Hi, I've just installed the AMR985 kit and tried it out parked on my drive. So far it is very dissapointing.
When I place the phone in the motorhome and use it as a hotspot I was getting around 40Mbps DL on a relatively poor 4G connection.
So I put the sim into the AMR985 expecting a better signal, this was not the case. In the AMR I was getting around 2Mbps!
I tried a smarty sim and an EE sim, both tried in slot 1 only. I even tried disconnecting the antenna connections to check it was doing something and sure enough the signal dropped from -51dB to -81dB in the AMR GUI.
I checked the 4G band my phone is picking up and it is band 3 which is in the 1805-1880MHz frequency range. I can only assume the AMR is not well suited to this band and was picking up something else. Maybe it will work better in a rural location? I hope so.
Anyway, has anyone else had a similar experience?
I have emailed support so will see what they come up with also.
Thanks, Nick.
