Remote access to 4gee home router

adeanddonna — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 18:38:37 GMT

Is it possible to remotely access a 4gee home router to do a reset? I’m on holiday in the canaries but it seems my router has decided to go down. Thing is, I’ve got my cctv, security and other things that need Wi-Fi that I’d like to monitor while I’m away.

many thanks

No, you will find yourself up against a limitation of EE's mobile network. The EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) & so you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses. This is unlike fixed BB.

Had this same problem. Occasionally happens.

I have I sort of fix. But you set this up when you are at home.

Log on to the router from a browser on same WiFi.

Set the device to reboot automatically once a day. The reboot takes a few minutes.

I have one of these units at my old mums house for her doorbell etc.

The dam thing only goes wrong if I am away.

So now, if it locks up, it resets it's self.

I need to go and take another look, because I am tempted to reset it twice a day if I can.

Hope this helps.

My sort of fix, is to get mine to reboot at midnight.

This seems to work on the odd occasions it locks up, and I am miles away.

Off line for a few hours. But back up by next morning
