Re: Mandatory Firmware update on VZ 4620LE

The only one that makes any difference is the one the carrier has. In this case Verizon. It doesn't even matter if it's accurate. That's the one that is chiseled in stone. I could have 100 different numbers and all they would be is useless numbers.

I'm only saying because I've heard news about the means used by the big Internet providers to measure data usage for customers being flawed in many instances as personal monitoring from users got different results than what the ISP's tracking means were, indicating either the technology is flawed or the ISP is trying to push users close to their cap to incur overage fees/ penalties on those cutting it close to their data cap.

Accurate or not if Verizon says you are over the 20 GB cap then you are over. That's why I'm not going to waste my time on personal monitoring.

I think it's fine for those of us to keep track of what Verizon says we've used.

Have to pull the battery to make sure it is off, have had incidents where in the middle of a D/L other WiFi goes down, and the 4620LE doesn't always turn off, and it auto-connects to the MiFi.

Most times when you turn it off it reboots right back up.

Obvious Novatel firmware issue I'd say.

Anyone tried the Samsung MiFi adapter?

I just took the update. Now I can't log into the hotspot page in my browser. I click the Login button and nothing happens, not even an error message. I tried this with both Firefox 25.0.1 and Opera 12. The admin password matches what it was before the update. I know if worst comes to worst, I can factory reset the device, but am hoping to avoid that.

I'm glad it works for one of us. By the sound of things, I'm the only one encountering this problem.

Thank you, but the result is the same.

edit: Now it's telling me my admin password is incorrect even though it's what's shown on the device's LED. I tried the default one on the sticker and it won't accept that either. Should I just factory reset it?

edit: I just factory reset the device and it still won't accept the password.

Hate to say it, but you might have been hacked. Hopefully a factory reset will restore control. Be sure to immediately change the password to a totally new one.

I can't login at all, even after the reset.

Did you follow the specific reset instructions at »support.verizonwireless. ··· ml/55839 ?

Yes, I did that earlier. I just did it again to be on the safe side. No change.

The default admin password might be "admin"---not the one written on the label...

The default admin password could also be the last six characters of the MAC address. This is why it's potentially hackable---since MAC addresses can be easily viewed with the right software.

I did an ipconfig at the command prompt and it popped up with the following: Connection-specific DNS suffix, IPv6 address, Temporary IPv6 address, Link-local IPv6 address, IPv4 address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.

Which of these would be my MAC address?

since you did a reset everything is back to default. Don't you have a white label on the bottom of the Jetpack that has the default Admin password?

Yes. That's the one I've been entering since the reset and I still can't gain access.

try removing the SIM and powering up, then turn off. Reinsert the Sim and power up again.

Just did that. Nothing changed. Still no access. I type in my password, click the Login button and nothing loads.

perhaps you should try the factory reset again using the link that Diugo posted earlier

In Windows, get a "cmd" window then run "arp -a" in it to see the MAC address associated with each IP address on your LAN. The MAC address is of the form 12-34-56-78-90-ab, so the default admin password might be 7890ab in this example.
