Quectel RM500Q-AE in ZBT-WG1608 modem restarts every 60 seconds

Post by jericsmith »

New 1608 and RM500Q-AE and I'm having the strangest thing, modem (not router) resets itself every 60 seconds or so. I'm presently running newest snapshot of GoldenOrb_2023-04-06 ( OpenWrt 22.03-SNAPSHOT ). I've tried prior stable and other snapshots as well, but same behavior, the modem resets itself every 60 seconds or so. I know the 1608 had a hardware watchdog, which I've dealt with on other 1608's I've had, but that resets the whole router in my experience, not just the modem. Any one have any experience with something similar or more importantly, any suggestions on troubleshooting?
