Lb1120 4g modem

I had purchased an open box modem. I just want to be assured that a new one will work. The old one never worked the devices would connect wirelessly for a little while maybe half an hour to an hour and then would quit working. Thanks

  • If you are having problems with wireless device connections then you're debugging the wrong part of your network.  The LB1120 is only a modem and does not have the abiility for ANYTHING to connect to it wirelessly.  The modem is likely plugged into another Access Point or Router to allow for wireless connections.

     

    One suggestion, if you have a router plugged into the LB1120 you might as well set the LB1120 to Bridge mode (Advanced -> Operation Modes) and let the wireless router handle all the routing duties.

      Thanks for the reply. I had it set to bridge mode. A new one is coming soon, so we’ll see how it goes.
