{"answer":"Treat it as a process of elimination. Compare performance at different times, look at signal-quality figures rather than only signal strength, check whether the problem improves with a different antenna position or carrier, and review whether the router\u2019s own hardware and configuration suit the load. A single speed test number never tells the full story.\n\nComset can assist by breaking the problem into layers: carrier environment, antenna system, router capability and application demand. Once those are separated, the culprit is usually far less mysterious.","approval_status":"review_build_pending_public_brain_audit","approved":true,"category":"Firmware Diagnostics and Troubleshooting","category_slug":"firmware-diagnostics-and-troubleshooting","created_at":"2026-08-02T09:10:00+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-08-02","display_date":"2026-08-02","drip_status":"scheduled","freshness_note":"Confirm current specifications, carrier compatibility, stock, firmware, warranty and commercial terms directly with Comset.","id":"comset-qa-128","image_ids":["comset-product-range-antennas","comset-product-ant-lte-006a","comset-category-hero-029-firmware-diagnostics-and-troubleshooting"],"language":"en","last_updated":"2026-08-02T09:10:00+00:00","matched_image_ids":["comset-product-range-antennas","comset-product-ant-lte-006a","comset-category-hero-029-firmware-diagnostics-and-troubleshooting"],"public_brain_verified":false,"publish_status":"published_preview","published_at":"2026-08-02T09:10:00+00:00","question":"How can I tell whether a speed problem is the network, the antenna or the router itself?","question_intent":"public_guidance","question_type":"conversational_public_guidance","real_image_mapping_status":"mapped_to_approved_comset_catalogue_v1_6","site_key":"comset","slug":"how-can-i-tell-whether-a-speed-problem-is-the-network-the-antenna-or-the-router-itself","source":"comset_manual_review_v1_5","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"manual_review_from_public_sources","source_urls":["https://comset.com.au/how-to-find-your-nearest-cellular-tower","https://comset.com.au/product/network-management-system"],"tags":["manual","reviewed","customer_style"],"tenant_slug":"comset","updated_at":"2026-08-02T09:10:00+00:00"}
