Greg,
have you checked your router?

I had the same problem when I forst installed mine. A friend with one of the very latest tablets could detecty computer when the modem was online, but I could not connect my computer to the internet. Once I sorted out the Router, it worked OK. For the record, I use a TP-LINK TL-WN721N Router, Purchased from the Telstra Shop where I bought my Sierra Modem.

By the way - the overheating does not occur in aircon. On a hot Brissie day,everything overheats,including me. I have now had the Sierra Modem for more than a year, and it is still going OK.

Regards......Ralph.

After I purchased the Sierra Ultimate Wi Fi Modem from Telstra I noticed how hot it ran.

On my office desk on a typical Brisbane day, the modem had a single sheet of paper over it. It shut down, with hte message, "Temperature Critical".

If you had it in your pocket, I am sure it would eventuall overheat. I would suggest you put it on the table beside you, rather than in your pocket.

Regards......Ralph.

Hey mate,
I have now written two reviews of the Sierra Wireless Modem and you have printed neither.One was when I had first bought it, and the next after about two months. Weren't they favfourable enough for you?

The first review was highlighting its possible weakness - oveheating.

The second ws confirming that.

Regards......Ralph.
