AT&T Internet feed is dropped three or four times a day, every day

LM1200 4G LTE modem drops internet 3 or 4 times a day every day.  Always reboots easily.

  • I contacted AT&T and they determined my gateway needed to be replaced. They dropped shipped me a new gateway, which I installed. The next day, though I was able to get everything to connect, I noticed some devices were continuing to intermittently drop off and would have to be reconnected. I once again contacted AT&T and they "ran tests" remotely and blamed one of the neighborhood boxes, stating they could see issues at several homes. It did not make a lot of sense to me that that would cause my wifi to drop but they insisted on sending a tech out.

    Please male sure you have upgraded to the latest release: FW: NTG9X07C_20.06.09.00; PRI 04.19.

     

    What's the SIM card's plan with AT&T? Is it from AT&T BYOD data plan or a phone or tablet plan?

     

    Thanks

      Regarding the soft ware: no new firmware of systen updates available.

  • I get the internet feed from a retailer, Olive iP.  They get it from AT&T.  I buy a data plan from  Olive iP.

      I changed the APN to AT&T in the modem set up.  It was on a network set up by the ISP.  This made a world of difference, no dropping and much higher baud rates.

      Thanks to all for the help.
