Re: Mobile Broadband problem

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Alex,

What did Highway1/ZettaNet suggest?

Blue light Blinking (once every 2.9 seconds) Modem is registered to a UMTS 
network

What settings do you have for the Huawei E160E in System Preferences > Network
Select Huawei Modem in the left pane
Click on Advanced
What settings do you have there?

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hello WAMuggers
 
 I would appreciate some advice on this problem I have with my mobile 
 broadband through Highway1/ZettaNet.  (I also have a normal adsl for home 
 through them)
 
 I have a MacBook Pro Retina early 2013 running Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite.
 
 In October the MBB was working when I was in Pemberton.  Today I am in 
 Melbourne & it is not working.  I have not changed the OS in this time.
 
 They asked me to test on another machine which I did on an Acer & 
 ostensibly it was working.  So they say they can’t help me as it is 
 something to do with my machine.  They did send me a solution from 
 Lion/Mountain Lion days through pasamio.com  which I 
 followed but it only partially fixed the problem - now the the dongle is 
 recognised & I get a signal but there is no connection made.  I have 
 responded to them saying their response is not good enough.
 
 So any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  My response time 
 are a bit limited as I am attending a conference but I will respond when I 
 am free.
 
 Cheers,  Alex

Re: Time Capsule green light

Been there done that with no change either in behaviour or quoted version 
number so I assume I am up to date.

Hi Barry

When my Capsule flashes the orange light, I download the update and then it 
goes back to green.  Hope that helps

Re: Time Capsule green light

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter,

Are you sure you have the Time Capsule connected correctly to the NBN 
termination Box and setup correctly?

To see if your Time Capsule requires a firmware update:
Open Airport Utility
If AirPort Utility shows a numbered red badge next to the name of a base 
station, click it for details.
If the base station is protected by a device password, you might not see a 
badge until you click the base station and enter the password.
If your base station is already using the latest firmware, no firmware updates 
appear in AirPort Utility.

If a Firmware update appears - Install the Update 

More information here: >

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Time Capsule green light

[Barry Sexstone]

Peter

I have an Airport Express which has been exhibited a similar problem over the 
last couple of months.  The green light changes to a flashing orange but 
everything else behaves normally.  Sometimes I get fed up with it flashing and 
reset it by turning it off and then on again but it seems unnecessary.  I am on 
ADSL2 not NBN.
I will be interested in other’s comments
