how to improve signal and speed on home internet¿
I'm only getting about 25 to 45 Mbps down and similar up. I keep seeing people get in the 200s down! How can I get those kind of speeds? I'm not very far from a tower and I've tried the Nokia Gateway...
Can likes being up on the ceiling, as it would typically have less to block it from a line of site to a tower. The higher the frequency, the less well that it does going through material, hence why mmWave loses signal from literally .. anything in between.
It'll be interesting to try one of these. I used the older 4G LTE Home internet and had ~140Mbps when they first came out. Since then, the sites bumped up LTE, and during the day, on my phone, I can get 160Mbps, and over 230Mbps at night. 5G n41 is reachable a couple blocks away from a site ~1 mile away, and will aggregate to ~450Mbps.
My signal is considered ‘weak’ by above standards, but low use:
B66 (AWS) LTE
RSRP= -108dBm
RSRQ= -12
SINR=13.4
MIMO Configured: 4
Carrier Agg: AWS 20x20, PCS 15x15, LTE 700: 5x5
Fortunately, the site has a low range, mostly residential, so .. its mostly ‘unused’ in my sector.
