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.
