Wireless Joint

I received my new LT500 router in the mail this morning. I am running on visible. I have my cell on visible and a mofi 4500 on visible. I got this one for my shop.
I unpackaged the LT500 plugged it in and I must say, setup seemed to be super easy! But I must have done something wrong. My phone gets around 45-50 Mbps upload and 30-35 download speeds. Same with the Mofi. I downloaded and unzipped the new firmware, installed it in the LT500. Set my apn and TTL. When I run a speedtest it only gets around 9-12 Mbps up and 2-3 down. Any ideas? Did I miss a step or something? I've seen that people get a lot faster speeds with it than a phone due to better reception.

Your phone is a WAY better modem. The EC25AF in the LT500 cannot do carrier aggregation and is a lower category modem than your phone. You may want to see what band your phone is connecting to as well. It may be getting a faster band, while the LT500 maybe not.

The LT500 is a cool little router, and super easy to setup, but its no sports car. Your phone is for sure a sports car.

Where can I get the firmware update?

Your The Wireless Haven invoice should have a link. If not email them.

Did you get this figured out? On the cusp of buying this router, and your story gave me pause!

What’s the max speed this modem can get with Visible?

I've gotten upwards of 35-45Mbps on Visible using the LT500. It's highly location depentant really.

~5Mbps up and down is indicitive of hotspot throttling.
