Hi.
I use EE unlimited mins/data phone sim for internet in my B525. Never had any issues over the past... very long time. It's wired over ethernet. The SIM is EE. Early hours this morning I started getting random disconnected for a minute or so then came back. Had this before as the local mast keeps breaking and they're forever fixing / "upgrading" it so didn't think much of it. Then, it went down for 30 mins and so I did the usual charade of reboots and resets but no joy.
I checked to see if the internet was down on my phone (also EE, separate SIM but same account) but to my surprise it is working OK there. I've swapped the SIMs over and the router SIM is working fine for internet in my phone, but the phone SIM is not working in the router, which points to it being a router issue.
If I pull the SIM out of the router, the router changes to the flashing red light as you'd expect so it's clearly detecting a SIM presence, but when I put a SIM in I get the green light and connection light, then my signal bars, but they only stay on for about 5 seconds then all go out except the green light. This cycle happens several times, until all of them go out (including the green light) ie. basically router turned off then a second later they all come back on again and this repeats for a few more cycles until it all stops and the green light only stays on and nothing else happens. Occasionally I get a blue light and very dim signal bars, but still no connection.
I'm not sure so maybe someone can advise me, but is the blue the 4G connection and green is 3G? I am wondering if maybe the 4G is down , hence why the Huawei can't connect (?) but the symbol above the signal bar on my phone says 4G+ so don't really know what to make of it.
I'm BD19 6 xx fwiw.
