Tp link 3G Modem Issue

Post by trex »

I have a couple of tp-link MR 3220 and MR 3420 respectively... both working in 3g mode with gargoyle..
But sometimes, after a period of 2 - 5 days it stop working...
in essence it loose the WAN address but the 3g-wan keep UP... I mean, the pppd daemon dont die even when the link to the ISP is broken... No ICMP, No TCP neither UDP connection....
I dont j¡know why occurs this strange bahaviour... I tried to see how the 3g-tester does work, but i really dont understand what really happens...
Hope you guys can help me...
Obs: The link only can be restarted if i Perform a reboot to the router...
It doesnt work if I make a restart of Connection from the WEB UI...

I've been testing 3g with TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1-1.8

The 3g connect has now been up for 3 months+ now. only a couple of drop off's but it auto connected after a few hours which makes me believe it was an ISP problem.
