How to Troubleshoot Common LTE Wireless Internet Issues

Check Signal Strength

Move Location: Ensure your device is in an area with strong signal strength. Moving closer to a window or higher in the building can improve reception.

External Antennas: If available, use external antennas to boost signal strength.

Reboot Devices

Restart Router/Modem: Turn off your LTE router or modem for a few minutes and then turn it back on to reset the connection.

Restart Connected Devices: Restart your computer, smartphone, or other connected devices to clear any temporary issues.

Update Firmware and Software

Firmware Updates: Ensure your LTE router/modem firmware is up to date to benefit from performance improvements and bug fixes.

Device Software: Keep the software on your connected devices updated to ensure compatibility and performance.

Check Data Usage and Plan Limits

Monitor Data Usage: Check if you’ve exceeded your data cap, which could result in throttled speeds. Use built-in tools or apps to monitor usage.

Upgrade Plan: If you consistently hit your data limit, consider upgrading to a plan with a higher data allowance.

Minimize Interference

Reduce Interference: Keep your LTE router away from other electronic devices that can cause interference, such as microwaves, cordless phones, and Bluetooth devices.

Change Wireless Channels: If your router supports it, change the wireless channel to one that is less congested.

Test Different Locations

Signal Variability: Test your LTE connection in different locations to find the spot with the best signal. Signal strength can vary greatly even within a small area.

Use a VPN

Bypass Throttling: Sometimes, using a VPN can help bypass ISP throttling and improve your internet speed.

Conclusion

Troubleshooting common LTE wireless internet issues involves checking signal strength, rebooting devices, updating firmware, monitoring data usage, minimizing interference, and testing different locations. By following these steps, you can often resolve connectivity problems and improve your LTE internet performance.
