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.
Regards Paul

Hi Paul,
We've seen lots of reports of this kind of thing. It seems to plague some models more than others (though I have no hard evidence of that I can
Haha, yep good point, still have my wireless brain engaged..... -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Mike Everest Sent: Thursday, 22 June 2017 10:05 AM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] Telstra 4G Dropouts Hi Paul, For mobile networks, -81 is usually very good. A bad signal is usually beyond -100 dBm ;) Cheers! 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.

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 the 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 perhaps just 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 thinking it's not a modem problem as they have the integrated one.
Thanks Paul _______________________________________________ Public mailing list Public@talk.mikrotik.com.au http://talk.mikrotik.com.au/mailman/listinfo/public_talk.mikrotik.com. au
