      You are better off getting a different modem.

        Hi johnkeates,

        Thank you for your answer!

        This one is on the compatibility list?

        Which one should you choose or recommend then?

          You tried adding the loader delay shown in that other thread?

            Hi Steve,

            Yes we tried it, sometimes it did work! But a sometimes is not enough.
            We tried putting it on 40 - 60 - 100 but it was not a stable solution.

              Hmm, interesting. But the warm reboot worked every time?

                Warm reboot worked every time :)

                If no extra devices were connected. If our unifi-ap was connected it did not work…

                  Hmm, well that's ever stranger. The AP was connected via Ethernet I assume…

                  You are probably better off just getting a different modem. Conor on the other thread clearly has a lot of experience with these and even he is saying they are unpredictable.

                    AP was connected via Ethernet indeed.

                    Do you guys know which model works "without" problems?

                      Use a dedicated LTE modem like this one: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/mobile-broadband/lte-modems/LB1120.aspx

                        That ^ is the best way. Will give you full LTE bandwidth and removes all the hardware issues.
