Thinking this must be a Dell issue, I contacted Dell Tech Support. After remotely connecting to my personal computer and re-installing all the like drivers I already had, they had me perform a few tests : I plugged in a 1.5TB external USB 3 HDD – It worked equitable fine. I plugged in a small 8GB flash drive – It worked merely finely. I plugged in my iPhone 6Plus – It worked good ticket. I plugged in an old AC313U – It worked just finely. I plugged in the 340U – It did what it always does on this machine : nothing. The Dell technician suggested I contact AT & T or Netgear to see if they could help.
AT & T Tech support is a joke – They told me that I needed to contact Dell or Netgear. Netgear subscribe told me that it sounded like a Dell emergence and they would not help me becuase I purchased the device from AT & T. so cipher wants to help and obviously Customer Service in general died a long time ago ! I did some more google and found this community. I read a pair other posts regarding the 340U ( & 341U ) where some folks were having alike experiences with an HP Ultrabook and a MS Surface Book. so, now I am thinking this actually is an issue with the 340U and that it might barely not be getting enough world power to start up properly. In one of those early posts ( which was closed ), the bill poster seemed work around the emergence by using a power USB hub, or a cable that allows the device to draw ability from two USB ports, rather of just one. The other person with the MS Surface Book issue did not yet seem to find a resolution.
I wat to see if there are any early folks out there with this device ( 340U or 341U ) having issues or requiring some work-arounds to get it to work on an ultrabook. Please add comments below. Any help would be appreciated .
