6. Using the software and USB E1762 modem
Checking Status
Once plugged in, the USB E1762 Modem will immediately search for our network.
The information in the bottom left corner of the software indicates signal strength (the more bars, the better!)
and which network you are connected to a GPRS, UMTS or HSDPA network.
If you only pick up a 2G (GPRS) signal when connected to the Internet, try moving locations to improve your
connection. Like any mobile device, physical location and barriers (walls, basement) can aect signal strength
and consequently your internet speeds.
