MR600 V1 at a second home - ways to monitor ?
Hi there,
We have a MR600 V1 4G+ model/router in place at our remote cottage in the Scottish highlands. Its situated near a 4G mast, and works really well when we're there, and lets me work from there successfully. It uses a cheap SIM from 1pmobile here in the UK (EE network).
Recently I added two wee security cameras to the house, to keep an eye on it when we're not there, this was working well, until they both went offline about 5 hours after I left the cottage. Logging into the 1pmobile site, I can see that no data has been used at all since the cameras went offline, so I've no idea what happened.
When I can get back to the cottage in a couple of weeks (its 3.5 hours away from my home) I am planning on adding a wifi booster to the setup, as the cameras didnt have a strong signal even on 2.4ghz, and I also intend on setting the Router to auto-reboot every day in case its just crashed etc, but is there anything else I can do to monitor it? It won't have a fixed IP address.
If the cameras are offline for some reason, but the Router is still up, would it use a very small amount of data? I am thinking it would, so I could see that via the 1pmobile website.
Thanks for any suggestions.
