Tags: #NX600
Model: Archer NX600  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: Archer NX600(EU)_V2_240927

I finally upgraded my NX600 from the archer M400 and the recepstion was terrible on the NX600 with 4g.
i do not have 5g in the area but i thought at least that the reception was egual to the much older M400.

I am using a external antenna with both devices EMCOM XPOL-2 4G/5G Antenne .
 

Is it possible that the issue can be resolved with a change in the firmware or is the NX600 just not as good as the older M400
 
Settings are equal on both devices
NX600 general speed


M400 General speed

Hi, nice to see you again.

May I know your SIM carrier?

Have you checked the following mobile network status here:

Would there be a huge difference between Archer NX600 and Archer MR400?

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Sorry for the late reply, i am going to my cabin in the forest the comming days then i will check.
I tried remote on the Tether app to get into this menu, but i do not find it anywhere, so i gues it is only shows on the web page locally right?

Okay i think i know what is wrong on the nx600

The EXTERNAL antenna do not have any effekt.

 

If i switch EXTERNAL antenna off or on or even unplug the external antenna and select external antenna all is same bandwidth,  it's like switches on the external antenna function don't have any effect what so ever.

Could it be fault in the firmware ot is on the latest v1 firmware.

It seems it uses the internal antenna no matter what one do.

 

Carrier Is Telia Norway

 

This is the ext antenna

If I do the same on the mr400 unplugged external antenna signal goes to 0 %
