My Router Keeps Jumping between Towers as they all show varying signal strengths, but there is 1 tower I believe, which drops my downloads speed to 0.1M..

Is there anyone here who can provide PCI numbers for the Towers shown in the image below, which are near me so I try lock my Router to 1 Tower.

Will appreciate.

Have you tried setting router to fixed?

Yes I have. It did not really help.

If Rain or anyone knows these PCI numbers - they will go a long way to my testing and finding a solution.

I’m in the same boat ...

But having said that ... you need to either get someone who can help with PCI ...

Or ask Rain themselves because after all it’s there towers so who else to ask if not them ...
 
Also question does all PCI have 3 number or can it have more seeing that the router ask for a towers PCI ...
 
I've been looking through the logs trying to find the info. It seems that the device is sending the pci to the TR-069 server but there isn't a value.

Based on the locations given I can see a few towers and I hope I pinned down the location correctly.

  1. cells: [
    {
    "id": "3",
    "pci": "229",
    "prb": "53",
    "rsi": "48",

    },
    {
    "id": "1",
    "pci": "230",
    "prb": "51",

@chatniks. THANKS SO VERY MUCH - YOU ARE A LEGEND.

229 works a treat for me. Locking onto it solves my DL and UL speed problems. Speed is +140MB/s DL and holding.

228 seems to be the offending cell. I got good signal from it, but crap speeds.

Connected Cell ID is now = 13261815861 - which I am assuming is The Reeds.

SI = -85 dBm
SQ = 4 dB
5G Rank = 2

THANKS AGAIN.

How are you locking onto specific towers I thought this wasn't possible?

Wow Please share you we can get these numbers exported the logs a few times and checked.

Its a bit of a painful process to be honest.
I have posted a guide on how I extract the tower information here

The geometry tag will have the location of the tower.
