Help needed for Error 678

That error is very familiar. I encounter that back in the days when I was still using a prepaid internet service using a 3G mobile broadband USB stick. You will receive that error when your subscription or internet subscription is over and you try to connect to the internet using a USB broadband stick.

If you are using a USB broadband dongle, try checking if your subscription is still valid. That error is thrown back because the server doesn’t respond when you try to connect to the service due to invalid subscription. If you are subscribed on a monthly volume, check that you still have available data in your volume and you haven’t consumed your entire volume yet.

If you already consumed your entire monthly volume and you still have several days before the refresh date, your internet connection will be cut off until the refresh date. If you still have a valid subscription or remaining volume, try transferring the USB stick to another USB port. Use all available USB ports to troubleshoot the problem.

Also, check that your USB stick receives a good signal in your location. If you have a low signal reception, transfer to another location or use a USB extension cable to place the USB stick on a much higher spot to receive a strong signal.
