Re: Can I sell my 4620LE (for someone to use on VZW?)
Did you buy your uml290 new or used? I just received everything today and at first I tried out the 4620. It only gave me 2 LTE bars but it was getting me 5mbps but would drop connection now and then. What sucks is that my ext antenna cable is a bit too big to put in the ext antenna port so I had to do some modifying using a knife. Even then I was only getting 2 bars again but a bit more stable.
I then got my uml290 that I bought off of ebay used. I swapped the sim cards using the adapter I bought off of amazon and shoved it in my cradlepoint mbr95. I was getting a 90% signal but only getting 3mbps. I thought it might have to be updated or so so I installed the verizon access manager and attempted to connect but it was telling me that it needs a firmware. I think this is where I screwed up....
It was working fine in my cradlepoint but after I did the firmware upgrade I started getting a weaker signal and slower speeds. I put it back in my cradlepoint and still slow speeds.
im pretty much getting the same speeds I was getting with my old advanced plan. And im not using my ext antenna right now, too much plastic blocking it.....
now this is faster then my advanced plan and I could live with this but I see people getting faster speeds which i wouldnt mind having too lol. -- »mc-buildville.enjin.com/
Sorry, I haven't checked this thread in a few days.
Make sure you have the antenna plugged into the port that looks like a satellite dish on it. There are two antenna ports on the UML290, and you want to be in the one with the dish on it. (See »3gstore.com/device/113_verizon_p···290.html)
Also, I set my UML290 to 4G only with the VZ Access Manager software.
What kind of antenna are you using? Do you get any better data rates if you drive closer to the tower?
You may want to make a new thread (just so you get more visibility with a more logical title) and post your issues with your SINR/RSSI numbers. Some of the folks here are very good at narrowing down signal issues.
