this seems to be always triggered when I visit Facebook, crazy but true it seems. It can be up and working fine for hours then if I visit facebook.com the connection goes pretty quickly and we get another reboot.

 

The Nokia gateway apparently is known to overheat, and reboot.  Maybe loading Facebook with all its graphics and such, is pushing the Nokia to its edge of functionality.

 

One possible solution, is to place a computer fan underneath or above the Nokia gateway to provide air flow, cooling it off.

Well I've had this setup for over a year and although it can sometime lose connectivity a few times per day it isn't every day. The pattern I see now has just started happening, no real change in my internet habits at all. The facebook thing could be a red herring, it just seems to be playing a role but I can't be certain.

But for a week or so the service has been very very poor, like ten twenty times or more within a day, it was never this bad. 

If I could reinstall the previous firmware I could quickly prove if that is the cause, this would be good for me and for Nokia and others but this device is poor, very inflexible and very weak in terms of its metrics and error reporting.

If these people designed this well it would be easy to tell the difference between a firmware initiated reboot/bug and the simple loss of contact with the remote 5G tower/infrastructure, it should be easy to distinguish these but the design is crap.

This kind of cutting corners is getting more and more common and even led to the loss of life in the recent Titan fiasco, shoddy design, cavalier testing and specifications, totally sub standard.

I have another internet service we rely on for TV (because the TMobile is a bit unreliable) it is much lower data rates, ADSL over the Century Link phone line and the detailed metrics and counters in that modem’s design is astonishing by comparison, very well designed.

It is easy to see if an issue is due to remote end, line issues, local issues or device just crashing/rebooting, with the Nokia gateway there is no way to tell, just guess all the time.
