Anyone managed to get more than about 230Mbps from an Aircard AC810 on 4G ?
I have an Aircard AC810 with the DC112A cradle and I'm struggling to get the throughput I expect from it. At best I can get about 220Mbps whereas I should be getting over 400. The device is conn...
Yes, but it doesn;t seem to have made any difference.
I can confirm real world DL speed level almost 380 Mbps today with AC810-100EUS using 3CA 64-QAM commercial network.

Great news to hear that it is possible, now the question is how can I replicate it.
What was the setup please? Are you using the docking station and a wired ethernet conenction to the PC or laptop?
What did you use to test the speed, like downloading large files, Ookla speedtest, Iperf or something else?
In this case my car test setup was AC810-100EUS 4G+ connection+5GHz Wifi Galaxy S8+ device with Ookla speedtest app.
You need capable basestation 3CA activated and working. RSSNR level near flat 30 which probably predicts high enough RSRQ levels too(=low interference). Last but not least you have to know the correct time to do this test, I mean when there is no rush hour traffic. Usually enough capacity is free at early mornings. Of course, population density and number of customers using same basestation will affect the performance numbers.
It seems then the issue may be with the ethernet connection through the docking station rather than WiFi.
I will need to try with WiFi and if that works it means the issue is with the docking station, or perhaps the combination of the two. I'm not sure if I'll manage to try it soon as the device is now being sent for replacement (as advised by Netgear support). I'm not sure if it has left yet. I may have to wait for the replacement before trying.
I have no problem with signal level and such since I have the base station all for myself in a lab so its antennas are not picking up any traffic except my own. SINR 30-31 and RSRQ -5 to -7, just about the best they could be as well as the fact that the Samsung smartphone (S6 edge) has no problem achieving the expected throughput.
