Hi, I just setup a new router with your mobile bredband sim card and see the speed is 35-55 mbits. Much slower than what we had with Tele2 (150mbits). I was told it would be at least the double speed of Tele2.
Not only that - the connection is very unstable. Every 15-30 minutes the internet connection is lost, and I have to restart the router to get it back on again.
What’s going on?
Router is new, just bought it today:
have you tried to place the router in another place in your apartment to see if it works better?
The router you have purchased supports theoretical speeds up to 150Mbps, which in reality can range between 20-100Mbps. Depending on which router you used with Tele2 it might not be a great comparison.
It’s placed near a window now - and I can get 70mbits.
Tele2 came in with cable- with a different router:/
Does this mean I need a better router? And is this also causing the instability?
Do you have any newer mobile phone which you can put the SIM card in and see what kind of speeds you're getting? iPhone XS, 11, 12 etc. are models that support higher speeds. Also Samsung Galaxy S9, S10 and newer supports higher speeds.
Thanks for your help
The phone also has a 3 subscription… it gets 500+mbits
Should I just order the Zyxel router from 3? Or get one like it (a 4g-5g router?)
A router that you've bought from another retailer will probably work as well, as long as it supports the correct frequencies - although a router purchased from the carrier directly will work as it should.
I also believe that it’ll be difficult to find a 4G/5G router with a better price than what Three sells the Zyxel for. With a broadband subscription you’ll pay 2520SEK for the Zyxel 5103 itself. The subscription cost is not included.
