Hi guys
I have purchased this device recently and i am facing some issues:-
1)Sometimes even after switchin on the device , there is no wifi signal which is generated(happens one out of 5 times) and the device lights gets stuck which means no matter how much i press the power on off button, it doesnt switch off(So have to remove the battery and start). Since wifi doesnt come, have to press the reset button.
2)Sometimes No internet access comes when i try connecting it to my
laptop via wifi. Then i have to switch it on and off for it to work.
3)Major problem as of now is the lights get switched on and get into a hang mode from which nothing can be done other than removing the battery.
Problems #1) and #3) seem to indicate a faulty device. I don't have any such problem. You may want to get it replaced under warranty.
As for problem #2), I have also recently started getting this a fair amount. Not sure why. One solution is to restart it, as you said. The quicker solution is to keep the wireless connected and go to 192.168.1.1 and click on disconnect and then connect. This process takes 20 seconds and is quicker than restarting it.
The other thing I have noticed is that the best practice is to switch it on before connecting the USB (which you would do in case you want the device to charge while using it). Then let it boot up and connect to the 3G network, which will be indicated by a ebbing blue light. Then connect it to USB. Connecting it in the middle can lead it to get confused.
