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...
JohnPeng Can the LM1200 firmware be revised to permit bridged connection when the WAN port is connected, but switch to router mode when the WAN fails? That will allow use as a failover device where the WAN source allows bridging but the LTE source (Verizon) does not. I'd rather be bridged but, barring other options, router mode is acceptable.
Hello! So I just got the LM1200 today. I got it set plugged in and it is doing the exact same thing mentioned in the thread. If the WAN connection is connected to my Netgear cable modem, things work fine. If I disconnect the modem to test the cell connection, it starts the endless cycle of up and down. I have the newest Netgear cable modem, and a RAX80 router. I am using Cox cable for hardwired and Verizon for cell. Anyone been able to fix this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Just save yourself the trouble and return it now.
- Verizon does not permit connection in bridged mode.
The modem cannot connect in bridged mode while the WAN power is active, then switch to router mode when it falls back to the mobile network. Apparently, if you need Verizon (or Visible) the only choice is to use the modem in router mode.
While not ideal, that's acceptable to me. My primary use of the modem is for Internet access while traveling. My brief experience is that it stays connected at a decent speed when in router mode. - I’m going to see if this unit works any differently.
