Just want to check if its just me...

Recently (past 5-6 weeks) my Skinny 4G gets disconnected at 9am. The router logs indicate its an ISP disconnect (ie WAN). I have disabled all auto-restart, auto-update etc.

Being 9am its a bit annoying to get booted out of Citrix or am in Teams calls.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Have you tried rebooting your 4G router at say 10 PM? I think there is a 24-hour session timeout.

Great to hear it worked, but it's also bizarre. Surely this causes disruption to some people. Wonder if there is any workaround.

It's been like that since forever. Session restarts every 24 hours. I can't recall the underlying reason but it may have been an accounting issue or similar.

Just pick a more suitable time, do a power cycle and it will happen from then on at that time.
