Will Router type improve Rain LTE?

[Kalle79]

I’m currently using Huawei B315 router it used to be great. Will it get better if upgrade to B618 or ZTE 286c

More than likely not.

More than likely not.

I disagree. The b618 should be quite a bit faster.

It won't make a tower less congested as the OP is implying with "used to be great".

The 4x4 mimo could make a difference. Best option is to borrow one and see what happens

I guess so.

It didn't help me though. I used a cellphone hotspot and was/is slow on rain. When testing with a B618 it gave the same speed as the phone.
I now signed up with a local Wisp and canceled rain.

Ditto. Congestion, you can't work around that m

Sure. But if OP already has good signal, and the speed drop is due to factors outside his/her control (eg, congestion), they are going to spend money and be disappointed.

Hence why I said borrow to test. There are a variety of possible options for speeds falling off. Assuming congestion is simplistic.

I know. It just seems that most people's problems here stem from congestion. Nonetheless, it is worth a test sure.
