serial modem

thomic1 · 04-30-2009, 01:38 PM

I recently upgraded (tried) a verizon aircard to their new Novatel wireless 727 serial modem on a laptop. Everything worked fine on the installation, however when I connected to the internet, the modem wouldn't get beyond initial connection. It registered up to about 3-5kb packets transferred, and then goes dormant never once allowing webpage loading. Kinda stumped on this one. Got any ideas?

Try it in another USB port. If you have connected it to a USB1.1 then it won't give you anything.

Thanks for the input, but I have. I've tried it in another port, unplugging/plugging it back in, reassigning the com number, unload/reloading the software and device. I did notice I couldn't activate the new modem either, perhaps that's the issue?
Thanks
