Hi,

 

I'm having a problem where the hotspot is throttling the speed to my pc. On my phone I get 5g at about 300mbs consistently but the hotspot is throttling the pc to about 10 mbs. Can anyone help?

Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar issue where I can get 350mb to 450mb on my phone but when hotspotted, my PC gets about 70mb

Hi I managed to get my speeds much better so I will copy paste here my findings that I posted on my thread:

So originally I was getting 60MB to 80MB speeds

  • If the phone isn’t charging while hotspot is active, you’ll get lower speeds
  • Using 5GHz band on my hotspot bumped it up to 200MB/s from 120MB/s
  • Disconnecting my hotspot and then USB tethering it to my PC (USB-C to USB-C cable) I was able to get an even better 300MB/s. However, the phone does feel a lot hotter although seems to tolerate it well with no temperature warnings or anything.

Hope this helps
