LB2120: no automatic re-connect
Hello,
frequently (every 24 - 30 hours) my LB2120 is losing connection (amber LED) but won't reconnect automatically although I set in the menu "reconnect automatically, always". It's set to br...
My current thoughts are:
Blanca has been pretty responsive so far but for me it's been radio silence since end of last week. Given the time of year it's quite possible that he/she is on holiday [ vacation for my friends across the pond ] so I'm going to wait until next week.
In the meantime I'm going to be browsing for 4g failover routers that actually...you know...work, and if I get no resolution on this next week then I'll send this ahem "device" back to Amazon, get a full refund and buy one from a different manufacturer.
Im looking at this one
Teltonika 4G-RUT240 Compact Industrial 4G LTE Router
Im using 4g as the main connection with a Satellite backup....so even as the main WAN connection the Netgear is useless
mfoster11 - that's the router I went to, I highly recommend it, many more features than LB2120 and it also works as it should!
I know this isn't the forum - but I thought this NG story may make you all smile.
I found out that another WiFi NG (ARLO) router I have has an interesting hidden feature. You can't set the WiFi channel, instead it picks the strongest WiFi signal and hops to that channel, so my core network basically has NG following it constantly. My network selects a new "clearer" channel - NG hops on to that one, my network sees congestion, hops, guess who follows...
The only way I've been able to remedy this is to have another WiFi router (the Teltonika router mentioned above) - broadcasting and fixed to a channel that my main network doesn't use, it's right next to the NG box so as to keep it off my main routers channels and lower interference!
Hope that nonsence has made you all smile - happy Friday!
I have the nighthawk r8000, thats going in the bin and im going to Amplifi HD from Ubuiquiti - software as i say is absolute garbage, they bring out product after product and just ditch it without actually getting it working
