Re: 4G LTE Data-stick Mac/Linux/Windows-other authentication information.

I can get this to work on Ubuntu, and the settings are different here.  If anyone has Ubuntu working, can you tell me what you have for these settings:

 

Basic:

Number: *777 (#777 didn´t work either)

Username: Mynumber@vzw4g.com

Password: vzw

 

Advanced:

APN: vqwinternet

Network ID: <blank>

Type: Any

PIN: <blank>

 

Any suggestions?  The modem is working, and Ubuntu clearly is trying to connect, but it times out.

 

Thanks!

I see you're safely on 4G,  so you shouldn't have all the problems we're working on on the links below.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit @ 4G with little trouble.  Here's my settings:

 

default phone : *99#,  APN: vzwinternet  Password:{edited for privacy}  Your connect type should be : Any 

 

 

Much of the information that Verizon needs is wired into your SIM chip; User Name etc..   And Willz99 has covered it in detail elsewhere.   You can manipulate those settings by following what we learned from IreBlue here:

Be sure to read to the end because I offered some wrong info in places.

But I'm still having peculiar clunky problems:   If the signal drops Ubuntu disconnects (VZAccess forgives).

I have to check the Enable BroadBand checkbox (right-click Connections)  when it's offered, When it's not offered all I know to do is re-load.   I've found that the Ubuntu works AFTER I've connected in my XP partition  -  Which begs the issue, Why am I bothering with Ubuntu?

 

A bunch of us are working on getting Linux distro's to work with the Pantech290 in 3G territory.  Help out.
