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...
in my case, I have an ipv4 outside address and dont have ipv6 enabled. as for nat, you dont have a choice unless you plug a specific device into the lm1200. ex. laptop. the verizon cell network using a non-commercial account will not let you nat any ports incomming anyway. they block all of that, so nat is only allowing multiple mac's outbound. this includes any vpn traffic thats needs to establish. only outbound traffic will inititate things like this.
So I ended up going and getting a T-Mobile SIM card, and after a day of trying to get them to put the right plan on it, it now seems to be working fine. I would love to keep the Verizon sim in it, but I don’t feel like putting any more time or money into it. Like I mentioned before, I have a Netgear RAX80 router, so I don’t believe I have access to add code as mentioned in the previous notes. One thing I will say is if you go for the T-Mobile option, MAKE SURE they put you on a 4G plan. Not one that is 5G. Even though the plans they try to sell you says 5G/4G, they will not work unless they are 4G mobile hotspot plans.
