Re: Service issues or flaky gateway?
@SnooooopySearch for "speed test" on Google. A simple test shouldappear at the top of the list. Run it a few times, then please report your results. Mine just tested at 16.7 Mbps download and .17 Mbps upload, which indicates that there is still a problem with my tower. (FYI, I've also tested it with my wife's phone and get similar results, so the problem is not with my phone).1Ver1like0ComentariosRe: Tower upgrades taking weeks to complete?
The tower I originally connected to (1 mile away, line-of-sight) gave me all the speed I needed. Then something happened and my speeds were slower than DSL. I struggled for 3 weeks, called tech support, and finally found the one spot in my house where I can connect to a tower 5 miles away that delivers over 200 Mbps downloads and 10 Mbps uploads, I learned that sometimes you need to connect to a more distant tower (if possible!)to get decent speed.13Visto1like0ComentariosRe: A possible solution to speed issues (N71 vs N41)

The N41 band can only get an SINRof about 5. Now if I get it turned just right I'll get N71 after a while. SINR of 15, 30 ms ping, 150 down 60 up. Everything works great. I just wish there a few more selections you could make with your gateway. In my area, hands down, I prefer N71 over N41, but it gravitatesto theweaker signal. I get N71 and go as long as I can without a reboot. It turned out that a tower 5 miles south gives me very fast (>100 Mbps down, >20 Mbps up) service. I think that this tower was being worked on when I first got my gateway, so I never tried that side of my house. It's odd that I'm only getting 3 bars of strength, but I don't care as long as it keeps working.8Visto1like0ComentariosA possible solution to speed issues (N71 vs N41)
Some background: My Arcadyan KVD21 gateway became super slow about 3 weeks ago. The config app said that I had good SN, etc, but I was always connecting a slow N71 tower that's a mile or so from my house with clear line-of-sight. Maybe there was an upgrade to this tower or whatever, but when I was originally getting >100 Mbps I was now crawling at a snail's pace. Cellmapper showed another tower on the opposite side of my home, about 3 miles away. No line-of-sight. So I concluded that I need to try to connect to this other tower. Today I located a place in my garage - in front of a window turned 90 degrees away from the tower - and I'm getting N41 with up to 90 Mbps downloads and 30 Mbps uploads! I only hope this continues to work. Hopefully they'llupgrade the N71 tower. My suggestion to those of you who are getting slow speeds is to keep on moving the gateway around and rotating it until you get N41.3.2KViews1like5Comentarios
