Hi all,
I have a BR1 mini and connected to Vodafone Egypt with full signal (-66dbm)
When i do a speedtest from MAX Br1 mini i get a result of 2-3 mbps.
When i insert same SIM on my mobile phone i have low signal but speed is 8-9 mbps.
Any reason why this difference
Firmware is 7.1.2 build 3310
Hi Georgios - welcome to the forum!
I suspect you have already spotted the issue - too much signal. Or rather too much RF noise really.
Can you post a screenshot of the signal and quality measurements from the cellular details screen?
Also I suggest a firmware upgrade to fw 8.0.
What band is the phone connecting to? BR1? Signal on phone (dbm)?
Here you go
It looks like you are connecting on 3G and not 4G LTE. That speed is relatively normal for 3G.
Your Ec/Io is -13.0 dB that means you have lots of noise compared to signal.
Lots of noise means poor quality connection to the tower. Either try a directional antenna or something with less gain or see if you can identify a local source of RF noise that can be turned off.
Also I’d recommend an upgrade to FW 8.
My BR1 mini is very slow as well. It has Firmware 8.0.1. Testing it with the same speed tester at the same server, using the same sim-card my tablet get 17mbps, where the BR1 only gets 3.4mbps… What gives?
Update It seems the bottleneck is with the WiFi connection. I’m only getting 3.3 Mbps over the WiFi LAN. Any suggestion (other than hook up a different WiFi router).
