Re: Tmobile home internet SINR and RSRP issues
In my instance just a couple numbers improvement in RSRP resulted in a huge gain in speed and reliability. RSRP at -102 …moved the gateway 8 inches to the left and it measured -99 …doesn't sound like much but the gateway went from 3 bars "Good" to 4 bars "Very Good" …even though -99 still pretty much sucks …we went from spotty and sluggish 40 mbps to over 400 mbps …about a factor of ten. If this is anything like sound dB …a single digit is a factor of 10 so digits is a signal strength of about 100 as I understand it. 8 inch movement in same location made a hige difference.40Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Suddenly slow home internet.

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. What gives? 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.0Visto0likes0Comentarios
