Can you recommend a 4g router? I think the one I got (ADOC R45) isn't good. I've got the Pontyng antenna but not getting good speeds.

Sim in phone = 40mbps
sim in router = 12mbps#

Weirdly signla strength is good

RF Parameters
RSRP: -98dBm
RSSI: -69dBm
RSRQ: -11dB
SINR: 9.2dB
PCI: 141

Weird. Could you put your router on an extension lead and do a speed test with built in antenna outside?

Also, are you sure the router is set to use the external antenna?

An RSSI of -70 is what I'd call fair rather than good.

Putting the router (no antenna) out the window I get 12mbps.
So it seems antenna is making no difference.

i looked on router settings (192.168.1.1.) and seems to be no option to select 'use external antenna'

RF Parameters
RSRP: -90dBm
RSSI: -66dBm
RSRQ: -11dB
SINR: 16.2dB
PCI: 102

But looking at signal strength without antenna, maybe antenna is making difference.

I just expected to get as good if not better speed with antenna than I do on my pixel 6!
