Mofi 3500 w WideAnt2-X

Post by OrganicMichigan »

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me out here. I started out using a Wilson Outdoor directional panel on my roof but I wasn't able to get a strong enough signal. So I upgraded to this WideAnt2-X. I was pulling speeds around 10-15 mbs over the past few months but that has been dropping to below 5 consistently now and I'm not sure why or how to improve it. Have a few hills and some trees between me and the nearest tower 2.5 miles away. Any advice on how to increase my speeds? Screenshots of my stats are below.

Being on a 5Mhz band (your B12) may be the first issue with speed, and you may also be on a congested tower. Try locking it out of Band 12. Your signal could be stronger, but it seems ok. Doesnt really look noisy. I like the SINR value for that, over RSSI or RSRQ.
I think the AT terminal command AT!GSTATUS? will get that command for you.

Thanks for the response. Have to admit I'm a bit of a newbie so I'm not sure what the last part re SINR means!

I see I can bandlock on one band but how do I exclude just band 12?

Go to advanced bandlock on the menu, and check B2, B4, and B5. Leave B12 unchecked.
