Using Smarty in pocket wifi
I have 2 Smarty accounts, one card is used in my non-5g phone and I get over 100mbs downloads. The other card I have in a 5g enabled pocket wifi. If I connect my phone to the pocket wifi, my download...
I'm slightly confused. If the pocket wifi has a sim, what download speed does it achieve standalone? I'm not sure I understand why you are then tethering it to your phone. Is there supposed to be a decent 5G signal in your area?
If I connect the pocket wifi to my laptop or my phone, it only achieves 6Mb/s on non-5G. The closest 5G tower is more than a mile away, so I do not receive any 5g signal at my house. It is just confusing to me that if one Smarty Sim ( in the phone) achieves 100+ MB/s why does the other sim in the wifi only achieve 6MB/s? The phone is connecting on 4G and the Wifi is only connecting on 3G even when placed next to each other (so should be receiving the same 4G signal)
