TL-MR6400

Kurn

Hi all. I have a TL-MR6400 TP link with a 4g three mobile sim card. Getting terrible speeds. 1-3 MBps. Tried the sim in my phone and getting 30/40. Any ideas if theres a config setting i can change or maybe its just the modem? Any pointers appreciated.

i don't want to buy their 5g modems as theres a 24 month contract

That router only has a CAT4 modem which is not much good nowadays. It limits you to one LTE Band.

Look for a router with a more modern modem, such as a Huawei B818 which should give you much better performance, as It can connect to multiple LTE bands simultaneously, potentially giving you far better speeds

You should check the cells your phone is connecting to using cell mapper app.

I was having the same issue and found that my router was connecting to different cells. Was able to change settings on router using huactrl app. Not sure of similar app for tp-link

I ended up buying ZTE MC801A 5G Wifi 6 Router second-hand.

Waiting for CEX to deliver now.

Much better. Not getting superfast speeds or anything like that. But streaming is not interrupted or slow which is what I wanted as I stream my tv viewings.
