I recently purchased a Pocket Wifi and have been using it for the last couple of days. The signal strength is either 3 or 4 bars out of 5.
Yesterday I was getting download speeds of around 2 Mbps which I was happy with. Today I've been dissapointed to find I'm getting download speeds of 10kbps if I'm lucky.
The setup is the same today as it was yesterday and it's happening on a range of devices. I've called technical support and was told that the problem was that I was too far from the tower.
I'm curious to know the following:
- why am I getting good signal strength if I'm too far from the tower?
- why is there such a difference in the speeds between today and yesterday?
