I just received the peplink br2 micro and am on AT&T and T-Mobile 1 month (50 gb) plans currently. Why is this so slow for upload? Is there any point in trying to stream from remote locations with this device?
What are the settings that I need to fiddle around with? I updated the firmware as of the time of this writing.
By comparison, this is a speedtest done on the same laptop connected to a wifi hotspot from a galaxy s21 on a mint mobile unlimited plan
on your phone speedtest we see an idle latency of 400ms and an upload latency of 777ms. So even though you get 2Mbps upload that is not particularly useful at such high latency.
Your Samsung phone will be doing carrier frequency aggregation to achieve that upload. At least two channels maybe more.
The BR2 Micro has a pair of CAT4 modems in it. So no carrier frequenxy aggregation at all (although if using speedfusion you can aggregate the operator networks). latency is much lower though which is an improvement.
What are the cellular signal measurements in this area? It looks to me like you are in a very congested location to have three bars of signal but such high latency.
You should try speedfusion with adaptive FEC enabled to see what you get then.
Where can I configure speedfusion with adaptive FEC? Also, what cellular signal measurements can I provide? It does seem like this is a carrier congestion issue as I tried this again in the evening between 5:30 and 6:00 pm and got similar results. Are there any carriers in Los Angeles which will not have these kinds of problems? I’m trying to do 4K streaming.
