Possible Causes:

  • The FWA710's signal strength may be weaker. Typical LTE parameters indicating a good connection are:
    • RSSI: Better than -75 dBm
    • RSRP: Better than -90 dBm
    • RSRQ: Between -3 dB to -10 dB
    • SINR: Higher than 20 dB

Suggested Steps to Improve Connectivity:

  1. Change the Access Technology Option on the FWA710:
    • Navigate to the settings page of your device.
    • Switch from 'NR5G-SA/NR5G-NSA/4G (Auto Switch)' to 'NR5G-NSA/4G (Auto Switch)'.
  2. Relocate the device to enhance signal strength:
    • Position the device higher, preferably near a window to reduce signal interference.
    • Avoid placing the device near large metal objects or in areas with electromagnetic interference.
  3. Confirm with your ISP if 5G coverage is available in your area.
