Questions & Answers

What is the system requirement for Linux? Linux mint, Debian, Red Hat? Ubuntu, Linux mint, Linux debian or Red Hat?

By entering the APN settings, I got it to work on Ubuntu

What happens when it's activated? Do I need to connect it to my laptop in order to use Will I need a cellphone plan if I don't have a credit card? Perhaps there's another accessory we should add?

There is a data plan you need to purchase. A cell phone is just like that. To activate mine, I went to the Cricket store. I like the fact that it uses the AT&T network

With a macbook and a google project fi sim, I'm trying to get this to work. I plug this in and all I get is a blinking green light every 2 seconds. Where do we go from here?

The software worked with my computer, after installing software and pinning multiple times, and using the Google Fi SIM. It took just a couple of minutes to recognize. Usually, it takes a minute for lte to connect and for the flashing to go to The GL version worked. Infinite Networking Environment with It is MT300N-based This is a V2 travel hotspot, which uses autoconfigure, but it takes a couple of minutes to configure. A connection to the Internet has been made In the United States, mobile phones are ubiquitous

I cannot activate the program after installing it all. The Tools menu does not contain an activation option. Also, the hardware is not recognized by the software. Is it not working?

In order to activate it, you'll need to stop by a Cricket Wireless retail store. Do not use the SIM card included in the box, but rather the SIM card provided by the store.

A SIM CARD FOR A MOBILE TABLET! Since moving to the woods, this is exactly what I needed
5/5

As you know, I'm going to have to With the unlocked phone that I purchased from ebay I was able to register that line as a hotspot line because it has unlimited data, unlike the more expensive unlocked phone. I have tried both the unlocked phone and the pre-paid phone. The product is such an incredible value that anyone looking to save some cash on backcountry internet has to have it. You can expect at least as good a reception as you would get from your phone. You can find below directions that I wrote to help your whole family experience this connection! Now, for those of you who are looking to share the same connection with Windows 10's built-in hotspot, that's not an option. I kinda do. When its not connected, you must change the modem setting from "modem" to "NDIS" in the cricket application settings if you want it to work otherwise you will not be able to This will be the most difficult part. Open up a notepad and paste in the following text while editing it to fit Set hosting mode to allow, and then set the username to your wei. nn name and your password to your wi. nn key, and set the persistency option to a persistent one. Connect to your internet connection and then save the file. I suggest you use "instead of The text "TXT". Click the and then click again. Run the . bat file to get the network up and running. The network will be hosted by Microsoft and it will be a cellular device by Huawei. Choose the properties option from the right-click menu when you select the cellular network. The sharing tab should appear once you click it - allow other devices to connect to the new Microsoft You are now finished, and you can share your internet! I know that this is a bit of an inconvenience during the initial set up process, but it is necessary if you would like your connection to serve the entirety of the.

In order for my Surface Book 2 to travel with LTE connectivity, I purchased this USB adapter
5/5

In order to receive my data, I ordered this The only SIM to stick in there is from Google Fi You will need an adapter to convert from nano-SIM to standard-SIM! This is a good option if you buy the "mobile SIM starter kit" (B00LPPHHFK) via PrimeNow, as it includes the adapter for SIM cards). In my experience, I am typically able to get between 20 and 80Mbps down over LTE, and around 10 to 20Mbps up over LTE The Data-Entry window appears when you click on With your Google Fi only SIM, you will be linked to the T-Mobile network This is the network of Mobile. As far as the modem is concerned, the network operator should be listed To setup the modem on Windows 10, you'll need to install the Huawei MobilePartner software, which installs the driver that exposes three serial port interfaces ("PC UI Interface" is the one for entering AT commands manually to control and monitor the modem". Apparently the APN does not need to be defined (I seems to be able to connect with and without it). Management of Profiles The number is After this is set, you will no longer need to use this software (but the driver still needs to be In addition, you can set the APN over the serial interface with the AT+CGDCONT command (search for "connecting an APN with AT commands" for more information).

Backup LAN solution which works well for ASUS routers
5/5

the device is doing exactly what I needed it to do after a single day of testing. I. - br>1. The app works perfectly on the TMOBILE LTE network. am not getting much data with it, but I do have a fairly poor connection to my location. The second item The AC3200-series WAN) as backup. My real reason for purchasing this device was for this purpose. As soon as the ASUS recognizes the device, it begins working out of the box without any configuration required. In my experience, it crosses over fairly successfully, I've had to reset the router once or twice, but it normally works just fine. In addition, the router comes with an external antenna port if you plan on using it somewhere that requires an external antenna.

This package works on Configured a Raspberry Pi successfully to use the cable to connect to T-Mobile With PPP0, mobile phones are replacing ancient T-Mobile handsets There is a new version of Mobile Jet
5/5

I agree that the old HSPA+ modem is much faster. It appears that a wwan0 interface is present when the modem is connected. However, I have not been able to connect with T-Mobile. There is no such thing as mobile, which is a shame because it I decided to give this book four stars rather than five. If I discover a way to improve it, I will increase the number of stars. A quick update Raspbian's QMI allowed me to accomplish what I desired To connect the T-Mobile network, you'll need a network software program The result is very good and I am.

Project Fi would be perfect for this
5/5

Project Fi would be perfect for this Cricket software is required to use this dongle with Fi (you can even point at You can check your data usage each time you connect on the Project Fi website through the connection page). It is the Fi Nano-SIM that is the most difficult part of the installation. It is not possible to select a full-service plan Customers of Fi must use a "nSIM-size" SIM according to Fi Customer Support. Since I had used my SIM adapter in another device already, and my Fi SIM was still attached to the little punch-hole-sized adapter, I did not have to buy another one. Using an SD card I received along with it, I created a ghetto SIM card SIM sized around the nano-SIM (so that the contacts would line up where they were supposed to) and cut out a SIM-shaped hole This is the area of the card that holds the NanoSIM. It has a little thickness, but keeps the card exactly where it needs to be. I didn't have to pay an adapter $2 more.
