LBR20 keeps disconnecting from LTE

I just got one of the new LBR20 Obri routers with LTE connection.  I was looking forward to this product for quite a while as I live in a rural area without high speed access and all I have available...

    I check daily. I am not going to move back to this device until you all confirm that it fixed the problems. I need to swap out to a new sim again and don’t want to do that until I know it’s been fixed.

      MR5100 on eBay for $400 sold my Orbi and my new MR1100 financed by ATT for a total of $400.

      No issues stable for days. Reboot occasionally to reset speeds. No issues with disconnects. It even buffers for awhile very rarely but it catches up and does not disconnect .

        Orbi and MR5100 use Nano sim making the regretful switch a little easier

      Knock on wood...I've gone over 24 hours without a disconnect after the firmware upgrade to 2.6.3.50 and a factory reset.  Now, my usage is lower on the weekends so we will see how it goes tomorrow.

        Spoke too soon. The firmware update did not resolve the problem. Two disconnects today.
