AT&T Beam / Aircard 340U not recognized by Ultrabook PC (Windows 10)

MY 340U is not recognized by my machine when inserted. It appears as though it is stuck in some kind of constant restart loop – The AT & T logo will appear of its sieve for a couple seconds, then go blank, then the logo appears agian, then it goes space agian, etc. I have a Dell 9350 ( XPS 15 ) Ultrabook that I purchased from Dell Outlet less than a year ago. I upgraded the OS from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 the second day I had the machine. I have updated the system BIOS and all drivers to the latest versions. I besides have a Netgear AC340U ( AT & T Beam ) that I recently purchased from AT & T. I have updated the Firmware to the latest interpretation available from Netgear at this site : hypertext transfer protocol : //kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26983/~/aircard-340u- ( at % 26t-beam ) -downloads-and-docum … I had to use a unlike laptop to do this- Yes, The 340U seems to work just fine on 3 other personal computer ‘s in my house ; just not this one.

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 ! Smiley Sad 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 .
