If your Inseego mobile hotspot, router, or fixed wireless gateway device is experiencing unusually slow connection speeds, the issue can typically be attributed to several common environmental, network, or hardware factors. First, poor cellular signal reception caused by physical distance from the nearest cell tower, thick building walls, metal siding, or geographic obstructions can severely degrade 4G LTE or 5G download and upload throughput. Second, network congestion during peak local usage hours or carrier data throttling policies applied after exceeding high-speed data allotments can slow speeds down significantly. Additionally, having too many connected Wi-Fi clients, using an outdated device firmware version, or placing the hotspot in an enclosed area prone to overheating can adversely affect performance. Restarting the hardware or repositioning it near a window often helps restore optimal connectivity speeds.
