@benparker The MR200 router is only a 4G CAT4 router where your phone and Huawei are 4G+ CAT6/7+ devices?  4G+ uses two bands to download/upload traffic, so will improve your download/upload speeds.  If you want a 4G+ router then use the MR600 CAT6 router?

@Fl1nst0ne thanks for the reply. What speeds does it max out on then? When I tried it Friday I saw it going 80Mbps but the Huawei was over 100 so left SIM in there until I tried again and it doesn't go up.

@benparker The MR600 4G+ CAT6 router theoretically has a download speed of 300Mbps and upload speed of 50Mbps but other factors are also involved I.e. Proximity to mast, congestion on mast etc.  I also have a 4G Max Vodafone SIM and I currently get 70Mbps download and 20Mbps upload, but then again for Band 1(2100Mhz) I am edge cell and Band 20(800Mhz) mid cell <-> edge cell.

@benparker  The MR200 4G CAT4 router theoretically has a download speed of 150Mbps and upload speed of 50Mbps but as mentioned above there are other factors also involved.  I previously also had the MR200 router and upgraded to the MR600 router as wasn't that impressed with the download/upload speeds I was achieving.

@benparker Definitely worth the upgrade.  The best CAT4 router I tested was the D-Link DWR-921.  I was getting download speeds of 30-50Mbps and upload speeds of 5-10Mbps.  Unfortunately, in my case the DWR-921 needed rebooting once a day to maintain the expected download/upload speeds.  When I upgraded to the MR600 CAT6 router, I am now getting download speeds of 55-75Mbps and upload speeds of 15-20Mbps

@Fl1nst0ne any reason you didn't go for a Huawei?

@benparker At the time I couldn't get hold of any Huawei routers to test and as the MR600 router was highly rated, I ended up getting it and haven't looked back
