My Embedded Mobile Broadband device is not getting detected by the Connection Manager even though the WWAN drivers are installed

  • Article

This applies to Mobile Broadband devices that are embedded into the
Laptop.

  1. In most of the cases the WWAN or Mobile Broadband
    device needs to be turned on explicitly using a utility provided by the OEM
  2. These utilities are not part of the Driver
    Installation package and hence needs to be downloaded directly from the OEM
    website.
  3. Please go through the Prerequisite or System
    requirement section of the Driver Installer webpage in the OEM website.

e.g:

For HP Compaq 6515b Notebook PC, the WWAN broadband driver installer
webpage has a System
Requirements section that lists the prerequisites for installing this
driver. In this case the HP
Wireless Assistant needs to be installed before installing the WWAN
broadband driver.

Hope you find this useful.
