Maybe someone can help to resolve situation with bad working LTE?

Signal strength always good, but speed are low and lose internet connection too often, time out connection to DoH server, ping lost packets, etc

operator BITE, Latvia, <1 km from tower

tried to lock to band 20, to 7, same situation… maybe need to enable mimo 4x4 but don`t know how to do it

modem firmware is EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.002.01.002

Problem resolved by installing 7.16beta3, then 7.16beta4. No more disconnects for already >24 hours and speed always >50 MBit/s, at night 190 MBit/s :slight_smile:

Did you do a LTE firmware upgrade as well?

I already was on latest lte firmware, EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.002.01.002

also scheduled this script to run every 30 seconds, now LTE always works when needed:

:local ipPing ("1.1.1.1")
:local pingip
:set pingip [/ping $ipPing count=5]
:if ($pingip = 0) do={
	:log info ("ping lost")
    /interface lte disable lte1
    delay 5000ms
    /interface lte enable lte1
}

tried to check host by netwach and disable/enable lte, but stop to work after some time.. so scheduled script is better :slight_smile:
