AT&T Beam / Aircard 340U not recognized by Ultrabook PC (Windows 10)
MY 340U is not recognized by my machine when inserted. It appears as though it is stuck in some kind of constant restart loop - The AT&T logo will appear of its screen for a couple seconds, then go b...
zactly, Maybe this is just a matter of symantecs, but I don't feel like this is a "solution", but rather a "work-around".
If you had read my further posts on this thread, I already explored the "usb hub" work-around. While it is functional, and I use it in emergencies, it requires that I carry around yet another peice of hardware that I would much rather not have to carry with me.
So, I decided to get a usb 3.0 hub, with a built in ethernet port, since the XPS 15 does not have one of those either. At least now this extra hardware that I must carry with me servce more than one purpose.
Thanks for your reply to this thread.

SOLUTION FOUND!
I have the same AirCard and the same Dell XPS 15 and having the same problem, but just got it fixed today.
First Problem.
The card restarts over and over with the ATT logo.
SOLUTION: buy a cheap USB hub, and plug the AirCard into it. For some reason, the AirCard doesn't like the USB 3.0 ports on the Dell XPS. After I did this, the card said "Ready to Connect".
Second Problem
The computer would no reconginze the device.
SOLUTION: Download the drivers from Netgear and manually instal them in the Device Manager.
Details:
Download the drivers and extract into folder on your desktop for ease of use. Hit Windows Key + X, then choose Device Manager. Look under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Then right-click, "USB Mobile Braodband Network Adapter Module", and choose "Update Driver Software". Then "Browse My Computer". Then "Let Me Pick". Then "Have Disk". Browse to downloaded drivers. Select Drivers->swnc8u00. Then choose "Sierra Wireless TRU-Install. Click YES to Install driver, even though its not recommended. Now its says "Modem Detected". Now just uplug the aircard and plug it back in and it WORKS!
Also, be sure and download the Netgear AirCard Wtcher. It has a nice connect button when you're ready to go LIVE.
