I have installed multiple LTE Routers of the type 240 / 241 in different households. They worked fine. However, after a while two are not reachable anymore through my vpn. The IoT sim card hub tells me, that both routers are disconnected. (therefore not even sms utilities are usable to reconnect to the vpn). If I have not enabled the “low signal reconnect” option. Does that mean, that if a router looses the signal, it will never reconnect? Bare in mind, the routers are static installments, thus will not move. Is there another option i have to look into?
Thanks for reaching out! Low signal reconnect section is used to set up the signal strength-based modem operator connection reset. You can find detailed information from here.
Can you please share the screenshot of this configuration in your devices? If you put really small reset timeout, this may be root cause of the issue.
Thanks for your time. Yes, fully understood. Though, I might have expressed myself wrongly.
My question is in the other direction. I have not enabled the option. Does this mean, if the router looses signal, it will not search for a new connection? Could this lead to a router not beeing connected to any network, or will the router search at the moment it has no connection to any provider. The description provided on the website is not making it clear.
If the signal goes below of your desired threshold level, this option basically reset the modem’s connection. It basically disconnecting from your operator’s network & connect again.
I will forward your query to our wiki editing team!
I did understand how the option works. However, the option is not enabled. Does this mean, that the router can loose its signal and will try to renew the connection? E.g. if the router is in a celler and looses connection, as the antennas get covered for a while, it will not reestablish a connection? Therefore, only if the option is enabled, it would renew the signal in the defined interval?
as I understand it if the option is OFF the the modem will keep the connection up
until it realises (by whatever means, e.g. loss of carrier, no data transfer, or even
something fancier) that the connection is down - like your mobile phone in an area
with bad coverage would do.
