Verizon MiFi Constant Disconnect / Reconnect
For $59/mo shouldn’t this Verizon MiFi be able to maintain a connection without constantly disconnecting and re-connecting. It offers amazingly poor service and while I’m not opposed to the fee I really question why anyone wouldn’t just use a solution like PDANET which tethers your laptop to an existing smartphone connection.
The image above is what I typically see with the Verizon MiFi — constant dormant state messages which results in a dropped connection which results in your laptop hanging as if there’s no Internet (which there isn’t).
If you’re a fan of staring at your web browser while it say’s “waiting…” then the Verizon MiFi just might be for you!
