Suddenly slow home internet.

I've had the home internet for a few weeks now and it's been great. Getting speeds of 100 megabytes or more with a fair signal. But tonight the signal is poor and I barely get 10 megabytes a second. ¿Cuál es el problema?

Read all of these comments here. Some good info. There is a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo that affects the signal strength and thus download and upload throughput and speed.

Here is my 2 cents. In the app there a place on the bottom on the menu "More" . Under More is Advanced Celular metrics … basically the Gateway telling the app all the techninals of the tower and gateway communication.  Focus on RSSI and RSRQ … for me RSRQ was a problem. These numbers are logrythmic which means they are not linear … which means that -103 is a TON different than say -99 like factors of 10. I moved the gateway 6 whole inches and the bars went from 3 to 4 on the front of the router. Is you caan get 4 bars you are off to the races. Less than 4 means spoty and slow. 

Bottom Line. My speedtests went from 30-40 Download to over 400 download and Im talking moving the device 8 whole inches. 

So look at the app and move the device around and wait. It takes a minute to settle in. You may have to find another location in the house. If you can get 4 bars or even 5 you will be golden. 3 bars or less you will be fair to poor in signal and speed. 

Hope this helps.
