Netgear M6 Pro MR6450 vs MR6550 Very Slow Download Speeds firmware NTGX65_12.01.31.00
I have both of these routers in the U.K
Netgear M6 Pro MR6550 Unlocked (US) version
Netgear M6 Pro MR6450 Unlocked
getting very poor downloads & upload speeds compared to MR6450
on Three UK 5G Network Sim Card
MR6550 - DL 35mb - UL 13mb
MR6450 - DL 650mb UL 170mb
What can be the problem I’m testing them side by side and the difference is ridiculously huge

- I am connected to Three 5G network WIFI on the MR6550, but the download speed are like 4G or even lower I tried both 2.4 ghz and 5G WiFi bands
in the Netgear app diagnostic section under Current Radio Band is - LTE B3
5G RSRP - N/A
5G RSRQ - N/A
5G RS-SNR - N/A
The above doesn’t change at all always stay showing N/A on the MR6550
whereas on the MR6450 Current Radio Band is LTE B1 and 5G RSRP 5G RSRQ 5G RS-SNR are showing digits numbers fluctuating the download speeds are terrible on the MR6550 can anyone please help me what is wrong with this router
The MR6450 is superb very high download
Three Network 5G mast tower is literally only 150 ft away from my house quite close- I even had a MR6500-1TLAUS on Telstra Version which was working perfect on the same Three UK 5G network was getting 5G speeds close to MR6450
MR6550-100PAS - working with No 5G speeds
MR6450-100EUS - working perfect with 5G
MR6500-1TLAUS - working perfect with 5G
I assumed the MR6550 was supposed to be more superior with the most network bands has advertised by Netgear and latest 2023 release model
could you please let me know is there any firmware in works to fix the issue the same which was done on did other versions please JohnPeng

MR6550-100PAS can support roaming to EMEA countries, but the device performance will be compatible with SKUs targeting EMEA contries.
Thanks

- Sounds like your router doesn’t have the correct N band to connect to available N band in your area with subscriber.
Bought the 6500 ATT version. Says unlocked and works with T-Mobile. That is correct. Works with T-Mobile only at LTE speeds not 5G. T-Mobile uses N71. Which this device doesn’t have.
Now need to sell and upgrade to the MR6550 which has the N71.
Check firmware updates, signal strength, or contact Netgear support for troubleshooting the MR6550's slow speeds compared to MR6450.
