EE PAYG 4G Mobile WiFi router on Smarty very slow?
@Lemon1092 Do you think that the Smarty signal uses another mast maybe?
To be fair, Smarty do advise against using mobile data as a replacement for broadband as the signal stability cannot be guaranteed, even if you did get a good signal.
It may just turn out that the service won't meet your needs unfortunately.
Hmmm I thought it piggybacks off 3, which also works fine here. I guess Smarty must just have poor signal compared to the main networks.
I was wondering if the APN settings could potentially be a factor though?
Lemon1092 Yes, Smarty does piggyback off 3 - you didn't mention that you got a good signal from them also (only EE & O2). I think it reasonable to assume that 3 customers get priority over smarty customers though.
APN settings once set to mob.asm.net shouldn't matter as far as I know. I changed mine many moons ago to roam in EU and have never reverted them.
