I totally agree! Finally had a chance to play with the Zyxel and I got root access! Thanks a lot for the guide, it definitely applies to my model too since it's the same software. I didn't setup a script yet but I'll look into those suggested by you above. Thank you very much 🙏

Do you know whether that applies to the LTE7480-M804 too?

Oh my sorry for the formatting there, the post needed approval (for the code snippet I guess) and the intro text didn't look like that in the preview… Anyway I'm going with this dirty smart switch solution because I don't have root access to the Zyxel 4G modem. I do have another router running OpenWrt so I'm able to use…

I am actually using a smart switch on the modem to turn it off and back on if pinging google.com doesn't work. The script is running on another router in the same LAN network, and the smart switch is connected to this second router's wifi. The cron runs the script every 5 minutes. You can turn the logging off if you don't…

I am now running ABRA.7 since 2 months ago. I now have a script that restarts the modem if pings fail, and logs the event. No restart was ever triggered so far, so maybe the issue was resolved in these versions? Not sure why it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the changelog though. I will update if the issue reappears.

Thank you for the tip! Didn't know there were new versions after ABRA.4. I will try ABRA.6 as soon as I can and report back.

@jdawg69 no solution yet. So many routers have a fail check, where you can reboot the device if X pings fail one after the other. It's a shame this one has no solution. I wish I had root access to the router to make a script and solve this myself. It looks like returning the product is the only way, will do that after the…

Hi @SELBERG I already tried different SIM cards from different providers that use a separate infrastructure (not providers who rent the same 4G antennas), and the problem persists. Also, when the connection drops I just restart the router and it reconnects, so it can't be on the provider: it should reconnect without…

No way to solve this? The connection keeps dropping every 2-4 days.

@Lolo not yet, I am waiting for an official reply hopefully. I'll wait another month to give them plenty of time to answer.
