[Solved] Comparing WiFi Speed on Mi 9T Phone and Computer with Archer T2U, T4U, Huawei B818 Router

Hi,

I have the following problem. I bought an LTE router with 4 band aggregation. When I connect to it with my phone, I get downloads of 100-160 Mbps. On the computer, however, 20-40 Mbps. I tried connecting Archer t2u and t4u USB cards to the computer. It gave no improvement. Moreover, even when I connected to the router with a cable, there was no improvement. I don't understand it at all... I couldn't find an answer in other topics.

I will be grateful for suggestions.


The phone is mi 9t
Huawei B818 router
Orange network
BTS in sight supporting aggregation.

Are you sure cellular data is turned off on the phone then? You are interested in the 5GHz band to achieve higher speeds on wifi than 100Mbps.
Do some signal measurements - https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3158772.html

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I turned off cellular every time.

What about the tests?

3rd and 4th are a bit too high thresholds for me. ad. 2. I have done a lot of such tests. I was switching between the old router and the new one. Between the built-in network card and the USB one. At different times of the day. Main conclusions:
- changes between network cards did not make any difference...
- the new router gives better speed than the old one
- unfortunately, it was never a level like on the phone.

In addition, I switched on the phone between the old and the new router. That's when the difference was most noticeable.

I spent quite a few days on such tests.

I will add that the "old" router is without band aggregation. "New" aggregates 4 bands.

ad. 1, I have a small apartment, I also performed tests standing at the router.

I've seen similar threads on foreign forums where people have tried "everything" - diagnostics, changing network cards, changing power management settings for the network card, distance from the router. And nothing...

Maybe I wouldn't "experience" it so much if it wasn't for the results on the phone.

Many thanks for taking up the topic.

I'm wondering if the problem is with the laptop or the network settings at home? Or maybe Orange recognizes the connected device and limits the speed ... Because I'm really spreading my hands. What can be done wrong in such a situation? The router is set, the bands aggregates itself. You choose whether to select the frequency yourself or split it into 2.4ghz and 5ghz. You connect, enter the password. You introduce yourself between the network cards where the network is selected ... Eh ... You have to put a lot of money into it and here's a linden ....

I see you don't want to help yourself. If you don't show the tests, it's hard to move forward,

Eh... You're probably right. I'll try to make them. Thanks!

Tests done on the "old" Huawei E5577c router. Theoretically, it allows 150mbps...

I also have to admit, a moment of honesty, I returned the new Huawei B818 router and the Achert T4u antenna in anger, humming the anthem "it's supposed to work, damn it!"....

But I still have a phone. When I make it a hotspot, I get even 40mbps.

I don't know if that's any good. Basically, if you could see the potential, I'm willing to buy again... ;p

@ orillion :

if you have >100Mbps on your phone, it would mean that the ether is fine. T4 and mi94 have MIMO2x2 cards so they should download at the same speed, no grace. But you didn't specify the type of wireless card in the PC.

However, the fact that you also have such a low download on the cable would mean that there is some problem on the PC limiting the speed of DL - maybe a firewall, maybe an antivirus, maybe some download booster or maybe you have uploaded something ...

For starters - at what speeds wired and wifi connections are made on your computer - show screenshots of the connection properties of the LAN and wireless adapters.

Second - do it certificated speed test ( https://cik.uke.gov.pl/uslugi-teleko/pomiar-speed-internetu/certyfikowany-mechanizm/ )

The basic one is a cable test, all other LAN users are unplugged, and wifi is turned off.

Hi,

Thanks for joining!

The card in the PC is: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377

I don't understand this part:

"For starters - at what speeds are wired and wifi connections on the computer - show screenshots of the connection properties of the LAN and wireless adapter."

Thank you so much for help!

And listen, can't it be that the network recognizes the computer and limits the bandwidth? Because on the computer you will be movies, games and it is not known what else he dragged, and on the phone it is at most YT? Because I'm looking at the specification of the router, WLAN cards and these are not some cheesy. I don't know, I don't want to believe that it's on my side... :/

Hi,

Thank you for further tips.

Here is another screenshot from inSSIDer

At the router:



Behind a wall:


"MI Phone" is the hotspot on my phone. I added for comparison. It seems to give faster transfers, but it's still up to 40mbps and it's hard for me to say whether it's a matter of time. I think I'll try to run some tests on two computers at once.

Here is more information about the protocol:

In the meantime, I wrote to her. They have declared that they do not limit the bandwidth for computers.

Thank you for your help. I hope Christmas has gone well.

Safe Mode with Networking and test.

If W10 is sitting there, it already suggests problems.

Are LTE antennas included with the router? The fact that the BTS is nearby does not mean that the router connects to it well and aggregates the bands. This is where the help of a friend of mothers451 would be useful, so I suggest reading the topics in which he answered and carrying out the tests he recommended to be performed.

Now the question for 100 points - why don't you connect on 5GHz? B818 knows 5GHz, wifi card too...

I also tried over 5Ghz.

As part of the re-expiation, as I mentioned earlier, I returned all these devices in a rage, while chanting "it's supposed to work, damn it ...!"... So I won't check more for now.

So for now I'm testing what I have. So 72 is 72 Mbps you are writing in. I looked through LTEHMonitor that my signal was very weak. I bought an antenna, it gave nothing.

My phone is still laughing, because with the LTE connection, in nju (without band aggregation), it pulls 60-80Mbps, and sometimes over 100 will fly. And I admit I'm freaking out! Well, what is the difference between my phone and Huawei B818, Archer T4U and the net from Orange (aggregation is turned on, although Orange does not provide it)? Eh ... I think I'll buy a cheaper router that allows you to connect with a cable to rule out problems on the computer side. Possibly an offer from Play...

What you are doing so far is one big misunderstanding, starting with the choice of mobile operator, equipment, antennas that you simply have no idea about and B818 is the least to blame. I wrote volumes on mobile internet on this forum, just read and at the beginning give the location, on the phone with nju do outdoor tests and show the screen from the application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz .mroczis.netmonster&hl=pl and speedtest. On this basis, after professional analysis, everything will be known about the Orange network and what further steps should be taken.

Hey, well... More mercy. I sweated from the above tests, let alone "read volumes" ... But not about that, thanks mothers for joining, I'll do the tests!

Attention, tests are entrusted to professional judgment. Carried by emotion, I drove around my town, so the data comes not only from under the block, but also from under the masts. Top Quality!

Mast 1 (I can see it from the window), Kościuszki Street:

And also mothers, if you help me here, you'll really help me a lot, because I can't work ... I don't know if I repay you with beer or routers, but something will surely be found. Greetings!

The test near Kosciuszko is the 4th sector from this BTS in the LTE2600 + 210 + 1800 aggregation, speeds OK, although the ass does not break off. At Parkowa, the connection is still from Kościuszko, because the LTE2600 band has priority, and LTE2100+1800+800 works on BTS Parkowa, the LTE2600 signal from Kościuszko is weaker and in addition sector 1. Again under the Kościuszko block, sector 1 in the aggregation of bands with LTE2600 as the basic . The house is the same, i.e. LTE2600 + 2100 + 1800 from the first sector on Kościuszki and the signal is sufficient, show the speedtest. In general, the aggregation works, the signal parameters are OK, but the speed is not crazy. For such a base station, B818 is the best choice, it aggregates these 3 bands in QAM, it was necessary to test these 3 LTE bands on B818 one by one, using Huactrl or LTE H-monitor and do speedtests, possible external antenna Dual LTE 1800-2600MHz. Where did the idea to use Orange there come from?

Mothers, how you impressed me at this moment!

ad. Orange, you know what, I've had nju for years, because phones. The Internet was fine until home-office started for good.
Nju does not offer aggregation, so I just took Orange. I was suggesting a phone with speeds around 100Mbps. The phone in general how to connect with B81 range was also great (140Mbps)...

As for the network, would you suggest Play? They have a deal with Huawei 5G CPE. Exaggerated, but in total buying the B818 separately will come out similar.

Here's a speedtest from my phone:



Thanks!

The phone was connecting in band aggregation, you have LTE2600+2100+1800 nju card at home? When it comes to NetWorks stations in Skoki, the one in Kościuszki has an aggregation of 4 LTE bands, but it is fed back via the radio link from BTS T-mobile in Hate, unfortunately, but only 500 Mb / s, the one in Parkowa does not have LTE2600 and the radio link is also 500 Mb /s Hates. So, overall, it's not very good and it's not going to happen very soon. Play has a base station with LTE2600 + 2100 + 1800 + 800 aggregation on Parkowa, it is 5GR, i.e. with fiber optic transmission, from it there is a 1107 Mb / s radio link to Kościuszko, where there are also 4 bands in the aggregation. These stations have much more potential than NetWorks, which was shown by the speedtest. To him, show screenshots from NetMonster. The offer in Play is much better and the selection and prices of equipment compared to Orange is space. When it comes to Skoki, you enter here http://www.gsm.poznan.pl/ and you have everything at your fingertips

Hi!

Thanks a lot!

And would Netbox also work for me? The offer is more favorable, but I do not know how it works, or whether it aggregates bands, etc ...

Regards,

There are 3 CPE LTE in Play, the older ones with the aggregation of 2 LTE bands, i.e. WF830 and B2368, I do not recommend them for a Play network like yours and the latest MF258k with aggregation of 4 LTE bands with QAM256. MC7010 is the latest 5g/LTE CPE but its price is very high for you redundant.

Hi,

Happy New Year!

I ordered Play with Huawei B818. Should be this week. We'll see how it goes.

In the meantime, I was at a friend's who has a fiber optic cable. They connect via WiFi I had max. 50 mbps... So that's another problem for me.

Nevertheless, I am very happy for your help and your very professional advice, Mothers!

Regards,

Hi,

Here are the tests on Play, Huawei B818.

Speedtest phone (5Ghz):



Speedtest computer (5Ghz):



insider:



Network Settings:



The computer gives bodies all the time. On the phone speed as in the case of Orange. But it's cheaper on Play. :)

If you have any suggestions on how to get to grips with the speed issue on your computer, I'd appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Connect to the Huawei_B818_68BF network without the addition of 5G because here you have a very low max rate, which translates into low internet speed.

Hi,

Speedtests on 2.4Ghz

Telephone:



Computer:



For comparison, a 5Ghz phone:




I don't know why my computer's WiFi is so weak... I haven't found any reason so far... :/ The strangest thing is that the results are poor, even when I connect via cable (Huawei B818 gives such a possibility).

There is a clue. With safe mode on, the speed reaches 100Mbps... Now how to get it in normal mode?

Very simple:
- look for what causes it in Windows (and since it's W10, it can be anything), the problem may be caused by an update (related to another),
- reset the system to the initial values, block all updates,
- clean install, block all updates.

What is the most effective - all with a single or maybe all together...
W10 is crap, hypely called a system, and it's actually a service where MS constantly tinkers with something.

There were at least 10 versions of W10 alone, and every six months MS releases a new version, over time abandoning the previous ones, breaking them and doing the same with new versions - in general, W10 is a drama.

Hi,

I did a number of things, after which there was a significant improvement:

I have disabled the QoS packet scheduler
I minimized the % of transfer reserved for updates
I have disabled other computers from downloading updates from mine
I disabled background apps from settings
I set a new parameter in the registry: "NonBestEfforLimit"
I unchecked "allow the computer to turn off this device" in the network card settings


Any of the above or all of them improved the speed from about 20 to about 40-50

Then:
I set the autotuninglevel to normal (in cmd I entered the command: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal)

After this change, it started to accelerate to 80-100

It's still not in safe mode, but something has moved.

It's just that my qualifications have been growing exponentially since I registered on this forum... ;p

Also try this:
Type cmd in the search box, right-click cmd in the list, select Run as Administrator, and then select Yes.
At the command prompt, run the following commands in the order indicated, and then check if the connection issue is resolved:
Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
Wait a few seconds for confirmation that the IP address has been released.
Type ipconfig /renew at the command line.
Wait a few seconds for confirmation to reset the IP address.
