I'm using the GL-X3000 in a motorhome so the 4G/5G masts change quite often. Sometimes the Cellular connection just disappears and when I connect to the admin dashboard I can see the following loading icon:
Rebooting the router fixes the issue but this has been happening on a daily basis during this week and it's getting pretty annoying.
Are there certain logs I could provide to the support? Could I add a cron job which would reload just the cellular connectivity when it fails to connect?
Support staff from GL.iNet told me in the emails that this was happening because I had poor signal and I would need to lock towers. This assumption doesn't seem to be true and today I had excellent signal strength but the connection was anyway lost for 5 minutes anyway:
This is probably happening because the IP-address from my 5G provider seems to change suddenly (IP-address is redacted as XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW below):

According to the logs this doesn't actually take that long time but for the connected clients it takes a few minutes to be back online. Would there a way to make this happen faster?
