Same here, actually with a Ubiquiti USG (Unifi Security Gateway).
Verizon 4G SIM, BYOD w/ a public static IP,
I got the LM1200 in bridge mode, have the USG configured properly, but the moment it attempts to use the LTE network, which 99% of the time it will never actually establish a connection.
If it does actually connect to the LTE network, it will only for a brief moment, then seemingly "restart" where you lose connectivity to the webpage AND loss of internet. So I can only assume the device is restarting itself. It will repeat this forever, but if you let it remain disconnected from LTE, you can login to the device and play with settings, it's just actually connecting is where it stops working.
This is using the latest Unifi Controller, USG firmware, and latest Netgear firmware. Even after factory resetting it and just putting it into bridge mode, no dice.

This is the same behavior I'm seeing. I'll add that if I log into my UDM Pro and add a static route on the command line:
ip route add 192.168.1.5 dev eth9
Then I can use the web interface and see that the device is connected, etc. When I swap the WAN interfaces and try to actually use the modem, it resets itself as you describe.
