Slow hotspot
My phone pulls over 100 mbps on speed tests and I can tether other items, TV, work computer, etc with zero issues. However, my Netgear hotspot only pulls 60 mbps (when working), multiple devices have trouble connecting, says no internet connection on a regular basis and when "working" it is not capable enough for my WFH needs. How can my phone be so much better than a hotspot?!? Only thing I can think of is the dual-band capability of the hotspot may reduce its effectiveness but that is just a guess. I will have to make a change if I cannot get better performance.

I have an ATT hotspot a ZTE model number MF923 device ID ZV-86419478 hardware version xx4A, I have checked for software updates (none are available) and I am running software version MF923V2.6.
I have factory reset the device
There is a brand new sim card in the device
I have called ATT and they have reset the sim card and resubscribed it.
I have rebooted the device several times
I have turned of wifi and connected the hotspot directly to my computer via USB
The best download speed I can acheive is 4Mbps
I do a comparaison test with an IPHONE 11 connected to an ATT tower and I get 51Mbps.
Why am I getting speeds 10 times slower with the Hotspot?
