So not long set up the new rural Internet connection. 4G with directional antenna. Was pointing to a mast. Band 20. RSRP -77dBM. RSRQ -9dB. 75% signal strength. Working. 10 to 20Mbps up and down.
Left for half a day.
Came back and found that the 4G Internet link seemed slow. Checked the router. Now set to 4G+ using bands 1 and 20. Signal strength is 25%. RSRP = -102dBM. So the router had started using carrier aggregation.
Data speeds now 2 to 5 Mbps down. And 2 to 3 up. Maybe if left it would of improved.
So is this normal. When a router tries to bond two bands together it can be detrimental. I presume from the RSRP its not a good signal?
Or can you run on -102dBM RSRP? And still have a useable connection? Was I took focused on getting more than -80dBM?
Help, previous experience, advice appreciated.
I realigned the antenna to get it back solely on band 20 and RSRP of -79dBM.
