Data usage not shown, detecting service message
My 790S works fine but it constantly displays "Detecting Service" where it should display the useage. How can I fix this? Its a Big Pond device for use in UK or France

Hi stetaylor955,
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
As I understand, AC790s does not display the data usage. May I request for the following information:
- Is it both on device screen and AirCard app?
- Have you tried resetting the device?
- Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the app?
Kindly check if there is an available update available. Here's a reference of how to update firmware:

It displays "Detecting Service" on the device screen
Yes device has been reset
The app was installed recently
I'll check the firmware but it does say updates are OK (same thing?)
Now the hardware is giving problems I want to use it in your docking station on a semi permanent basis. Issues are:
There is no mechanichal support or guide for the hotspot to locate so it just hangs on the electrical socket. This connection has had an intermittent problem since new, I changed the docking station and connection has failed totally so no internet through the docking station. Antenna sockets are very shallow and poor so cables keep falling out. If the hotspot is constantly docked I get messages that the battery is full, is this detremental to the battery?
I could go on!

It is a Netgear product bought through Amazon UK. I don't know who Big Pond are?
So this is not very helpful?
