I had verizon 3G, Pantech 190 modem on my HP G60-630, windows 7 and had no problems. Four day ago I upgraded to 4G, LG VL600 modem and it take a long time to get connected on line, and when it finally does connect it only works on a couple of minutes. by the time i type out a short email, it wont work anymore, even though the VZA manager still shows connected. I have found that to send the email, i have to disconnect in the VZA manager, wait a minute or so for it to search for 4g (which there is none in northern San Diego at this time), the when it finally is able to click on the connect button, I do so, it connects ok, send the already written email, and by then if I try to go anywhere on the internet, it might bring up the initial webpage, for instance EBay, but when i try to check out a product, it takes so long that it finally just says that the webpage cannot be viewed and to check my internet connection. VZA manager still shows connected. If i disconnect a minute or so, reconnect again it will work for another minute or so. Tech support tried many things but still not working. tech suggested trying on another computer. I tried it on my old desktop with windows XP and all is ok, in fact that i where i am right now typing out this issue here. I went back to my laptop, check my RAM usage, which is at 37%. ran the tune up pc utility in windows 7 help section. I do have norton internet security on this laptop, so i turned of the firewall and anything else i could find that pertained to internet. It still does the same thing, like it is timing out when i try to open a new webpage or go some where on a already opened page. I checked disk defragmenter, the analyze check said it was not needed, it was only 1% fragmented. guided by the verizon tech I uninstalled and reinstalled the VZA program and LG VL600 modem drivers. the tech said he thinks that my computer is having problems recognizing the modem. he even had me go to the verizon store and get another LG VL600 USB modem. still not working. I dont know where to go now.
