LM1200 repeatedly dropping link
I recently purchased an LM1200-100NAS to serve as an LTE failover connection for my homelab and noticed a strange issue while setting up my pfSense-based router to use the LM1200 as a secondary WAN c...
Popping on here to say that I was having similar issues. I'm on Verizon - also using a Netgear AirCard Antenna to supplement my cellular signal signal as I live in a state park - so relatively rural.
Seemed to me to be an intermittent issue, especially when several devices connected to the network. I am solely using the 4G LTE connection, no failover from hardwire. I'm using a TP-Link Archer A7 router as well.
Changing the keepalive setting didn't seem to make a difference but setting the modem to router mode has. Only have one question, how much data does the KeepAlive use? Like most of us I am throttled after xGB, and I'm a little alarmed to see when I connect to the modem manager that the device has supposedly used 1.7 GB in the past 25 mins. I'm continuing to set up devices, so I likely think that they are just syncing with my cloud services, etc. Just wanted to check to make sure that I don't need to readjust the KeepAlive. Let me know if I can be of any assistance in any way!

Keepalive will use really small ammout of data. Please keep monitor the data usage. Please check what programs running on the PC used for setting up the device. The device itself doesn't have cloude services to use so much data within 25 mins.
Thanks
