I have a Slate 7 (GL-BE3600) that is randomly dropping my tethering connection with a TCL LINKPORT IK511 5G Dongle. To test, I removed the usb cable from the Slate 7 and plugged it back in. I get green lights on the dongle showing cellular connectivity and it registering with the Slate 7 as connected, but there is no internet connectivity. I have unplugged the dongle after that and plugged into my laptop just to prove the dongle will still get online. The only way I can get the Slate 7 to get back online is to reboot it, then everything is fine. I am wondering if there is some sort of bug in the firmware that is causing this. I have tried the stable release and also tested with 4.7.1 release 1. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!
