Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

No WiFiRanger Service
Permalink  

I know a lot of you use WiFi Ranger products. Have you ever needed help? I can't get my Millenicom hotspot to tether to the GO2. I called the support number at WiFi Ranger and got a voice mail. They never called back. Sent them an Email, I get a generic reply about power booting. I'd already done that about 30 times. So, did I screw up in buying from WiFi Ranger? Has anyone else experienced this lack of service? Does anyone know any tricks to getting the hotspot and the Ranger to talk to each other? It seems as if the Pantech recognizes the Ranger but the Ranger does not recognize the Pantech.

OK, I'm through venting now!

The GO2 works fine wireless, just won't tether. Hope your works better than mine.

You can open a support ticket with WFR from their website:

www.wifiranger.com/support

They are generally very responsive, but they are a small team.

Our Pantech and WFR Go2 tether just fine.. no tricks, just works.


(All WFR products are purchased via the WiFiRanger.com website as well - the Go2 is listed under the RV stuff)

old, but may help someone else in future.

there are apparently a few tricks, if you have a mifi and want to tether it (i have a 290 usb modem, so dont do this)

 

you need to select the tether option (apparently ) on the mifi/291 control panel.

Hey y'all,
I know about the tethering mode. I wish it was that easy. I tried all that I knew and the crew at WiFi Ranger worked it for days. The firmware version of my Pantech mifi is different from the one they had, so they contacted Pantech to see if they could get one with my version. Bad news...Pantech is in bankruptcy. So, the only way I can use my Pantech 291 with my WiFi Ranger is wirelessly. I hate it because I wanted the Wifi Ranger to be the only transmitter transmitting.
If anyone knows any other tricks, I'll be glad to try them.

Joe
