I really doubt it has anything to do with com3 and com4, but you may be onto something with the modem. You should try disconnecting it. Since that hub is underpowered, it could still be causing the problem. See, all the devices including the wi-fi, modem, hub, PC, GPS, everything has capacitors that discharge over several minutes when the PC turns off, so waiting say an hour causes a larger surge than waiting several seconds. Too much can drop the voltage too low and mess things up when they are trying to initialize. That could very well be happening. You could test by unplugging the modem or wi-fi, or both. If that does fix it, find out how that hub was powered before.

Thanks! I'm taking in everything you're suggesting and hope to resolve it soon.

Yesterday when I resumed from hibernation from previous session where I specifically make sure no connection was active, the gps resumed fine!

I ended the day hibernating with an active connection just so I can duplicate the gps problem later today. I've a strong hunch it will happen. If so, I have to find a solution to terminate the connection automatically before hibernation sets in. Then I may be able to avoid meddling with the hub since the wireless adaptor and modem can resume without issue.

Fingers crossed.

It seems the com1 gps not resuming from hibernation issue only happen when I'm using MWconn. Weird as it can detect the system entering into standby or hibernation as there will be a MWconn pop-up status in the forground showing so. If I'm not using MWconn, it doesn't matter if my internet is connected or not as the com1 gps can resume fine from hibernation.

So don't use MWconn?

Maybe MWconn is keeping it turned on, and so it's using more power. You could try playing with the Power Management settings for the modem or the hub in Device Manager under USB.

Yeah. I've currently disabled MWconn till I'm sure the com1 gps can resume consistently for a week or so before I can be certain. I can do w/o MWconn though. I'm on an unlimited plan so I don't use it to manage my connection but rather to relay the connection mode and signal strength reading to Logodash plugin for CF on the main page where I can see these readings easily rather than having to toggle to the desktop.

When I'm certain I will look for a solution if it's worth it to use MWconn again cos there are pple who is complaining that they can't hibernate due to active connection and others recommending them to use MWconn which will terminate the connection before hibernating and yet while I'm not facing hibernation issue as a whole, I'm facing problem resuming from hibernation when using it.

Not sure if the hub has the option to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" (my Asus Wireless-G doesn't have but previous Compex have, probably such support are built into certain drivers as default) but I've certainly enable it for the modem. Will look into this area as well.
