Hi,
After installing firmware 4.7.4, the Internet connection with my Orange sim card cuts out intermittently.
This being unstable, I reset the router and reconfigured it completely, but without any improvement.
Then i installed the beta version (4.8.0), first without doing a reset first and then with a complete reset: no improvement, still intermittent blackouts.
The sim card is detected correctly and I haven't changed anything in the operator configuration.
Do I need to change any parameters?
In desperation, I finally removed the sim card and connected the router to my box.
Thanks for your help.
You can connect your device to other networks (such as eth) and then share your device to goodcloud so that I can analyze the problem, and at the same time, please send me a private message with your MAC and password, Thanks!
Hi,
On the advice of a friend, I recalculated the MTU and set it to 1380. Strange, because it worked perfectly before without changing this setting (at least I learned something).
The connection has been stable ever since.
Sorry to have bothered you.
Have a nice day.
Best regards,
For cellular networks, it is true that MTU will restrict normal Internet access, usually under the premise that everything is normal in the APN, you can't access the Internet, you can try to change the MTU and TTL attempt
I had the same issue with an Orange SIM card. Since updating the firmware to 4.7.4, the connection has been unstable and it has even been impossible to connect. After several reboots and setting the MTU to 1380, everything appears to be working again.
I found some references to MTU calculation, but could you be more specific about this issue, @Javon_ma? I think the problem arose from the firmware update. (Not the provider's fault).
While travelling, a stable internet connection is essential for me, and I don't want to rely on black magic.
Thanks
Following my tests with an MTU of 1380, I still noticed some instability.
So I did a complete reset of the router and installed the latest snapshot of firmware 4.8.0 without touching the Orange provider's config (GL.iNet download center).
Since then, everything seems to work fine (for me at least).
The firmware update does not affect the MTU value, the MTU is a parameter in the protocol stack, the firmware will not be modified, as for finding the right MTU value, you can ask the operator, or try different MTU tests to find the best MTU value for the entire network path
@beefan623 Thanks for the update! I will try installing the 4.8 firmware because I'm still having the same issue. I lose the connection as soon as I put heavy traffic on it. @Javon_Ma: I haven't had any issues using Orange for the past year. This issue started with the 4.7 update for both of us.
Either Orange has changed something in the meantime, or the firmware is related to the issue.
