    Hi MysticBlueNoob

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    Please check your signal strength and network type (for example, LTE 4G is generally faster than 3G). 

    Kindly check as well WiFi interference by powering the mobile router off and on to find a better WiFi Channel. 

    You can also switch WiFi network from 2.4GHz to 5GHz to compare results.

        Hi MysticBlueNoob

         

        Have you tried changing the WiFi channel? 

        May we please know the device SKU (MR1100-100xxx)? Kindly check for an available firmware update.
