My rutx11 has a really really slow modem. The speedtests are 2-3mb download (with an iPhone 15 pro in the same location and with the same sim in 4G I do 150mb).
How come? I am using TIM and Coop voice (Italian) sims.
The firmware is the latest version: RUTX_R_00.07.09.1
In the past I had a similar problem with this sim in the TRB500 and had solved it by updating the modem firmware. Where can I find it for the RUTX11? (I currently have this one: EG06ELAR04A20M4G).
Regarding the speed discrepancy, it’s important to note that modern smartphones, such as the iPhone 15 Pro, typically support more advanced LTE technologies and have enhanced hardware designed for high-speed mobile data. Devices like the RUTX11, while robust, are primarily designed for different use cases and may not match the speeds of consumer smartphones.
A key factor contributing to this difference is carrier aggregation (CA). To see how CA and other factors can affect LTE speeds, please refer to the LTE Speed Discrepancies page.
Additionally, comparing the RUTX11 with the TRB500 helps highlight this difference. The TRB500 is an LTE Cat 20 device with four mobile antennas and higher hardware specifications overall, which allows it to achieve faster data speeds than the RUTX11.
I hope this helps clarify the situation. Please feel free to contact us if you need further assistance.
hi, i understand the answer. but the difference seems too much to me. with the x11 i can’t even open this web page while with the phone i surf at more than 200mb. i did a test with another 4g cat4 zyxel router and with that one i reach 20mb
just for testing can you provide me with an updated modem firmware?
