im having problem on iphone hotspot speed thru router.
im using mudi gl-e750 v1 (whit last firmware available) in multiwan configuration in load balance mode, one 4g sim inside mudi and one 5g sim on iphone12 mini thru usb cable in tethering mode.
the 4g sim inside mudi its working ok at its maxspeed capped from carrier at 30mbps.
on iphone alone i got speed from 150 to 300mbps. the same it is on macbookair m1 whit iphone hotspot thru usb cable. (so to me it seems carrier its not blocking hotspot speed!?)
i suppose i should get (in multiwan load balance mode) 30mbps from mudi sim, plus 150 to 300mbps from iphone, so lets say something from min 180 to max 330mbps.
the problem is when tethering thru mudi, i never get max speed in any configuration and i dont understand why, it looks like carrier not blocking hotspot speed.. but maybe it does when the iphone hotspot its behind a router?
(even in multiwan failsafe mode, so only one sim at time, from iphone tethering i only have 30 to 50mbps, or 30mbps from mudi sim)
I tried to change ttl in various mode, 64/65/66 in mudi or/and in mac console but no succes. offcourse I yet read a lot and tried lot of guides/settings/conf, sqm, ttl, vpn, luci settings ecc.. whatever but best speed i have its only 60-70mbps.
USB tethering requires significant CPU resources, so the Mudi may not reach the same high speeds as a Mac.
Given that iPhone tethering delivers around 30–50 Mbps on Mudi and the Mudi SIM connection provides about 30 Mbps, achieving 60–70 Mbps through load balancing is within a reasonable range.
@will.qiu Off-topic, but given your response about USB load while tethering, would you advise using wifi tethering instead of usb tethering? I haven’t done any testing on this, but assumed usb would be the preferable option.
Wireless connections are more prone to interference from nearby networks or physical obstacles, so testing in your real environment is recommended.
And using phones for Wi-Fi tethering can increase battery usage.
If your LAN devices are connected via the same Wi-Fi band as the router’s upstream connection, total throughput will be reduced because both uplink and downlink share the same radio.
In such cases, switching to a USB tethering will be a better option.
ok so “you are saying” there is not some dpi/throttle from carrier when iphone is behind the router..
i could try install openwrt on a intel nuc i3 i have, or buying from amazon a puli ax, so i can verify if its capped for cpu requirement..
another thing it iust come in my mind its try an android/graphene os phone as tethering device, just to see what happens..
but to its sound strange the cpu demanding in the router, just because when i use it in intensive manner, the iphone become really hot. so i was thinking its the iphone doing the cpu job.. whatever, i follow your suggest and thanks a lot for help, so so fast reply, awesome forum!!
(please im sorry for bad english and noobs language/sense or inappropriate demanding, i read a lot, i have even bought the ccna 301 books i read on spare time, i love learning things but its really enormous and vary on so many things.)
