Continuous 3G Connection (24/7)

[mashster]

Dear All,

Can you please help me with this little problem. I have one of these new Vodafone USB 3G Modems I believe its the K3532 or something similar.

I run an application that requires access to the internet 24/7. But the modem most of the time disconnects itself. And Unfortunately I am not around to reconnect it, when this happens.

Is there a way that I can set this thing up to reconnect itself if it goes down?

Apologies if this has been solved elsewhere, but I cannot find any solutions elsewhere. If this has been answered before can you please direct me to the right post

Thanks

Mashster

P.S. I use Windows XP

I have a K3565 USB modem and updating the software seemed to fix my disconnect problem.

Try setting the connection Profile to 3G Only.

Vodacom will disconnect you if there's no activity for 10 minutes!
Years ago it used to be 60 minutes.

Um... half the time i'm idle for 3 to 4 hours at a time while connected to 3G. So i dont know what you're on about?

Not so. I have left my 3G router on for days on end with no disconnects.

Connection Keeper
keep your connection alive

Our Rating: 4 stars (Very Good)

Connection Keeper prevents your Internet connection from appearing idle or inactive. It does this using almost no bandwidth or system resources. If a connection is lost, Connection Keeper can automatically dial back in. It can even automatically simulate a button click to close popup windows (such as those asking if you wish to remain connected) and you can configure precisely how your line is kept active. Connection Keeper s window can be minimized to the system tray and the interface customized, using one of several color schemes.

FREEWARE

its worth a try

Hi There,
Just a question regarding open connections etc.
If i open my connection on the last day of the month at say 11pm, but i only schedule downloading to start happening after midnight [which will then be the next day of the next month of course], then which cap is used ? data of the month I opened the connection in or the following months data?. Cant seem to find any info that answers this question.

Regards

I fully concur with the above statements. I have left my LTE/3G Router connected for a calendar month without ANY disconnections recorded.

LTE/3G Routers by design have superior RF front end circuitry with a higher grade of stability as opposed to your USB Stick Modems in my view.
