Nighthawk M5 (MR5200) Uplink speed starts Fast then drops to 2Mbps
I am getting frustrated now, because I have now taken out an EE contract to use since I have 5G in my area with them and not with three... I have noticed that yes the device starts fine 60-108Mbps...
Since posting My speed has dropped from 10Mbps Uplink to 0.5-2Mbps, and because I'm trying to Backup (using Uplink), the downlink speed is suffering
I suspect what is happening is the Cell(s) the router is connected to are getting saturated and the router is not actively checking the surrounding cells to see if there is more bandwidth available and therefor not switching. Instead what I have to do is either turn the data off and on, or reboot the router. This is unacceptable.
Could you please help to capture a model.json file and send PM to me?
- Logon to the webui (http://192.168.1.1 ) as an administrator
- Navigate to URL http://192.168.1.1/model.json via the same browser window
- Capture the results (by selecting all + copy) and send it backThanks

Could you please set the device to LTE ALL in Band Region to see whether the UL drop issue goes away?
Thanks
John
