MR1100 (LTE hotspot) slow cellular internet ONLY when connected via wifi
I have an unlocked MR1100 LTE Nighthawk. I am on T-Mobile. When I connect the MR1100 to a Windows 10 PC (Dell XPS 13) over USB, I confirm internet download and upload speeds of 30 Mbps (in both directions). When I connect to the router over wifi, the LTE connection slows to 0.500 Mbps. This is a new router.

Hi peppersalt,
Hows the MR1100 working on Tmo for you? I unlocked my MR1100 and have briefly tested it with my Tmo hotspot SIM, but AT&T is main carrier so I haven't really driven around with it on Tmo. What bands are you usually connecting on?
Which Wifi bands are you using / do you have enabled? Wondering if you're picking up Wifi interference on your current channel.

- The LTE modem is working without issue on T-Mobile. Although I did just notice the router shutoff by itself, but that's independent of cellular network.
I'm on LTE Band 4. The wifi channel isn't an issue, as there are no other interfering wifi devices in our area. However, I did change the channels to 11 and 153 on 2.4 and 5 GHz.- As an update, I am now seeing these slow speeds when I connect the MR1100 via ethernet to a wifi router. This appears to be a software related issue. Something is throttling network access.
