No Device Attached

I have a MBR1515 that boots up and provides the following lights

power - green

wireless - blue blinking

4G LTE - blue

Signal - blue

WPS - green

 

I log into the router and it says I do not have internet access.  I then navigate into the "Mobile Broadband Settings" and my connection status is "NO Device Attached.  I hit the "Connect" button and it detects the mode, goes to Negotiating -> Connecting -> Not Connected -> Detecting Modem -> No Devices Attached -> Detecting Modem -> Scanning -> Connecting -> Not Connected

 

My access number is *99***3#

APN vzwinternet

 

I've reached out to Verizon but they say it's something with the device since the sim works in other MBR1515's that we have.

 

anyone ever have a problem like this before?

    Hello thor1470

     

    Have you tried to do a factory reset the modem you hold down the reset button for 10 seconds and it will factory reset the modem and you will have to reconfigure the modem.

      I just tried doing the factory restore and afterwards I'm still at the same spot.  Any other options?

      Hello, i was sorta glad to read someones response to thew same problems??, however, i am clueless in the PC, wireless, and broadband world??, but i have been wondering if it might make any difference??, if i follow what the manual states??, Possible upgrading the modem Module ,? what ever that is ??

      or(" updating)" the Firmware in this device?? presently it states in upper right corner of page that its Version V1.2.2.68

      and the modem driver version is V1.7, and does any one know what that means , upgrade the module???

My ISP says my sim card is working and active , I am not a tech savy girl,so any advice, or clues one may give would be a blessing , Thank you in advance,All Eagerbecky/help if you wish me to send more technical data about the units settings , pleasre advise , i am more than happy to give what ever data is needed about this problem, Thanks to all who have read my post ,Eagerbecky

      unfortunately, no.  we had a spare one in reserve that I used to swap out as no solution has been found.  the factory reset did nothing and if I swap the sim card into another device it works, so the issue is done to the device itself.
