Netgear Aircard 781S (AT&T UNITE PRO) firmware
Hello!
Please help, because there is a lot of people in my same situation:
I have an Aircard 781S.
The firmware is an old one (which update while I was on AT&T) and it does not autoupdate (OTA)
I read there are TWO new firmware versions for this and I need them because it is very buggy and almost unuseable (it locks, it reboots, etc).
Don't tell me that is AT&T managing the support because THEY DON'T.
Can someone from netgear just search on old sierrawireles/netgear archives and see if they can find a STANDALONE firmware update utility like the one for 782S???
I just wish to update it to a working stable version. And not by OTA.
Please help!

AT&T manages and publishes the firmware for both the Unite Pro and Unite Explore. You must be on AT&T to receive the updates.

My Aircard has been factory unlocked and I am not in U.S. anymore. It's AT&T duty to make the firmware update available even if I am not on AT&T network. And all is needed is the "classic" sierrawireless/netgear firmware update program for windows (or linux).
I bought the device and it's not at&t property. They can't do as they want. And the MUST (or you) provide a way to upgrade it.

AT&T doesn't have to do anything for your device. It's not on their network anymore, it's also probably out of warranty. There's no written responsibility assumed that they would service the device off of their network. I'm sure there are tools to reflash the device, but they aren't going to give it to you. I've been down this path with my own issues on the Unite Explore.

I don't care!
AT&T denies responsability and NETGEAR does that too.
The device is flawed.
Period.
And it has nothing to do with warranty.. it has always been flawed.
A sh*tty overpriced device that fortunately noit so many people bought.
