<p dir="auto">See, heard some stuff that such routers lose their capacity when they get plugged-unplugged or something. A provider guy though told me he'd never heard of such things...<br />
O'k.<br />
Next.<br />
Now I'm left with using a USB-modem for the time being, and the upload speed is not just low - it's AWFULLY low: bearable if you're sharing a photo but not if you upload a video like some cartoon or something.<br />
It <strong>might</strong> be that it's the mobile internet provider's fault or feature, kinda, but I've got to think that this little tiny modem is just -- well, it might catch fire because uploading, it burns energy (modulated) so that the mobile internet provider's station can "hear" it, right?<br />
Well, I think what? Via cable it doesn't matter - hither or thither, right? But in the case of WiFi connection, my little poor notepad will burn data/energy to the router. Sure, the router is closer than that provider station but still - is usually the upload speed via a router lower than via cable?<br />
What about such and other router capacities do you know, guys?<br />
Do they heat much?<em><img src="https://forums.opera.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f642.png?v=qqje97jok90" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--slightly_smiling_face" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></em> Do they <em>cook your brain</em>?</p>

This was in reference to how slow uploading can sometimes be with 3G USB modems for some situations.</p>

<p dir="auto">YMMV is a modern acronym for 'your mileage may vary', which is a mimic of the fine-print automobile fuel mileage disclaimers and meaning the results will vary (perhaps greatly) for different situations.</p>

<p dir="auto">I know that about modems (this kind).<br />
Have you ever used a router? WiFi connection anyway?</p>
<p dir="auto">And who's that <em>YMMV</em> guy?</p>

Upload speeds routinely will only be 1/2 to 1/3 of download speeds - or even less. If you've got an older or inexpensive modem running over 3G to a mediocre service provider, an upload speed of 1.5 Mbps might be typical, but it would not be surprising to even see it sub-1 Mbps. Moreover, these kinds of modems can indeed use a lot of power (hence produce a lot of heat) since they are transmitters as well as receivers... and again, YMMV with respect to the brand, the connection provider, and the radio-noise environment.</p>
