LM1200 repeatedly dropping link

greenpuddin Solute to you, Sir. You summarized all the issues we are facing with Verizon network now on LM1200.
1. LM1200 can only support one ethernet client on Verizon network. The data connection is teared down by the network if more than one clients connect through the ethernet port. We contacted Verizon to help finding the root cause, but so far, not results. This may be just how Verizon network setup. As customers reported, the issue also happens on the devices from other vendors. Another 2 Netgear branded devices also have the same issue.
Thanks for your suggestion to post a KB article to remind the customers on the Verizon network limitation when using LM1200. I will work with the internal team on it.
2. VPN connection from cellular network usually is limited by the carriers due to security reasons. Some carriers can provided the special APN for VPN connection with extra costs. This is not an issue on the device side.
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
Regards
John
Thanks for getting back to me JohnPeng that was quick! Reading what others have said, maybe documentation should note in this situation for multiple devices Verizon SIMs should be set to router exclusively? Or maybe something in general if other providers start doing this, to test toggling between bridge and router mode?
Also, are you guys hiring by chance? I've always wanted to be a technical writer and I'm wrapping up my bachelors 🤣
