Hello,

 

I had been trying different things such a different ports on my router, etc none of which had any effect.  After each change, i tried again with a reboot making sure only to make one change at a time.

 

I noticed there was the failover settings in the LB2120 which was set to automatic.  I was never going to use this as failover so set it to mobile network only not expecting anything much to happen.

 

Just out of curiosity, i also set the unit from router to bridge mode and let it connect.   Once it came up and established a link, within a few seconds, my router had a dynamic IP from the LB2120 which matched the 4G WAN IP.

 

So, the issue i was having appeard to go away after disabling the failover function and forcing only to mobile.

 

Perhaps its some way the LB2120 announces on its LAN port which service is providing IP.

 

I need to shut down for the night, i am using my mobile phone SIM card untill a dedicated data card arrives so ill test again tomorrow to ensure it wasnt just pot luck.


Thanks,

Stuart
