Hardware: RT-AX58U
Firmware: rmerlin 3004.388.7
Issue: low transfers when connected via USB to android phone with 5G connection (Samsung and Xiaomi)
GSM operator: Orange in Poland

Because my ISP upload speed is only 18Mbps, and I need to upload ~500GB of data, I wanted to use my phones 5G connection, where upload is way above 100Mbps
Unfortunately, whatever I try to set things up, I always end up with download capped at 1-3Mbps and upload at 20-30Mbps
So far i tried:
  • "Select USB Device" set to Auto/Legacy
  • "APN service" set to "internet" and "internetipv6"
  • "password" same as above
  • change authentication to none/PAP
  • "USB adapter" always set to AUTO
  • MTU from 0 to 1500
  • enabling IPv6 in router settings
  • changing USB3.0 to USB2.0
  • switched between two different phones (XIOAMI and Samsung, two different SIM cards)
  • CPU is used at 15% maximum.
Any ideas where to go next? What can I possibly change to make it work faster?
 
Many providers will cap speeds while tethering.

Oh, didn't know that, thanks for sharing.

I just connected the phone via USB to a PC with windows 10, and tethering works fine. It seems not to be capped at all (both upload and download)

Any ideas what more can I try?

No idea, sorry.
