About this deal

Laitteen mukana toimitettavat lisäantennit kannattaa kiinnittää reitittimeen, sillä ne vahvistavat verkkosignaalin vastaanottoa. I have tried powering it off for an hour to see if it made any difference, but it didn't, it still only connects at LTE speed. I have also noticed that sometimes the web interface which always shows 4G, has occasionally shown 4G+, but only for 10 seconds at a time.

box which is good on VOIP, but when I was testing the B525 I simply plugged the phone into it, and used the same provider for incoming and outgoing.This work differently, a second router in DMZ actually leads to double NAT (hello DDNS or VPN for example) and "is not the proper way to do things" besides configuring everything on one device is easy, DMZ in some case are dangerous (some protocols simply do not works in this scenario). I downloaded it from a French site including PC boot loader software and windows drivers, took the cover off the router to be able to short out 2 wires so it booted into firmware mode and then connected it to a PC using a USB cable. In the two locations I use mine with 3/Smarty my 525 and also a 535 now show 4G+ even when idle - when left on automatic and not selecting bands - not downloading. There is no way I can really justify having it but there is something very attractive about it - it is the exact opposite of all the slick dumbed down consumer products and I will be keeping it. I've tried this Today but can't seem to boot the router into USB mode, it just boots into standard mode.

And given Three and EE have a lot of their masts run in a joint venture by MBNL, once upgraded, you might look at EE performance as well. To add to the mix I have a Teltonika Cat6 'industrial' type modem/router (RUTX09) arriving tomorrow. The device clearly has say on which cell it connects to, and must be using some internal logic to move over to a poorer cell site that will support ultimately better throughput.There’s no landline required and no engineer visits, you just insert a SIM card, plug it in, and complete a basic setup process. Leaving the device alone after switching on / restarting can lead to CA never being activated, or taking many hours. Because of this I did not realise the signicance that the Tp-Link was Cat4 but soon discovered that Cat6 may be better. This has the added advantage of more reliable speeds on 3G, where I seem to have contention issues if I have 4G and the speed isn't as good during the day. Even in the corners of my house furthest from the router, the wifi coverage is great and at worse I will see 20Mps down.

I should add that although I am in the suburbs of a city the signals here are not very good and the side of the house where I have been testing has a lot of huge Beech trees that are all in leaf at the moment which may not help. Obviously on Three, band 20 (800mhz) only has 5mhz of capacity, whereas band 3 (1800mhz) has 15mhz of capacity. Speeds are still pretty poor so even when you get the best that o2 can give, still ain't good enough. Which lead me back to this forum, as yesterday I purchased a TP Link MR400 in the hope this would offer me everything the B525 would, plus a better and more flexible settings list.

I could still have installed the original firmware, if I had any way to get a copy, but although I found loads of different versions of the firmware, none were the version I had before, and the only ones that seemed like any improvement refused to load. Unfortunately at the moment there is no AYCE available from them so I have been concentrating on Three which has to be the only realistic choice at the moment for us. Prepared to be shot down as new to the table but why cannot local updates via LAN be more widely used as opposed to USB to USB?
