Any way to disable 5G connection on router?
Our connection is periodically (and lately, continually) unusable, with download speeds in the 0.2 to 0.8 mps range. We're not sure if this is due to being deprioritized due to load on the system (it...
Thanks for the response, Tinker. All good feedback.
Below is an updated packet loss graph taken from my ethernet-attached monitoring system. As noted in my previous post, the packet loss peaks are around 21% and observed when the 5g radio is up. My router has been in the same place for months, and my home usage does not change throughout the day. This really seems like a tower oversubscription issue considering it begins and ends around the same time daily. Weekends show a bit different pattern, again suggesting a subscriber influenced issue.
The tower is approximately 3.5 miles away. "Good" throughput on 5G is in the 20mb up/20mb down, "bad" varies from 3ish up/down to near 0. Good throughput when the 5G radio is offline is in the 35-50mb/s range, and very reliable.
I'm not a big fan of the 5G Home Internet gateway. It would be great if there was a bit more administrative access to it.
