But of course she was totally unable to diagnose or fix the problem, simply offering to mail a replacement device to my home. Although no mobile providers tech-support line has ever been able to help me with anything, the Verizon tech was surprisingly knowledgeable and friendly. In a fit of whimsy, I decided to contact Verizon customer service about the issue. The MiFi simply would not connect to Verizon’s network.

Low and behold, a document described why and how to update to the newest version, 2.23. While traveling in San Diego, I decided to have a look at the Verizon webpage to see if the new firmware version had been released in the last few months. Early on, I also had issues switching between CDMA and LTE but these were resolved in a previous firmware update. I’ve had many issues with it, including a refusal to connect to Wi-Fi devices in a vexing issue where it will not stay powered on while plugged in.

But it caused one massive issue: the thing stopped working entirely. On a whim, while traveling, I discovered a new software update that promise to fix many of the vexing issues I’ve had.

Isn't this thing supposed to be easy and reliable?Īlthough I love Verizon’s super-fast LTE service, I’ve had no end of trouble with my Novatel 4510L MiFi device.
