I get a connection error with 2101

I called in. The guy has advised me to remove the SIM card, wait for a couple of minutes and reinsert it. Apparently the verizon routers keep some memory regarding that SIM somewhere on their servers. So it may be good to refresh this once in a while.

Not sure if the simple act of reinserting works or if you have to call in to refresh the SIm memory on their servers

what I have is UML 290

I don't think it is the best form factor or modem

A bit erratic. very fast when it works. You may need a laptop with multiple usb ports if you want to use it with out a tether.

Verizon software or modem has problems with windows updates on 3/25/2013!!!

satya - 3/26/2013 8:22:16 AM

Symptom: modem disconnects continuously...

satya - 3/26/2013 8:23:13 AM

quick fix: I had to uninstall the windows updates...

I will debug later. The rep suggested I reinstall the vzaccess manager after the updates. So I have downloaded it from vzam.net.

i haven't tried it yet!!!

I have waved the wand of regsvr32 to register vbscript.dll and jscript.dll

as advised in numerous posts....None worked. So I suspected McAfee may be blocking it. I am in the good context of getting it uninstalled anyway, so I thought let me see if I can uninstall it and see vzam installation works.

Guess what, mcafee just doesn't work. It shows blank screens. Tried uninstall. Same blank screens. Almost playing dead....

Here is some documentation on MCPR.exe from mcafee

you will need this program to download. But pay attention to what site you download it from. Make sure it is from a well known site to avoid viruses creeping in through the trojans.

So I have uninstalled mcafee and installed bitdefender as I have a 3 machine license

I don't if other virus product does this but the 3 machine license is very nice of bitdefender.

Now back to my original problem of reinstalling VZAM

and see if that fixes the instant disconnects of the uml 290. It installed successfully. that was last night.

This morning connected the uml 290 and it seem to work well so far. It is about 15 minutes stable connection!!!
