Boost Sim in a nighthawk m1

Band 28
-86 dbm
I had a play around with the location of my nighthawk and current spot seems to get a decent signal
I think with tweaking its going to outperform nbn wireless :D

Is download being throttled?

  Wireless performance is all over the place depending on location and then it varies with local conditions still so it's hard to say.

  Have you tried turning it OFF and then back ON?

  Check temps, anychance it's overheating?

  Think that's been the cause of my slow downs with it.

  Plug in directly with a network cable and perform a test.
  You will be able to see if interference is occurring.
  Also if it has a 5ghz wifi band try that instead.

    Did all those

    I also tried an optus sim then ran a few tests
    Results all came back normal

    It seems like boost has capped download but not upload speeds (at my local tower atleast)

  Do you get the same dbm rating?
  Download a signal app and try with Optus and boost sim cards.
  The Optus tower or antenna may be situated in a better position :(
