A while back I asked about using a 4G modem with pfsense, and the UML290 bubbled to the top of the list as most likely to work.
My experience with it has been spotty. It seems that about every 3-4 days, it will just stop talking to the network. At the same time, it will still respond to "AT" commands but otherwise be totally unable to complete the PPP dialog. Only way out of this state is power-cycle the modem. I have heard one person tell me this is "normal" for the UML290. How has it been for other people? The VZ forums are full of people who have no clue about pretty much anything complicated, so I had no luck there. Also, in case anyone is looking for a really awesome 4G<->ethernet bridge device, check out this one: http://shop.proxicast.com/shopping/proxicast-pocketport-2-pocket-sized-3g-4g-lte-usb-cellular-modem-bridge-mini-router.html I have been using it with my modem and it makes for easier failover configurations on pfSense. I originally bought it to try to fix the 3-day and dead problem, but it did not... at least I don't have to power cycle pfsense to fix it, because unplugging and re-plugging the modem would lock up pfsense. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
