Have Three 4G broadband setup here at home. Actually quite a sophisticated setup with an external antenna and load-balanced with another 4G (EE) connection. Most of the time, it all works very well.
Anyway, what I have noticed with increasing regularity on the Three connection, is a "spat" of multiple connection/disconnection cycles every 24 hours or so. The connection will drop, reconnect, drop, then reconnect - sometimes as many as 10 times in quick succession before settling down again. This happens anytime of the day or night and regardless of current data throughput.
RSRP is a solid -82 db and does not fluctuate much. I have locked the Mikrotek modem to band 3 for maximum bandwidth, as it would have a habit of switching over to band 20 with the resulting drop in speeds and it would not automatically switch back to band 3. I get around 80Mbps on a good day.
Anyone else experienced this? Any tips etc? I am thinking that maybe the RSRP needs to be higher to ensure a rock-solid band 3 connection and that perhaps brief bursts of interference is causing the connection to drop? I cannot see it being a capacity issue as a/. The connection always comes back onto band 3 and b/. these dropouts often happen late at night when predicted usage would be much lower (given that I am in a rural location also).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
