Aircard AC810 with with Smart cradle - cannot get good throughput on 4G 3 CA

I cannot get more than 230Mbps whereas I should be getting about 400 to 450Mbps.

 

I have 4G+ signal three bands of 20MHz with carrier aggregation, 2x2 MIMO and 64QAM.

 

Problem is not with signal or the 4G+ network since I  get 400-420 Mbps with a Samsung 4G+ smartphone in the same position.

 

Shoudl I ask for a warranty replacement or is this just some configuration I need to do to make it work properly?

  • It wont get any better, it is rubbish. The 4gx works better on its own. and dont bother with external aerials, they make no difference

      Did you manage to get better throughputs with the 4GX on its own, how much better?

       

      I tried it on its own as well but still couldn't get better results, but then I could of course only use WiFi or USB which I don;t know if it can handle that sort of throughputs.

        The throuput was doubled, but i cant remember the figures, but of more importance to me was that the wifi range was also doubled. i put the cradle back in its box and out in the shed, who's got time to waste trying to get it fixed?
