Comments on: CradlePoint MBR1000: Best EVDO Router Ever?

Hello all, I am having an issue with my Cradlepoint MBR-1000 with constant WAN drops during broadband use.

I access the internet using a cable modem and occasionally I will take the router with me on road-trips so I can receive wireless EVDO connection (Never drops when using my Verizon USB720 Card!!).

When I am home using cable (roadrunner), I notice excessive WAN drops where I have wired/wireless connectivity but no connection to any remote hosts using http, ftp, or other services. All my firewall settings are set to disabled or lowest setting and I am allowing every non-average session to connect. When I check my logs, I notice I have TONS OF Outgoing ICMP Type3 requests which the router automatically denies regardless of my settings.
Since I am running P2P Applications, I can only imagine they are peers trying to access my files. After turning off all P2P, I still have excessive floods and downtime from the internet. When the internet decides to return (up to 2 min later) I am required to enter the URL twice before a page loads then I’m good for another 10 minutes before pages start failing again.

Basically, Im at a loss and ready to flash it with something new (that supports USB Cards THIS EASY) or plug it in and toss the POS into the pool.

I’m having the same problem. I can get my xbox 360, ps3, and DS to login with my cradlepoint, but my psp won’t go past the login screen. I click Login and nothing happens.

I am using both the Cradlepoint MBR1000 and the Topglobal MB8000. Both work very well, but occasionally there are, the only way that I can describe it, leakage problems. Both my wife and I are full time telecommuters and our respective companies pay for the Verizon account.

I use the Topglobal and a Sierra 595 PCMCIA card and my wife uses the MBR1000 and a Sierra 595U. Ar first we tried the USB727, but it could not get a signal even with an external Yagi antenna.

When we get the leakage problem it slows one of the connections from EVDO to National Access speeds. If I turn the other router off, the connection comes back at high speed. I have two Wilson Yagi antennas stacked on the same pole above my house. I use 30 feet of 9913 cable from the antenna to my modems/routers.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around the problem?

Also, does anyone have experience with load balancing on the MBR1000? It would be nice to utilize both lines together.

Thanks
