Wireless Joint

I am traveling from marina to marina and finding that the towers are ridiculously congested. Full signal strength, upload 16 Mbps, download 0.3 mbps. On T-mobile and Simple-Mobile. I read an article that suggested that when the highway is gridlocked, you use the side streets, i.e. 3G

Low and behold, using 3G I was downloading at 8 mbps tethered to the iphone. It is easy in IOS to tell it to not use LTE. is there an equivalent way to tell my WE826-GO to not use LTE?

@wherman
3G maxes out at about 3.3mbps so if you were getting 8mbps you were not using 3G.
I believe that is a MediaTek device so there are not alot of PST'S out there for those type of devices.
you should log in to t he devices admin panel, most are located at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
if you cannot adjust it from there then
Try to adjust it by AT command, such as .
at!selrat=09 <---This is 3G only at!selrat=06 <--LTE only
or if that command is not supported you can try
at!band=? <-- to querry band selection and should show you the following
Index, Name
00, All bands
01, Europe 3G
02, North America 3G
06, Europe
07, North America
08, WCDMA ALL
09, LTE ALL

good luck
