My router is getting slow speeds/low throughput

Reason: Signal strength is the most likely cause of slow speeds/low throughput.

NOTE: The FX4100 cellular router is configured by default to use the best connection available, so low throughput is rarely related to configuration.

Solution: Check the signal strength reported by your router:

  1. Check the Cellular Signal LED on the device and/or number of bars on the device display.
  2. If the signal is poor (LED is yellow, white, or red, or there are less than three bars), relocate your router to improve signal conditions.
