Hi All, we have a number of out of band RB hAP routers out there which have a Sierra Wireless 320U 4G Modem connected to them and use the Telstra 4G LTE network, on the whole these work well, however they regularly, as in once every day or so, stop receiving data, however the LTE interface on
RB does not recognize that there is no data coming in and still thinks it's running and all is good.
I have looked for a keepalive or something for the interface but can't find anything, I don't know if it's a Telstra network issue or the RB or
how it is but we need these to remain up as much as possible as they are for OOB access to our POP's, has anybody come across this issue before and have any suggestions ?
As soon as you disable the LTE interface and re-enable it things work fine.
I also have an SXT LTE router which does the same thing, so kind of
Thanks Mike, yes that's where I am at right now is netwatch to drop the interface and bring it back up, but it would be good to know if the issue can be resolved. Some sites do have marginal signals of say -80 to -81, but really that should be OK. Even sites with good signals drop though.

It seems to plague some models more than others (though I have no hard evidence of that I can point to ;) and generally relates to conditions where there is poor or erratic signal. The most effective way to deal with it seems to be use of netwatch to execute usb power-reset on the modem when it fails. Cheers, Mike. the perhaps just thinking
it's not a modem problem as they have the integrated one.
