Dual-Cell Radio surf sticks 50% slower than on PC
Region : Ireland
Model : TL-MR3420
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version :
ISP : Vodafone
Hi guys,
Apologies if this is not allowed. I do not have a TP Link router (yet) but wanted some general information first. I'm hoping some modem genius can answer me. I have a Vodafone K4605 surf stick (same as Huawei E372). It is a dual-cell radio modem so in normal conditions it will have throughput speeds twice that of a normal single radio, such as a phone or older previous gen stick. When I connect it to my PC and install the software that comes with it I can get 18Mb/s downstream. But when I connect it to my current router (draytek 2830np) I only get 9Mb/s so I'm guessing it is not using the two radios and aggregating the connection. So I have two questions. My main one is does anyone know if the K4605/E372 needs a special modem string for it to work properly, and my second is does the TL-MR3420 have this issue or could I get the full 18Mb. Also I might be getting a K5006 soon which has three radios. Would the TL-MR3420 support that also and give me 27Mb? Thanks
