Three 5G Broadband 4G upload almost nil

I've got a Three broadband contract albeit I swapped the router to the CPE Pro 2 which provides a more stable signal. Most of the time my 5G is nearly 100% quality on the signal check but occasionally it will drop back to 4g. That wouldn't be a problem but on 4g my upload speed drops to pretty much nil. I've tried turning off 4g but then I get no signal at all, I cannot force it to remain on 5g either. Have to say I'm generally impressed but this little irritation means an occasional re-boot, and the router goes straight back to 5g! Anyone any thoughts, if the 4g speed was reasonable it's wouldn't be an issue.
Thank you
 
Yeah you wont get a 5G signal at all turning off 4G sja0001, as your 5G isn't stand alone, it needs the 4G signal to work.

Just trial and error to see where it gets the best 4G signal in your house.

Even moving it a few inches up, down, left or right can make a huge difference I find.

I've also got the CPE Pro 2, but unlike you I have no 5G here. :cry:

Yes, it's odd isn't it. As you say moving just a few inches, or on my case turning the router a few inches anti-clockwise and signal changes significantly. Oh well, I'll keep trying, thanks
