Mr1100 144 Mbps

I have the MR1100 and wondering why it shows 144 Mbps. Can I get higher and will that impact my download and upload speeds?

    Hi kal8v9, 

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Data transfer speed depends on signal strength and interfering radio sources like electrical generators or other mobile router WiFi devices. Kindly check ths following: 


    - Check your signal strength and network type (for example, LTE 4G is generally faster than 3G).
    - Check WiFi interference by powering the mobile router off and on to find a better WiFi channel.
    - Switch WiFi channel from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz.
    - If the network signal is low, consider using external antennas or cradle the mobile router with built-in
    high-gain antennas.
