/Contracts made but Verizon completely failed to keep. They just jerk us along for a ride, dangling that ship date that keeps moving around.

"Customer Care is a mixed bag and have not real authority to help you." I worked for Verizon before it was Verizon, for several years. I think that you are entirely correct in your assessment of customer care. Reps really can't do much at all. I believe that the key function of reps is 1. hand holding and 2. punching bag. The goal is to get the customer believe that they actually DID something, and got some result! After all the talking, the customer starts to believe that something actually happened to resolved the situation. At least they spoke to SOMEONE! Picture this: the rep is on the computer, wearing a headset, and the calls are coming at them non-stop, and you have 3 minutes to convince this person that you actually helped them! But in the end, as you said, nothing happened! It is the sad truth of cs.
I am curious to see if the Moderator leaves this post on the board.

Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out.

Hello KeyGroupGJ!
Wow, Im sorry for all the issues you have had with the Home Phone Connect service! I'd really like to assist you. You mentioned that there is no number to call to get this straightened out. No worries, there is no need to call us, since I can reach out to you. Please send me a direct message with your name, your mobile number, and a good contact number for you. I'll be happy to assist you!

Why 9ias WIRELESS seems to be a PANDORA BOX ??

hi:
In release notes of my 9ias downloaded documents it says that i have 9ias 1.0.2.2.2
I've installed Enterprise Edition but i've choose just to configure after instalation forms and reports services.
What the hell i need to put 9ias Wireless working ?
I've follow the docs that say that i would have to configure jserv.conf, httpd.conf, jserv.properties, zones.properties, etc! I've configured them well. But i dont have the WIRELESS SCHEMA created on the database. My database is Oracle 9i and OS os Win2k Server.
How can I invoke the Wizard or run the scripts for my Wireless Schema?
I also denoted that technet as a new version called 1.0.2.2.2a (look there's a letter in the end... may be it means that was built in the (a)FTERNOON and the 1.0.2.2.2 in the morning...)
I would like to know WHAT DO I REALLY NEED to put 9ias WE working (acka:portal-to-go ... may be should be called portal-to-leave)
I'm desperatelly needding help!
By the way, the thing that i hate most in Oracle is the null documentation! sorry Oracle guys... it's true. jdev, 9ias, etc lacks of docs in some important areas!
Thankx in advance.

Open letter to Verizon Wireless Management and Customer No-Services

After more than 10 years as a customer of Verizon Wireless, I have recently encountered several situations that have caused me to begin the process of changing my service provider to another company. Verizon has "zero" loyalty or appreciation of its existing customers; they have poor, and in one particular case, rude customer no-service representatives and policies.
I purchased a new smart phone for my college daughter. Of course, activation of this new phone required the purchase of a data plan, even though she doesn't need or intend to use data services. (That's fine; I was aware of this cost even though I believe it to be over-priced). In addition, they also required a $30 fee for signing a new contract. Seriously? Are you kidding me? A fee for the "privilege" of signing a contract with the big, powerful, arrogant Verizon? I don't want a contract in the first place; it is Verizon that wants the contract. They should pay me for signing a contract. I could understand a fee for a new account setup (not really, but it makes a little sense) but a fee for an existing multi-line, long-time customer where the paperwork is nothing more than a mere mouse click of the "I Agree" button?
So, the daughter gets her new phone with 24 months of data (for the low, low price of 25 months.... yea right). We take her old phone, which she has had for several years, and decide to use it on another of the lines in our family plan because it has a qwerty keyboard. Now, I learn that I have to sign up for a data plan to use this old phone on a different line. This phone has been in service for several years with no data plan but now I have to have a data plan to use it? What the **** ??? I only wanted to use the phone for voice calls and a few texts. I have no need for data. This phone, an ENV3, is not well suited for data services anyway. (No, I won't be using this old phone after all.)
Companies such as yours dream up junk fees; this one amounts to $1.25 per month additional revenue. They do this as a way of increasing revenue while advertising a lower price, ie advertise $30.00 per month but actually charge $31.25. I suppose they all pat themselves on the back and start counting all the new-found money. The management is so stupid and arrogant that they do not realize what the long-term impact could be. In this particular case, the end result shall be the net loss of $250.00 per month in revenue. I know that you don't care; that is painfully obvious and clear.
Well Mr. Verizon, you may consider this to be my official letter of resignation. Consider me gone, done, history. I don't need you, your arrogance, or your over-priced services. I currently pay nearly $250/mo to your company for six phone lines, four of which are "very lightly" used for calls and and a few text only. Personally, on my line, I do nothing but make and/or receive an average of two 3-minute calls per week. I put up with a lot of crap making my money; I do not have to tolerate any when spending it. I WILL be taking ALL my business elsewhere. Four of my lines are currently month-to-month with no contract. I will be moving these to another provider in the coming week. The remaining ones will be moved upon expiration of their respective contracts.
Cheers

Verizon has no obligation to respect your "loyalty." They do, however, have an obligatory fiduciary duty to their investors, hence the "upgrade" fees, "line access" fees, "regulatory recovery" fees, data plan "repuirements", and data caps, none of which are intended to buy YOU anything. They are assessed primarily to provide profits to them and dividends to their investors, along with a source of capital expenditure for their network expansion whose sole purpose is to attract more customers to provide more revenue streams to meet their aforementioned fiduciary duty to serve their executives and investors ever greater profits and dividends. And in this country, that is ALL this wireless game is about. EVERYTHING else, be it customer service, value of service, loyalty or anything else, is secondary.
And you think other carriers are any different? Nope. They all are in this for the exact same game, however they choose to play it, plan for plan, fee for fee. Sure, details differ, some plans might look more appealing and for some, prudent shopping around might even net some nominal cost savings, but all in all, they pretty much charge the same fees and require the same data plans, because that's where the big bucks are, and one way or another you will pay them or you will do without (which might be a blessing in disguise).
I personally don't like this any more than you do, and I would favor strong federal regulatory oversight much as they have in Europe Latin America and Asia, along with homogenized network infrastructure which stimulates competition by allowing easy interoperability of phones and devices irrespective of carrier, but I fear it will be a cold day in hell before we ever see the likes of that here. According Republican thinking, that's just not the "American Way."

Wireless stopped working on my e2000

I am not a computer genius, but I have deduced that my wireless was working fine for 1 month (how long I've had the router), and after my computer fell asleep today for the millionth time because I was surfing while cleaning, the wireless connection stopped showing up. I have unplugged, and reset everything, but could only connect by unsecuring the wireless. I can connect using a wire, though, just fine. I am afraid to manually set up anything since I have an aspire one without a disc drive, and my router came with no easy key. It wouldn't be a problem to just use my hp pavillion laptop, but the **bleep** thing has evil vista and says to get service packs (but when I do, it still says the service pack message) so the disc wont take. I put the setup disc on a flash drive to make my own key before, but that doesn't work now... can someone tell me like a kindergartener how the hell to fix this?? Thank you, kindly
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I SOLVED MY PROBLEM!! HARD RESET: SOUNDS HARD, RIGHT? IT KINDA IS...
1. unplug all wires to your router EXCEPT power and internet
2. hold the router very securely between your knees (careful not to press any buttons by accident)
3. use something to press the reset button and HOLD IT DOWN
4. count to 30 slowly
5. without releasing the reset button, pull the other 2 plugs out, and count to 30 slowly again KEEP HOLDING
6. without releasing the reset button, plug the power cord back in to the router, and yes, count to 30 slowly again
7. plug in the internet cord, and set up your router like it is straight out of the box happy surfing!

Wireless Communication problem between HP Photosmart C309g and Linksys E2500 router

Hello,
I used C309g connected to DLink Dl-624 router (wireless connection) and everything was working correctly. Now I changed the router to Linksys E2500 (dual band router) and I've got strange problem I cannot fix.
The printer connects to router, obtaint IP address and network report does not indicates any problem. Also HP Print & Scan Doctor does not report any problem.
But when I try to print from my laptop, the pint start and is quickly broken, and I've got the message that printer is diconnected. The printer stops. When I leave it for a coupl of minutes, the printing starts and after few lines stops again with the same message on the laptop.
When I return to DLink router, everything works correctly.
I tried with 4 different laptops, with different operating systems, and i've gor the same issue. But the laptops communicates well, the network does not break..
I enforced router to use IP reserved number for the printer, used the same IP range and number for my network and printer on Linksys and DLink, does not help. I've turn off firewall on the router - does not help. I've change the channel range for 2.4 GHz network to 20MHz only - does not help.
What would be the problem with it? Is there something related to dual-band? Any idea?

Well, I did not install the printer drivers from cd, I did it from the Hp webpage. Looking for the potential problems I reinstall the drivers and it did not helped. I also turn off the firewall router application and it also did not help.
I suspect I have the printer firmware up to date e.g my version is WHM1FN0931BR.
I've made some test with router settings: switch from automatic WPS configuration to manual and tried network mode as wireless b only (default was mixed). This makes the communication between router and printer continuous (no breaks), I could normally scan documents directly to network drive, but could not print at all: the printing option on my laptop pops up, and looks like document was sent to nowhere.. printer did not start to print at all. But other network devices starts to experience connection breaks and performance issues. When I returned to mixed mode, the communication between network devices returns to normal operation, but not with the printer - where I experiences original problems.
My network is quite complex - 4 laptops and 2 TV sets communicates (wireless or LAN 100mbit cable ) via cental router with NAS server (with DLNA) and internet (DSL cable modem). Router also works as DHCP server, where any server type devises (e.g my printer) has reserved IP addresses (based on MAC number). No matter if I try to print from wireless or via LAN cable laptop, no matter what OS is on laptop. I have even tried to connect the printer via LAN (forcing DHCP to give the LAN pronter the same IP as was previously for wireless ), and stil the same: communication is broked and the print starts and suddenly stops.., then starts angain after few minutes - and stops (the same problem as wireless). So I do not understand what the hell is going on. Rest of my network works perfect .. except this printer.. Any other idea, what coul be the issue?

TCP Timeouts in Native Windows 7 64-bit (wired and wireless)

I am having some major headaches with this new laptop in regards to network stability. I have a W510 4318CTO with the Ultimate-N 6300 AGN adapter. Here is what I'm seeing:
Prior to installing Virtual PC/XP Mode, whenever I am browsing the web or accessing samba shares, I occasionally get spurts of timeouts. Sometimes the timeouts are inescapable, but oddly enough the issue surfaces less after a hibernation than after a reboot or shutdown/start. Google Docs is one thing that is especially unstable. Either the icons don't load or the style sheet doesn't load or I can't click on anything or I can't save a document or open a document. This happens across all browsers when run in regular old Windows 7. I tried adjusting affinity and resetting tcp and reinstalling the network drivers and scanning for malware and yada yada yada.
I have made queries on Microsoft Connect and TechSupportForum and nothing I've tried is helping. This problem doesn't happen on my XP desktop at all, and very strangely, this doesn't happen in XP Mode on the same laptop at the same time as the issue surfaces in native win7. If I ping the gateway, I get timeouts at the same time as the issue manifests and I get longer response times when making network requests. I have been hammering this issue for the entire month and can't get past it. I've tried uninstalling Lenovo's Access Connection tool and that didn't help either. I tried this over the 82577LM gigabit wired adapter as well and have the same issues but they occur less than in wireless mode (which I would expect).
I am quite an expert on Windows, but this issue has brought me to my wits end. I am an inch away from blowing the preinstall away and starting from scratch, but I just don't want to invest so much time in reinstalling everything. I've had enough trouble with working around power management issues on this new laptop and I just want this fixed.
If you can solve this, I would be forever grateful. I feel like I'm in the empty hell of a network admin's nightmare.

Hello,
If go into the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), select View→Show Hidden Devices and examine the Non-Plug and Play Drivers tree, are there any old device drivers left over from previously installed security or connectivity software? If so, perhaps one of those is the culprit and disabling or uninstalling it will solve the problem.
Another possibility is that the automatic network tuning enhancements (a feature first introduced in Windows Vista) in Windows 7's network stack are changing the TCP window size until it reaches a value which is incompatible with your router. That is fairly simple to test, though: Open an elevated Command Prompt (filename: CMD.EXE) and issue a "netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled" command and see if that makes any difference. If that makes no difference, repeat the Netsh command with "autotuning=enabled" to restore the previous values and we can continue troubleshooting.

Even I cant believe this is happening again! i'm once again asking for help with my account. Since im very sick I ask that u look into my account and read the hell verizon has put me through and assist ending the hell once and for all even if that means

Even I cant believe this is happening again! i'm once again asking for help with my account. Since im very sick I ask that u look into my account and read the hell verizon has put me through and assist ending the hell once and for all even if that means ending my contract, i just want the hell over. I went into my bill tonight and the mess was still there I paid $110. that's what I owe

I guess I spoke too soon! I really can't believe this nightmare is not over yet! My account is still wrong. The credit that I was due totaled $63.00 I am looking at a message on my phone saying that $21.01 was credited which makes my balance $219.72. I received a text the following day that says, I processed your credit of $30.00 and your new balance $216.73 how is that possible? None of the late fees were credited and the amount due for my monthly charges are wrong. Before any changes were made to my data plan back in Nov. My monthly charges were $140.00, I needed my hot spot back and i was told that the hot spot will increase my bill $10 for each phone that totals $20. The customer rep that change my data plan at that time also gave me a credit of $20 to compensate for the increase until I had time to talk with customer service about the mix-up with my Hot spot. I originally had the hot spot, but the rep that change my plan almost a year prior told me nothing was changing except I was getting more for less money. I explained to that rep that I need my hot spot 4 times a year...and I don't want my plan to have any changes. To verify what I'm telling u check my account and see that I called from Albany New York wanting to know where my hot spot was and I was told I didn't have the hot spot on my account since the last data change! I lost money once again due to the verizon rep's. so my current data plan the rep promised would increase $20 which makes my monthly charges that were $140 prior to the change $160 after the hot spot was returned to my account. Then I was given a $12 credit per month for 12 months because of so many mistakes made to my account so with that $12 credit my monthly charges should $148 + surcharges + taxes and that's not what I see. I do know this much right now my account is in such a shambles I can hardly see the light at the end if there is an end! I need real help!
