If you have a good internet on your 4GConnect, but then the internet connection drops out after a period of time, then this section is for you. Also this is useful for fishermen or blue water sailors who regularly go a long way off shore and then when they return within reception range the 4GConnect does not automatically reconnect.

The part below is for the 4G Connect with the black and white interface.

First, make sure that “Force LTE Network” and also “Reregister” are both ticked and a time period of 300 secs – as per image below….

If that does not fix things, then please proceed to the Ping Reboot configuration procedure below.

 

Ping Reboot Configuration

To enable the “Ping Reboot” feature, go to SERVICES>AUTO REBOOT and you will see a similar page to the one below…

I suggest you use the same settings as shown above, which are the ones I have used in all of our testing. Every 5 minutes, it pings 8.8.8.8 which is the Google public DNS server and is always online.

 

If it does not receive a reply within 5 seconds, it retries two more times and if there is still no reply it restarts the 4G Modem.
