Is it possible to "steal" 4G LTE bandwidth from an LB1120 modem?
My wireless (4G LTE) internet service has been disconnected several times without notice or reason provided.
Until recently, I had been getting excellent bandwidth (AT&T Broadband) but then, suddenly, nothing!
I tried switching to T-Mobile SIMs (twice). They worked fine for one day and them throttled me back to 600Kbps for the next 30 days. Went back to AT&T SIM and got excellent speeds for just over a week but then "poof" - all gone, again!
My Netgear router traffic meter showed I normally do less than 150GB/mo. (avg. 3800MB/day) - well within normal caps, I'm told. We don't do gaming, no 4K TVs, nothing that is high bandwidth, as far as I can tell.
So, I 'm trying to determine what could be causing the spikes that would cause AT&T or T-Mobile to chop me. Does anybody have any suggestions how to trace these spikes - could someone be "piggy-backing" my service?
LB1120: latest firmware, Bridge mode, ethernet connect to Orbi AX4200 Mesh routing system.
