LB1120 will not auto-reconnect to cell service once it disconnects due to poor signal
I live in an area with spotty service, and my LB1120 will periodically disconnect due to poor signal conditions. However, even when signal improves, the modem refuses to re-connect. It remains discon...

Same issue here. I have two different sites on T-Mobile. One is an LB1120 and the other is an LB1121. They randomly drop down to 3G speeds. Both sites have 5 bar signal and good numbers (Quality around 60 on 4G) Doing a software reboot doesn't get it back to 4G unfortunately, only a power cycle will do the trick. So I have to be onsite to do it :( Please Netgear, fix this issue!!!

Totally agree, when my LB1120 drops to 3G, it doesn't want to switch back to 4G easily.
When a snowstorm blows through, i've noticed it will sometimes drop to 3G during very heavy moments, but should constantly be trying to get back to 4G as soon as it possibly can. I always have to manually reboot the device to get it back to 4G. The 4G signal was strong again within seconds, but wouldn't reconnect without intervention by me. I can usually tell when it is stuck in 3G from the increased latency.
Please put some sort of new algorithm in to get back to 4G more quickly.
THANKS!
