M1 Speeds Randomly Drop to <1mb/s (AT&T )
Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2022 1:26 pm
Hello all, I'm glad to have found this site! For reference, I have the M1100 using the AT&T Unlimited Car Hotspot plan
Within the last month or so my M1 wireless hotspot randomly drops to <1mb/s maybe once or twice a day - sometimes more, sometimes less - whereas typically I have been getting a consistent 20+mb/s. The weird part is if I switch bands (12 and 66) or restart it goes back to normal. I bridge connection from the hotspot to another router via ethernet but the same issue applies if I connect directly to the M1's wireless network.
I believe this is client-side only because speeds are fine if I use ookla's speed test (ISP to network), but slow when using google's speed test (client to network). Is this a hardware issue? The fact that manually changing bands fixes the issue is what throws me off on that assumption.
Any and all suggestions is greatly appreciated. Happy to provide any other necessary info. Thanks!
