Why is the wifi slower on the US version of the Nighthawk M1 then it is in the Australian version on Telstra? People are getting real world speeds of 200+mbps over WIFI? Whereas I can only get max no ...

Hi emtr3,
I'd say trying taking it to an AT&T store and see if they will swap it out for you.

I have the mr1100 i'm guessing the second iteration with band 14 support, I have the 6420B model. Firmware is 12.02.06.01 and is current fota fw. I'm unclear of its support on the 14 band but the problems not signal its just the wifi, I guess I'll just have to wonder to the area where I get 4CA on my s9+ to find out. I know i get manic speeds there but havent tried in a while with the m1 modem since the last time I tried it, it was still 30/30mbps last time I tried wondering about the hot zones with 2CA &3CA towers. The speeds on this new cat 16 modem with the s9+ are quite consistent. But I fear now I might have a faulty radio or just too much 5Ghz interference, I've accounted for the crowded 2.4g by disabling it but even then only a 10mbps (40/30) max before it settles down to 30/30 or sometimes 20/30 which doesnt make sense considering that uploads usually 5-15x lower than downlink.... in the common area I use it over ethernet I get on average 80-105mbps, but cannot exceed more than 40mbps for like 2seconds also on many devices, GS9+, GS8, note 4, and a simple little 2.4g tablet.

Maybe it's a broken uplink antenna or faulty device. As you can see it's got quite the upload definately enough to support download speeds of up to around 300mbps theoretically but it's just not pushing me the speed I want.
