Slow speeds on MR6500
I do now have a stable MR6500 but my download and upload speeds are seriously slow using the current firmware version: NTGX65_10.04.22.01 and an AT&T sim. The device is unlocked so I tried a T-Mobil...
After a new software update and realization that AT&T does not provide as fast download speeds as T-Mobile, I'm closing this discussion. The MR6500 may be a good device, but AT&T's infrastructure is woefully lacking in performance.
As additional information, in both cases I was on a 5G connection with the device in the exact same position. I do have a model.json file with the AT&T sim installed.
Strange that a device that's intended to operate with AT&T has lower performance when connected to AT&T vs T-Mobile.
In comparison, my Inseego MIFI X Pro 5G is seeing approximately 238MBs with the same T-Mobile sim installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please send me both model.json files with AT&T SIM and T-Mo SIM by email.
I will check what might cause the performance differences.
Thanks
