Crazy speeds considering I'm 2km away and get about the same. Mostly empty fields between me and the mast too. Would you mind sharing your signal stats? I'm going to ask a friend come over and help walk around with the router outside to see if I can find a better spot.

Thanks Firegod, I was waiting for your reply as had seen you using one previously. NR1701 is all set up, was hoping for a bit more of a boost on the DL speeds, but the UL and latency has improved quite significantly. Currently getting 500/70.

To the NR7101 owners here, I can see you can grab it for £350 now - any reason not to? I'm on 3.

Hey all, I haven't tested it (I use S1 on Windows) but having seen the state of DAWs on Linux over the years I thought this was a pretty big but quiet announcement by Presonus. Seems even omgubuntu picked up on it. edit: can we link to news sites?

The onus shouldn't be on end users to validate the security of a product which is authorised to be sold in the UK, least of all one that is provided by a major ISP.

That sounds perfect. I had found an 'industrial' with 2.5gbe but that would mean routing the antenna outside. I'll wait for this. Tell me about it, my ZTE is still mounted to a mast in an electrical box almost a year later now...

Bad wording on my part - the ZTE is in bridge mode on the WAN side of the firewall.

I think there's some valid points here, but when a major ISP provides them as default gear there's not a lot the majority of users can do. For me the ZTE/5G is a second line and only certain traffic is routed down it (Netflix, Steam, Xbox Downloads etc). Both routers sit behind a firewall and...

Did your speeds return to normal? I have the same problem right now. ZTE MC501A, speeds went from ~800mbit to 70mbit. Connected to the same bands and signal strength is still good (-79). edit: Just stood outside with a mobile and easily got 800mbit+... time to replace this router I think...

Have you tried switching PIA to use wireguard instead of OpenVPN?

Hey all, Just as an update the ZTE is still going strong outdoors and pulling 700/20mbit. https://imgur.com/zF9OX0m I realised I had a weatherproof electrical box from Christmas and moved to that instead of the plastic container. It's getting a bit warm in the sun but I've only ever seen it...

Signal inside the house is unusable so it pretty much went straight outside. Difference wise it is night and day for me, but may vary depending on much signal you get inside. Currently getting 570/20 mbit/s at a distance of 2km from the mast. Compared to the 40mbit max we can get here it's...

Which external router is it? I am tempted so that I can just run ethernet inside.

So.. the 5g antenna arrived at least one thing is going well… accept there’s no difference in signal when I attach it! I’ve switched on the external antenna via the hidden page but I’m still stuck on 4G now that the router is inside. Mounted the antenna in the same place as where the router...

I've disable the internal DHCP service on the 5g router, but if it's buggy this may be true however... I think I found the issue. When the interface comes up pfSense is sending a DHCP request with a preferred IP. I can see in the logs that the ISP's DHCP server is responding and declining the...

Ok, ignore the previous posts, I plugged a laptop in and it got the external IP address. Looks like a pfSense issue!

So this might be my lack of understanding but don't I want pfSense to request a DHCP address - that request should be bridged by the 5G 'modem' to the ISP?

Thanks, antenna is on the way! Seems like pfSense isn't getting on with bridge mode. Everytime I reboot the router, interface, or just unplug the cable between pfSense and the router pfSense broadcasts a DHCP request, the router responds on its internal IP (192.168.1.2) and pfSense gets a local...

You've seen my ZTE sitting in a plastic box outside my window right? :D. Ah so the external antenna does work on the three ZTE... same day delivery on a XPOL-1-5G if I order in the next two hours! edit: could you link the SMA > TR9 adapters you used please? The spacing looks a bit tight on the ZTE.
