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...
I finally had to give up on this one. I have to stay with Verizon (their cell tower to the east of my location is the only reliable signal source) so after trying several other options I wound up shifting to a verizon business account with a static IP provisioned and a demo unit of an Inseego Skyus 160. Once it arrived it took me under an hour to get everything configured and running, and most of my various problems (stability, UDP packets reaching my IoT devices via my local WAP fed by the LTE gateway) went away.

Posting on this thread to say that I too have a client using the LM1200 (Firmware EC25AFFDR07A09M4G) and experiencing connectivity issues as described on this thread on the Verizon network. JohnPeng the last we heard from you on this thread was on March 19, 2022 -- any updates since then?
Thanks!
