Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

This issue still persists for me. I've used Mofi and We826 Goldenorb/Wifix routers for about 4 years now. It wasn't until ATT started cracking down on the ipad plans this year that the random disconnects became an issue. Sometimes it will come back up within about a minute, other times and becoming...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Thank you @undertowzen for your time and collection of resources! Despite the change I made the other day, the connection is still being dropped on the Mofi. It appears mainly during heavy usage (like video conferencing and long "searching sessions" on Google. I see the affordability and ...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Hi undertowzen, Just thought I would sign up because your posts (and this thread) have been extremely helpful in getting my At&t SIM working on the MOFI. I am a distance learning university student (ironically enough studying the challenges of remote learning) so certainly need a reliable conne...

Re: Mofi4500 losing internet.... Kind of

"My issue is confounded by the fact that the Access Point I have (plugged in to Eth1) hates my Mofi 4500, so if it is plugged in when the Mofi is trying to reboot the Mofi usually craps itself on startup (some weird DHCP thing I think). So I need to turn off my AP, reboot the Mofi, then turn ba...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Hey so just reporting back. First off found out a few things regarding the MTU I reported on earlier, the Sierra modems lock down the MTU of the hardware to 1430 so you will in fact have issues if you specify an MTU over 1430 - meaning you should populate 1430 all the way down the line from your mod...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Make sure to uncheck autofind best mtu as this may vary depending on network congestion moment to moment and change on its own but good to know they are trying to do something to help. I still need to reboot my modem once a day to keep things healthy else within 24-36 hours things can slow down or s...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Thanks for the info.. I'm not exceptionally familiar with cake. Does it take into account clients on the LAN side behind NAT? In my case I have pfsense running between my mofi and my clients, so typical L3 based qos mechanisms assume everything is coming from one client. There are options for next ...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Click on "Status" under the General Tab. You'll then get a report and under IPV4, will tell you how long you've been receiving internet and if you look above under "System" you can find out how long since your router restarted. From what I've seen the last two firmware updates j...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Oh and if your main router contains a shortcut engine setting you may want to disable that. With that setting enabled on many routers I have noticed that the router will not renegotiate with the modem or gateway it’s connected to when needed, like during a reboot or after an outage.

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Sorry since I was new I had to wait for my post to be approved and then after that I was never notified it was posted. I will say if anyone is using the mofi in bridge mode you need to disable it and use it in router mode with the MTU and SQM settings I mentioned. I just disabled the firewall in min...

Re: [SOLVED!] Losing constant Internet connection on Mofi 4500 (and my mind)

Hey all - I just came across this message board and this post today researching something and figured I'd register and reply. I solved this issue on my router finally a few month ago and it was an issue of buffer bloat and overload due to MTU settings. By default the MTU setting on the router is set...
