Is the keepalive timer a setting on the router or the LM1200 LTE modem? I am not familiar with what you are talking about so I appreciate an explanation if you can. Thanks!

Sorry. The setting is on LM1200.

 

Please log in to WebUI by visiting 192.168.5.1. The admin log password can be found on the product label.

 

Then go to Settings -> Advanced -> Failover -> Select radio button On for Keepalive.

 

Thanks

    Thanks! i found it. there are some other keepalive settings too (keepalive interval) and a ping configuration. do I need to change anything with these or keep the default?

        Well,

         

        I tried your advice and just like clockwork, the internet connection dropped again exatly 6 hours after I changes the settings, just like before. Any other suggestions?
