Router ZBT WE826-T can't connect on 4G

[tatolo]

Thank you for the tip about the key mismatch, it worked.

"type": "lte",
        "rssi": -70,
        "rsrq": -18,
        "rsrp": -98,
        "snr": 4.800000

So, it is on 4G/LTE. I will have to ask on Quectels forums.

now is raining here, and signal is poor for the smartphones, but for the router I can not even navigate on the internet

  "type": "lte",
        "rssi": -72,
        "rsrq": -17,
        "rsrp": -103,
        "snr": 2.600000

any ideas? i can not imagine how a phone has a better signal reception than a router with 2 antennas

I have written my own script to handle this situation. Having mwan3 for auto-failover between wan/wifiwan/wwan it is either auto triggered here, OR using periodic checking. Not using ModemManager at all.

As I wrote earlier in few other threads -
you should compare apples with apples. The phone used as a reference should

• use a single band (no Carrier Aggregation)
• use the same band as the modem
• be connected to the same Base Station (e.g. report the same Cell Id)

Found the problem, it is the poor/weak signal. Maybe I can try a better antenna? Regarding Connection Signal Noise Ratio, with the actual readings (different position inside the room) I got 10mbs which is much better than 2mbs I was getting with SNR 2.6

last readings:

 "type": "lte",
        "rssi": -56,
        "rsrq": -9,
        "rsrp": -82,
        "snr": 26.400000
