Re: Can't Get USB Tethering Working

Just wanted to post an update for those who were helpful. I ended up bricking the Linksys router, so I started the process again with my WE826. I got to the same roadblock but then decided to try using my Galaxy S10 as the source. Suddenly it was working. When I hooked up the S7 again, it worked ...

Re: Can't Get USB Tethering Working

I'm stuck with Verizon since it's the only carrier that has a signal in my area. In fact, I have two T-Mobile modems in boxes to go back to the carrier right now. I was really hoping the new T-Mobile Home Internet offer was going to work for me, but the signal is pretty much nonexistent. If anyone ...

Re: Can't Get USB Tethering Working

Made that change. Still won't allow a WiFi connection, but working great via the cable.

Re: Can't Get USB Tethering Working

I will try it. Is this in place of the two lines in Bill's post? Also, is Verizon 117 or 65?

Re: Can't Get USB Tethering Working

It's on Verizon. I just discovered something else: I can access the internet via the LAN cable, just not WiFI. Also, I had been using the USB 3 port on the router until I discovered there was a regular USB port, so I just switched to that, which I think is when it started working via cable.

Re: Can't Get USB Tethering Working

I should also add that I can't get it working via WiFi, either. Whenever I try to connect via WiFi (after changing the settings per the instructions), I get an incorrect password message (but it is the correct password).

Can't Get USB Tethering Working

Happy New Year everyone! I'm attempting to set up USB tethering with a Samsung Galaxy S7 and a Linksys WRT 3200 ACM router, but I can't seem to make it work.

I'm following BillA's instructions quoted here:

*** Tethering a phone to a router via USB ***

First, turn off WiFi on the phone and make ...

Re: NOOB WE826 and EM7565 Activation Question

Thank you, Jim. As long as there are no performance differences, I'll just activate my old phone IMEI. Verizon's tablet plans are outrageously expensive and have tiny data caps. Can you believe $50 for 8Gigs of data? And that's their big-data plan! There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to ...

NOOB WE826 and EM7565 Activation Question

I ordered a WE826 and EM7565 combo. When I got my invoice, I used the IMEI number and tried to activate it on a Verizon unlimited prepaid plan. They said they couldn't activate that modem. Should I simply activate a phone I'm not using and use that SIM card, or do I need to order the MC7455 instead?
