LM1200 repeatedly dropping link

I am also having the same issues with the LM1200 on Verizon but with a Tplink router.
I was able to confirm with VZW that there should not be any issue connecting a DHCP router as the hotspot plan does not limit connections. I also have a support ticket open with Tplink to review the router logs showing the disconnect and reconnect cycling.
However, I even tried an older Actiontec router left over from my previous ISP and that had the same issues once I connected multiple devices. This only seems to occur if the modem is connected to a router or hub. If it's a direct 1:1 connection, be it game console, pc or laptop, it works fine.

Thanks for checking with Verizon. So we have pretty much ruled out everythign but the LM1200. I wonder if anyone has tried the Nighthawk M1 Moble LTE hotspot MR1100-100NAS? We need Netgear to fix this issue or I have to send this back. We are using this as the backup Internet in the case there is an outage with our wired carrier.
