Not all wireless carriers offer 4G LTE coverage. When you are in areas where the carrier’s coverage offers 3G or less, you may experience reduced performance or interruptions of your Internet service. Don’t worry, though, it’s not a problem with your hotspot and your service will continue like normal once you reenter an area with the required coverage.
In some case you can ask why does my available 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot internet connection sometimes run slow or show that no internet connection is available?
The coverage for the built-in Wi-Fi Hotspot depends on the wireless carrier network coverage. When you are in areas where coverage fluctuates, performance may be impacted. In a 2G-coverage area, the Wi-Fi Hotspot will not work. In a 3G‑coverage area, streaming data or video to your devices may result in the degradation of your service. View the coverage map.
Also, the vehicle ignition needs to be in the “Run” or “Accessory” position for the Wi-Fi Hotspot to be active.
Connect your mobile devices to your 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot and get a reliable connection up to 50 feet (15 metres ) from your vehicle.
Up to seven devices can be connected simultaneously to the Wi-Fi Hotspot.
