Hi All,

Initial speed testing with my new Cudy 5G NR AX3000 are a little disappointing compared to an iPhone 12 in the exact same location using the same SIM card.

I took the AT&T nano SIM card out of my iPhone 12 and put it into the Cudy which is sitting on my desk, next to the iPhone.

I tried configuring the following AT&T APN's and no speed differences were observed. broadband, nxtgenphone and also tried leaving the APN blank (AT&T service still worked with auto discovery)

I attach the results.

As you can see the iPhone is getting 121 down and 35 up and the Cudy 5G best results of 79 down and 29 up.

Do you guys think this is due to the less capable modem in the Cudy 5g - a Quectel 55 and the iPhone reportedly having an X62 ?

I'm considering returning the Cudy and purchasing a router with a better X62 modem from Wireless Joint.

Thanks
