Dear Mcuadrado,
-Is it normal to get half of the download speed when I use the Netgear Mr6110 comparing to using the phone directly , keep in mind that I'm using the same sim card and I've tested this in different places ?
- is it normal for the battery to drain in less than 5 hours and believe it or not even if I'm using the airplane mode the battery consumption is ridiculously strange !!
- finally is it normal to ask for an updat from a well known company to solve all those issues after paying almost double the price compared to different routers and no one cares about it ? !

Hello
#1 for tput, really is dependent on NW side, even using same sim card, maybe NW reallocated different resources for both based on many aspects, but can you tell me which phone model are u using and which locations?
#2 When it comes to battery drain, we want to make sure you have the best experience possible. We've been running some tests in different settings and have found that the battery life can vary depending on a variety of factors like network coverage, data usage, number of devices connected, content streamed, and device settings. On average, we're seeing about 8-10 hours of battery life with continuous usage, consuming around 6-8 Gbits of data, and having 1-2 clients connected at all times.
However, if you find yourself in a scenario where you need to use the device for an extended period of time, we recommend connecting it directly with the provided power source and using it in No Battery Operation (NBO) to ensure it operates as intended. We want to make sure you have a seamless experience and always stay connected.
Happy to answer more specific questions privately and test with your device about #1
Regards!
