anyone has any issue connecting to a mobile hot spot? it has been a problem for me on my Fujistu life book, thinking of getting a window8 tablet

When this tablet initially came out a year ago I read several reviews that mentioned this issue, however, software and driver updates have eliminated this issue. Personally, I have never had an issue connecting to a mobile hotspot unless it was restricted to "only allowed devices" in which case the tablet's MAC address must be provided to the hot spot device in order to connect.

There was a patch for this tablet to help with the wifi issue. Once it's installed, I have not had any problems.

Hi F. Lee ~~ The key to good wi-fi connections seems to be to upgrade programs and drivers on any device. As for Windows 8, I LOVE it! It's intuitive, practical and fun. Take that naysayers. :) The Acer Iconia is fast, the screen is beautiful, and it's reliable.

hey boss hows it goin? I have only used it on android but im pretty sure it will work on those os. when u try to use it u need a software called serial magic that doesnt come included with the purchase. The version you need is serial magic professional. Get that and u'll be good to go. I know android is 50 but unsure of the windows version. Cheers

I agree with Christian. The seller is great about customer service and treated me well - even though I also had a bad unit. They may even be able to help you with the connection issue with your device. Good luck!

I have the Freedom Spot Photon 4G and that all I need to provide wifi hot spot for my laptop, tablet, and smart phones. I do not have USB modem. I believe it serves the same function but you can only connect to device that has USB port and only one at a time. Wayne

I also feel that it took time to obtain the IP address from my wireless router when starting it back from the sleep mode. I applied the steps that D@rkFX, mentioned earlier, but seems it doesnt work for me.? Xoom is great otherwise.

I've had no issues with it not connecting to wifi, downloading apps, or anything else so far. I did have an issue with my nook not reading the card but after contacting the seller, they sent me a new one and it has worked great. Try reaching out to the seller - he was fast to respond to my issue and quickly sent me a replacement. Good luck!

Every once in awhile my tablet would freeze, but only after a significant amount of constant use. Does this person have alot of apps downloaded? There may be a virus or it also could be the internet signal. Can you tell me more about the specific of what its doing and the problem? I may be able to try to help. Cathleen Garcia

In theory, it exists. Still can't find it. Customer non-service has yet to reply to my request for their Windows app. It' s not on Google Play, iTunes, or their website. The website listed in the manual including the IP Address does not exist - and I've tried it from four different networks to be sure I was not imagining things. The Apple and Droid platforms do nothing on my Win7 laptop. The fact it was not hard-loaded onto the drive from the factory is also a bad sign. Most companies do that as a backup measure to get you going.

Mine has a setting for hot spot. Under System Settings I go to Network and Connections. Under Connectivity Services is Mobile Hotspot. A Verizon store told me they can add Mobile Hotspot for additional charge if I want it. Because my home gets so little signal I haven't tried the Mobile Hotspot to see if and how it works.

What did you upgrade to? The IPAD? I just got my HP Tablet today and was not aware they were discontined. It's really cool but I'm worried about the warrenty and lack of support.

It's funny... I had the same concerns. But there is a new driver that fixed a big portion of that. But truthfully... The tablet draws fine. Most of the jitter I saw on the YouTube demos was due to pulling lines in their software incorrectly. I put out a Web comic each week, and have no problems. Feel free to check out the lines if you're curious. 1d4Rounds.com And contact us on there with any questions... Im happy to answer any questions I can.

In the beginning I had some issues with some apps (not wanting to load). What I found out that instead of the tablet connecting to my wifi to my wireless router it was trying to connect to a neighbors. So after I got everything all set up with gmail, then setting up with my current home internet email, I found that there was a button on my router that I had to push in order for the tablet to find my internet service. After that I have had no problems with installing apps from the google store. The only thing that will give you issue is if the app is not supported by Google store/play. I hope this helps.

Hello,I bought the Xyboard for my fiancé. He would be able to assist you with this. How did the tablet stop working? Did you try to do the update for Jellybean?

Try getting very close to your router, like less than 2 feet away, sounds silly but this worked for me it seems this tablet wont pick up wifi at any distance even if it shows signal.

It can serve as a wifi hot spot. Any device with wireless apater or wifi capability should be able to connect to this device.
