MTN Speed Limiting on Huawei B535

[Duke of Hazard]

I have the 400GB MTN BF 2020 PRomo contract with 500GB Day and 500GB Night Data,

In my Galaxy S21 I can stand in the same place where my router is and get 130Mbps all day every day, at its worst its around 100mbps.

However in my brand new Huawei B535 Router with or without bunny ears I will at first get 80mbps, which I'm quite content with, and a few minutes later at most 20mbps or worse.

I've mostly been using the MyBB Speedtest app but also tried the speedtest.net and got similar results, any ideas as to what may be limiting the signal? I bought the B535 to replace by B315s because I thought it was toast and giving us the poor signal

How much are you paying for that contract?

 

[Duke of Hazard]

R499 with dual sim and hopefully tomorrow onward Data share too

The Huawei B535 does not support mimo where the S21 supports 3 x carrier aggregation and 4x4 mimo.

The Huawei B535 only supports 2 x carrier aggregation.

Doesn't explain why at first I get 80mbps for about 30 mins, then 20 or less.

I've tried to contact Huawei Store where I bought the router to log a return now, I suspect the router is faulty, after you log in on 198.168.8.1 you have about 2 mins before it freezes up.
