Hi guys
Three 5g went live in the area recently so thought I would test it out. I bought a pre paid sim and tested from my house. I wasn't expecting much but was surprised to see it getting around 600Mb download speed on my mobile phone (Samsung S21 Ultra). I thought I would buy a 5g router for access at home and received the Zyxel NR5101 yesterday, inserted the sim and fired it up. It is averaging 150Mb max. The light on the front was blue which says it is getting a 5g signal.
I have been in the settings and selected prefer 5g signal but it will not connect then. Only auto works. If I select 4g only it work at 4g speed of around 50Mb. I've also placed the router outside to test and it has a good signal but still much lower speeds than I get with my Samsung mobile?
Any idea why it would be performing much worse in the router? Could it be a band issue or compatibility with the three network?
Any advice would be much appreciated
Cheers
Rob
