ADVANCED METRICS
ON LTE, my metrics are rated as POOR on RSSI, RSRP, SINR. Can you change my Band to Band2. It is much faster and more reliable. It is available according to TMOBILE. ON 5G, my metrics are rate...
That might depend on if it can reach or n41 / b2 are ‘too weak’ to reach.
They can’t force n41 over n71 or B2 over B66 LTE.
2 things
- Use the placement guide to find where the local tower is (roughly). Items like CellMapper.net work on Android phones, or computers (at least to show where the closest tower is)
- Try your device near windows where you have the best to line of sight to that tower. Even test it outdoors (not in rain/water/etc).
- Rotate the device (many are directional).
- Lastly, follow Nater Tater on YouTube. If you have a 'white' modem (g4AR/SE) , it has external antenna ports. These can help.
If your signal metrics on N71 are not-so-hot, they are only going to be worse on N41 (which has shorter wavelength and more limited range).
