3Change the place where you use

If the signal icon and communication mode are both not showing in 2 Check the signal strength, try moving your WiMAX2+.

You may not be able to communicate, or communication speed may slow down in places (such as underground floors, inside tunnels, between buildings, mountain areas, etc.) where signal is hard to reach.
If you are indoors, there may be difficulties getting connected if WiMAX is placed near home appliances such as microwave which emits electromagnetic wave, or another wireless LAN device. Try placing the WiMAX near a widow so that it can catch the signal.
Also, please note that WiMAX signal may not be available in upper floors of high-rise constructions.
