Home Internet - 4G LTE vs 5G
My Primary Signal is 4 bars / B66 and my Secondary Signal is 3 bars / n71. My download speeds are less than 100 Mbps. Does that mean I’m operating over 4G LTE instead of 5G?
@jlillard The secondary signal can also end up being 4G depending on the tower and the signal strength. If you end up with a 4G secondary signal, your top speed will be much lower. Your secondary band indicates the frequency used by your connection and that in turn determines your maximum speed. Your actual speed will also be affected by the signal strength, the other users connected to the same tower, and the tower’s backhaul speed (how fast it can send and receive data on the rest of the network).
