M1 MR1100 - Disconnects from mobile broadband and only reconnects after reboot

Hi there,

 

I am using my M1 as a 24/24 solution. The problem is that one to two times a day it disconnects. I guess the provider does not really like when a device is connected for too long. The problem is that it won't reconnect by itself, I always need to reboot it. Is there a workaround? I checked the other topics wich are related but nothing works to avoid the disconnect in the first place.

 

Alternatively a schedule reboot option might be sufficient so that I reboot the device once or twice every 24 hours but I could not find anything in the settings.

 

Any suggestions? Because the device is useless when I am not at home and it is disconnected and I can't acces my IoT devices because of that.  

 

Thanks, Lens

    Is this AT&T by chance?

     

    And when HTTP and HTTPS stop working, does pinging websites still work?

      No it is a french (Europe) provider. The router just disconnects, so no acces to internet and no pings or whatever. I have now added a smart plug which reboots the device every 6 hours. Seems to work even though I have about 1-2min down time.
