EE Mobile Intenet - great in online games but choppy in browser

Hiro1234 — Wed, 21 May 2025 18:03:01 GMT

Hello,

I've using GL-X3000 router with 5G EE sim.

My connection is fine in online games, but is very choppy in browsing web pages. Connection will be fine for a moment, then it will hang for 10-20 seconds, then fine again. When gaming, it is stable for hours. Same behaviour over WIFI on the phone/tv

Things I've tried:

- Blocking 5G and using LTE on router

- Restarting router

- factory resetting router

- Clearing DNS and other CMD commands

This post was recommending to force IPv4, GL-X3000 is IPv4 by default, IPv6 is turned off.

Good morning @Hiro1234.

Welcome to the Community 😊

Have you had a chance to try your SIM in a different device such as a phone?

We'd not expect general browsing to be affected in such a way, but it would be good to see if the issue follows the device or SIM.

It appears to be router side, I've tested with another 4G router I have.

Not quite sure how to go about it.

@Hiro1234

Thanks for giving that a try.
With resetting the router you would have tried setting up a fresh Access Point profile, and therefore checked everything twice already.

Have you had a chance to reach out to the manufacturer? They can often remotely access the router to check the logs and see what is causing it to drop out.
