MR6150 keeps searching for the network
I just received my MR6150. It worked great in the first few days, and I plugged it in on the desk to charge the battery last night. In the morning, it kept searching for the network, so I power cycled it, and about an hour later, it was still searching. Occasionally, it is connected and then starts searching again. The SIM card has no issue on my mobile.
Did anyone know what I could do to keep it connected?
Thanks, Marian.

You might check with your ISP. Some SIM card plans aren't designed for hotspots or are data limited in hotspots. So they'll work for the first few gigs of data and then disable it because its considered "hotspot" usage and not phone usage. It'll work fine in the phone but only allow a set data limit in a hotspot. The cellular operating is going to know if thats whats going on.
Try a factory reset and setup from scratch?
What cell service is it connecting too?
What FW version is loaded on it?
My 6150 is on ATT and always connects. .54 version of FW is current on it.
