5g Huawei CPE Pro 2 H122-373/Smarty throttling?

Tony Gamble

ULTIMATE Member
I'm using the above combination and have tried locating the Huawei in a position where my A22 phone, using the same Smarty card, produced a SpeedTest download of up to 1gig.

With the card in the Huawei and taking the wifi feed I am only registering around 250mbps.

Would people around here expect this? If not then is there a setting that I need to adjust?

Thanks Pheasant.

By signal stats I presume you mean the numbers on the Home Page

This is from the Huawei in the normal position, not the 1 gig one, and the figures change quite a lot. What should I be looking for? I have seen it alter from 0 to 32.4 in the present position and my last SpeedTest was 210 down.

I was using the tablet connected to the 5ghz feed from the Huawei but next time I will disable the 2.4.

I can't use a cabled connection to my PC. I have an adaptor for a phone but am not sure how reliable that is.

I will have to wait a bit so I can get back into the room with the good signal - later this morning.

@Tony Gamble a lot of Mediatek handsets cheap out on the wifi chips.
My Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T 5G can only do a max of 433Mb/s sync over 5ghz wifi, and as wifi is half duplex I only see around 250 throughput.

While on Mobile data 5G it can hit 1 gig download.
 
Is that the problem, meritez, that as soon as one uses wifi the speed drops to a quarter?

I feed my Huawei into a Devolo home plug system and eventually feed my PC by wifi. I tend to keep the Huawei wifi turned off when I am not experimenting - but when it is on its speed is no better than that coming from a Devolo that is hard wired to the Huawei and feeding its own wifi.
 
Thanks Pheasant.

Although both 4 and 5G signal strength looks quite good, on the basic summary front page, there is a more detailed page for the mobile service that has all the metrics for actual signal strength, signal to noise etc.

You should find more details in the 'Advanced / System / Device Information' sections Tony Gamble.

Hope that helps. :)

Whilst the Wee Bear was posting I was testing in our prime room for receiving 3 - but too far away to use Devolo links.

My A22 phone got about 800 mbps

In the Huawei and using its own wifi I got 350/400.

I cannot get a proper hard wire from the Huawei to my computer but I have one of those Android adaptors - but it produced rubbish figure of 120. So I conclude that is meaningless.

***

I'm back to where the Huawei will normally live. The phone direct to 3 gives figures between 300/400.

The wifi from the Huawei has just produced 198.

Feeding the Huawei into my Devolo network and taking a wifi feed from that produces 125/180

My conclusion is that the key reason I don't see the same speed as my phone does is because I am reliant on wifi and that halves the speed. If that is the case I am happy. I don't want to be accused of recommending my neighbours to migrate to 5g routers having seen speeds on their phones that are only half achieved by routers - unless they can be sure of using a hard wire connection. And who does it much these days of wifi?

And thanks for the pointer WB - but if I don't see anything to change the figures are going to do no more than tell me to move the router. Yes?

You're very welcome Tony, and yes they're just signal quality and strength indicators.
 
@The Wee Bear - Think there's a typo in the table in the third column for SINR being excellent should be greater than 20 dB.

Otherwise yes a good pointer for locating router for a healthy signal - which is the foundation upon which everything else is built with mobile internet.

Yes indeedy Pheasant, well spotted.

A little fix thanks to my trusty S Pen. ☺️

No,

The CPE Pro 2 is a 802.11ac/a/n 2 x 2 & 802.11b/g/n 2 x 2 device

Max wifi sync rate is 866 Mbps over 5ghz, half duplex will leave you around half that for throughput, and the rubbish wifi on your Samsung will leave you around 250 to 300 total speed

The CPE Pro is a 802.11ac/a/n 4 x 4 & 802.11b/g/n 2 x 2 device,

This would give you a Max wifi sync rate of 1733 Mbps over 5ghz, half duplex you would see around 800 throughput, but your Samsung is still rubbish at wifi.

But as you do not have a CPE Pro, but a CPE Pro 2, disregard the cost cutting exercise Huawei made on the 2nd model.

How come I get this reported on my Tab S8 Ultra via my CPE Pro 2 meritez?
(5 GHz) :unsure:

(5 GHz) :unsure:
Transmission Standard: Wi-Fi 6, compatible with 802.11ac/n/g/b/a

Transmission Rate: DBDC 2976 Mbps, 5 GHz 2402 Mbps (theoretical value), 2.4 GHz 574 Mbps (theoretical value)

Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz

Antenna Type: Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi antennas

Weird, must be because you are using a WiFi 6e device

Yes the tablet is WiFi 6, just checked my mobile (Also WiFi 6) and it too reports 2.4 Mbps. (Moto G200 5G)

Don't think they are WiFi 6E though.
