I have just received a second hand 4gee router today.
I wanted to try it out and see what speeds I could get before I purchase an unlimited data sim so, I put the one from my phone in and the speeds I am getting are very poor, nowhere near the speeds I get when doing an ookla test on my phones 4g.
I'm not sure why the speeds would be so different, @Rysaboy.
If you did take out a contract with a new 4G router, over the phone or online shop, you'd get a 14 day period to return it. That should give you enough time to test new equipment sent directly by us.
Rysaboy.. that is very odd. I've just done the same Ookla test with my phone/4G router and my download speeds on both are around 50Mbps. The 4G Router does need a decent signal - how many bars of signal strength is it showing? It is advised to place the router on a window sill on the side of the house where your transmitting mast is for best results.
I see, one of the benefits of our distance selling rules is that you can make sure that the equipment that you're looking for works fully and for you to test it out, @Rysaboy.
It could be a problem with the second hand router that you've bought.
