MOFI routers dropping connection usually comes down to weak signal, carrier issues, or modem/settings instability. Here’s a structured fix list you can follow:
1. Check LTE signal strength first
Log into the MOFI admin page and look at signal stats (RSRP / RSRQ / SINR).
Weak signal = constant disconnects
If signal is poor, move router near a window or higher location
Even a small reposition can stabilize LTE a lot
2. Reboot and power cycle properly
Turn router off
Unplug power for 60 seconds
Plug back in and wait 3–5 minutes
This clears stuck modem sessions that cause reconnect loops.
3. Check SIM card and seating
A slightly loose SIM is a very common cause:
Remove SIM
Clean it gently
Reinsert firmly
Make sure it is fully seated
4. Disable “Auto reconnect loop” behavior
In the MOFI interface:
Look for modem settings
Disable aggressive reconnect or “auto reset modem” if enabled
(Some firmware versions cause constant cycling when signal dips.)
5. Set correct APN manually
Wrong APN can cause repeated drops:
Go to Network / APN settings
Enter carrier-specific APN manually
Save and reboot
6. Lock the LTE band (important fix)
If your router is hopping between weak bands:
Lock it to the strongest stable band instead of “Auto”
This often stops random disconnects immediately.
7. Update firmware
Check MOFI firmware version
Update if available
Old firmware can cause modem instability and drops.
8. Reduce overheating
MOFI routers will disconnect when hot:
Ensure ventilation
Don’t place near direct sunlight or enclosed boxes
Add small fan if needed for hot environments
9. Check power supply
A weak adapter causes random resets:
Use original MOFI power adapter
Avoid long or cheap extension cords
If possible, test another compatible PSU
10. Carrier or SIM issue test
Put SIM in a phone:
If phone also drops → carrier/SIM problem
If phone is stable → router issue
11. Factory reset (last step)
If nothing works:
Hold reset button 10–15 seconds
Reconfigure from scratch
If it still disconnects
Likely causes:
Failing LTE modem inside router
Bad SIM slot
Weak carrier coverage in your area
