Connectivity problems
Hi. Your connection speed stays fixed at 100mbps on the LAN and 300mbps on Wi-Fi with your ZLT S10G modem. No matter what you do, the LAN speed doesn’t change, which is causing issues in your ping game. On the LAN, your upload speed is below 1mbps but around 6-7mbps on Wi-Fi. When you connect your phone via USB to the laptop and enable tethering, you get over 400mbps on the personal hotspot—same as with the cable. Your modem uses a Cat8 cable, and you’re using Globe internet. Your laptop has a gigabit Wi-Fi card.
Finding trustworthy information about that modem was nearly impossible, yet it appears to be an LTE/4G device with just a 100mbps LAN connection. The poor ping performance likely explains why it's an LTE model. LTE/4G doesn't always offer the quickest speeds at any moment. Its speed varies based on your location and the number of active connections from nearby cell towers.
However, my device is outdated compared to this router, yet it remains stronger via mobile data.
Tested using the identical SIM card? Agreements may also restrict the data rates, and the modem could simply be a lot of outdated components.
Cellular services operate under varying rules depending on the network type. Each provider may set unique terms for different usage scenarios. This explains why in the US you might enjoy unlimited phone data, while hotspot speeds are restricted—say around 20 Gbps. Similarly, a carrier like T Mobile could promise unlimited home internet through their gateway, but that connection would carry lower priority within their network. Even if your device supports higher speeds, providers often limit usage to manage costs and performance. Cellular connections aren’t ideal for heavy internet users because network capacity has limits. On the other hand, most people rely on Wi-Fi, which many don’t fully understand compared to ISP services. Companies sometimes use basic cellular modems or gateways suitable for average users, offering third-party devices if needed. Check if your provider supports such solutions.
In several nations DFS operates alongside other systems. Within the US various radar types utilize DFS channels, which means routers might pick up signals from non-WIFI sources. Legally it’s necessary to change to a non-DFS channel to avoid interference.
