So i have my unlimited data sim in a 4g TP LINK MR600 router and im ive noticed i can change the bands from 1,3,7,20,38. (there are more available but i dont think they work with ee). I live in birmingham near city centre so does have anyone have any suggestions on what 2 bands i should choose?
Also ive noticed i only get 2 upload only while i get 50-90 download which i believe could be the router but im not sure.
I'm not familiar with the specific router software, but ideally you should leave all bands enabled and not specify.
EE have 4G on Bands 1 (2100Mhz), Band 3 (1800Mhz), Band 7 (2600Mhz) & Band 20 (800Mhz). Carrier-aggregation, combining multiple bands to improve performance, is widely used.
Band 20 (800Mhz) is primarily a coverage-expansion layer with minimal capacity.
No there is not. However if I disable band selection, it connects to 3 and 7.
In which case I would recommend band selection is left disabled and the software will choose the best performing bands wherever you are.
The speeds you're getting are broadly in line with what I'd expect for an urban area, caveated by it being dependent how much bandwidth/capacity is available within those bands . Are these constant/consistent regardless of time/day?
