signal quality and bandwidth
Okay here's a head scratcher for you guys since I've got this internet okay I've only been able to get three bars never anything more and to top it all off I've never been over three and a half four ...
You could test the tower switching theory by looking at the tower ID in the app and see if is changing constantly...if it is, you may be able to get them to assign you to a single tower. You might also note when the N41 versus N71 bands are being used. Some folks have reported that the switching algorithm, is overly biased to N41 to the point they see massive slow downs, and that re-positioning the router to a *worse* location forces a connection to N71 and speeds can actually improve dramatically. I have a friend that put aluminum foil over 2 of the 4 antennas for exactly that reason.
With a signal that strong and sinr that good on n41, very unlikely to switch to another tower. You might want to see about exchange of the device.
