Many people rely on the internet through 4G networks, whether using mobile phones or routers that depend on SIM cards. If you're looking for the best way to achieve high and stable internet speeds, here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding and improving the performance of your 4G network at home or in the office.

• Why do you need fast internet?

• Uploading videos or downloading large files.

• Improving online gaming experience.

• Ensuring a stable connection when relying on the internet for work.

Basic Steps to Improve Internet Speed:

1. Choose the Best Location for the Router

   • Place the router or phone in an open area near windows.

   • Avoid placing it near metal objects or concrete barriers.

2. Understand Network Signals Using Your Phone

   • How to view network information:
     For iPhone or Android, you can view detailed network information.
     On iPhone, open the network dashboard with the code:
     Dial 3001#12345# then press call.
     The "FTM Dashboard" will show network details.

3. Measure Signal Performance (Signal Metrics)
   Key indicators for understanding signal quality:

   • RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power):
     Shows the strength of the signal reaching your device.
     Best value: Between -80 and -90 dB.
     If it’s below -90, the signal is weak.

   • RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality):
     Measures the quality and stability of the signal.
     Best value:

     • From -5 to -10 dB: Excellent quality.

     • From -11 to -20 dB: Good quality.

     • Less than -20 dB: Poor quality.

   • SINR (Signal Interference Noise Ratio):
     Measures the level of noise interference in the signal.
     Positive values are essential:

     • +20 dB or higher: Excellent quality.

     • +10 to +20 dB: Good quality.

     • Less than +10 dB: High interference.

4. Compare Network Performance in Different Locations

   • Choose several spots around your home (e.g., near windows or open corners).

   • Measure the three indicators in each location.

   • Identify the spot where you get the best values for RSRP, RSRQ, and SINR.

Additional Tips to Improve Performance

• Restart the Router Regularly: This can improve the connection with network towers.

• Use Airplane Mode: Toggle Airplane Mode to reset the connection on your device.

• Signal Boosters: If you're in a weak signal area, try using network booster devices.

To ensure optimal 4G performance, regularly check the three key indicators (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR) and select the best spot based on your measurements for the best signal and quality.
