Kyoceras initial testing indicated that the new firmware will allow the Verizon Audiovox PC5750 to work in the
KR1, and to us that made perfect sense since the PC5750 is really the same Pantech PX500 card that Kyocera was testing on their end.
Wrong.
Since the release of RK1010 we've sold many
KR1 routers for use with PC5750, and most of those customers are happily using the combination without any issue.
However.
In the months that have passed since
RK1010 has been available, something in the hardware of the
KR1 or the PC5750 must have changed because we've had several recent customers have issues whenever the
KR1's WIFI is enabled. Turn off wifi, and connect to the KR1 only via ethernet and everything is fine. But operate with a PC5750 and
KR1 WIFI enabled, and problems started happening.
If you are a Solid Signal customer who has bought a
KR1 for use with PC5750 and are NOT having any issues... don't panic. We don't anticipate that the issue will happen to you in the future, if it hasn't already been giving you problems. The issues we are seeing with a few customers, only occur because of some recent hardware difference.
If you want a router with wifi for the PC5750 we would suggest the
Top Global router.
