Speed testing eats a lot of data also can change depending on time of day.
Also the speed test can connect to a different server each time you run the test.
Giving very different results!! I have seen 30Mbps on test then 15Mbps, 5 min later.

Im locked into band 2 so it wont change on me, I've ...

Re: Mofi 4500, strange yagi antenna results

Update, out of boredom i put the router on my roof with the standard antennas and my reflector, ran a 20 ft ethernet cable to my pc. Best results by far 35mbs down and 5 mbs up. So am i getting some major loss through my cables?

Re: Mofi 4500, strange yagi antenna results

Morning guys,

Thanks,

Blake

Thanks for the replies and suggestions guys. Sorry for the late response back as I have been out of town.

I spent a day last week scanning bands, locking on to each one individually and testing using the mofi interface. After several hours of testing and retesting I found that band 2 gave the most ...
