Unfortunately, there’s potentially plenty to misconstrue even in the clarification.

It is amazing what OnlyFans members will pay to watch.
I’m definitely avoiding the “brush” and “beavers” in this discussion.

They are being nice and building you your own swimming/fishing pond. 
Now you are just picking on me 
You guys… 
I have a whole Manitowaning Bay to do that, don’t need them to build me anything. BTW, these are lake beavers, they need the trees for food and huts, no dam building.

I’m wondering what kind of 5G Rogers is using. If NSA, it uses a standard LTE band plus a secondary high speed band, so often status pages will look like 4G. But you’d have to see what that status page looks like during one of the “flukes”. Maybe if you reboot it it will latch on briefly? That’s actually what happens with my phone, my nearby tower is still LTE based 5G (plenty fast but not the crazy speeds of Ultra Capacity 5G). However there is a more distant tower that has been upgraded and when I reboot or come out of airplane mode, I can see it connect to the second high capacity band for a bit.
If it is truly channel B12 (and not N12) then that does imply plain 4G LTE, but just not sure how accurate/trustworthy that status page is. B12 and N12 are the same frequency just different encoding on the data.
I mean a high power 5G signal doesn’t just magically appear. The two logical explanations would be they have 5G and it is down for service or they are adding 5G. But who knows, maybe there is a 5G signal and for some reason the modem is ignoring it most of the time, but that wouldn’t really make any sense, they won’t want you sucking up the 4G bandwidth, just like cable companies don’t want you using DOCSIS 3.0 anymore. 5G is more efficient on their network.
I’m guessing you mean wasn’t? Not a big deal, just curiosity. Hopefully you’ll know for sure and have permanent 5G (and at that point you’ll be happy even with throttled speed compared to the 4G speed so it won’t matter).
Maybe that’s their strategy, make you suffer on 4G for a while then give you 5G and you’ll love them. Kinda like bringing a beat up pickup truck on a first date then showing up in a nice car for the second. Not that I’m speaking from experience.
That’s all that matters. I guess 720 on a 4K TV might be more obvious than on my 1080P one, but still pretty decent, TV might actually even have upscaling in it. I’m guessing you’d have trouble with a 4K stream at the current speeds, most of them are under 20 megs but with fluctuating bandwidth it might be glitchy. I guess since they specifically say they’re compressing netflix you could try a 1080 movie there and see if it looks worse than a 1080 movie via plex. Probably not a big deal either way.
They’re probably having a competition to see who can nail it first. Where I grew up luckily the beavers were not close enough to any houses to cause any damage (if a beaver drops a tree in the woods when nobody is around, does it make a sound?). But a group of muskrats created enough burrows in the wall of a man-made pond and it totally gave out one year. Was actually pretty cool to see, it was in the winter and there was probably 2 feet of ice on top, the ice buckled down into the now empty pond below it. But on the downside, had to walk further to play hockey.
They rebuilt the pond, then about 10 years later people built a house right where all the water flooded. Wonder if it is still there.
The last time I dealt with one was in the 3G days and at that point they worked for their intended purposes (phone calls only when your signal was borderline indoors, or an office building that was too high to get a cell signal). Nowadays both versions (microcell that works over your internet, useless for you, and boosters that retransmit the signal) are pretty rare since everyone has wifi calling, and typically those boosters were used because people couldn’t get calls at home. From what I’ve seen the security/encryption on 4G and 5G requires you to get one of their branded units, often directly from the carrier, and it has to be added to your account. But that may just be micro cells, like I said haven’t dealt with a signal booster/retransmitter in ages.
I’ve seen both versions work for their intended purpose but that was for people who could not get phone calls at home. I’m guessing even if you can get a compatible one for Rogers and they allow it, it probably wouldn’t make much difference. I suppose if it had external outdoor antennas, particularly directional ones, maybe you could get better or more stable 4G speed. Maybe they’ll let you try one without committing any money, but you still have to find the sweet spot and potentially mount an antenna, etc. I’d probably hold out hope that a closer/stronger 5G antenna is in the works.
They actually will get massive buckteeth and then starve to death because they can’t eat if they don’t cut down trees to wear them down. So you’re their dentist basically. That, and they just like being jerks.
Not sure if that makes you a beaver dentist or OBGYN (distinction without a difference I guess).
My only experience with a signal booster involved that. We had an antenna on the roof and cabling down to the booster in the basement server room for IT and the board room to be able to get a consistent signal.
This makes me think of Teeth (2007), which I haven’t seen, and which I therefore won’t be recommending to Frog Lick 👅 Cinema!.
Oh, I have rebooted and rebooted and rebooted, you catch my drift 
When I was testing the gateway at home it was showing both 4G and 5G stats, so I don’t think that’s the issue.
They weren’t an issue until last year. They built a hut couple miles down the shore and were active in the forest but never ventured this way until this year. I saw them this morning (I am up at 4:00 AM) dragging brunches and taking them under my dock, either to eat the bark or try and build a vacation hut 
I aimed a strong flash light at them and they swam away. My neighbour to the right reached out to a trapper who’s coming next week to set up traps. Hopefully that will be the end of them.
I value your input and I will do that. Not to mention, it will save me $300
I totally forgot about that, just like the tree rats
EDIT: For whatever it’s worth, I have all my seven cameras across two properties streaming live all day long on Wyze Web View. I could never get the four at the cottage to connect before. Not sure if it was speed related or ISP related.
I think the beavers are building a new house for their 
friends since you won’t let they use your shed.
I doubt will like leaving in the water 
Hard to say, when looking at the internal diagnostics of my phone it can be pretty confusing especially with NSA 5G. Suppose if you happen to have another one of those “flukes” and can jump in right then you’ll know what it should look like. Or maybe the next fluke won’t end.
I work for a British company, the weekend is supposed to be my respite from spurious "u"s 
When you’re not there just leave heavy metal playing 24x7. Your neighbor will probably like it too.
Maybe Wyze will make a robotic coyote you can deploy to patrol the area.
I’m far from an expert on the current ones, sounds like they are available up there, my gut tells me that unless you want to get into roof mounting an antenna etc, it probably won’t do much (even roof mounted probably wouldn’t be a huge difference). Of course you’d also have to make sure the one you see being sold for $300 is actually compatible and will connect to Rogers’ towers too. I know back in the day the cell companies would have a list of compatible units, but I thought these days they all had to have their encryption key/certificate in them so it had to actually be branded/designed for their network. I guess if the 5G thing never seems to come to fruition it might be worth a try. $300 worth? Not sure on that one.
If you were getting 900kbit/sec upload before, I’m guessing that wouldn’t handle even one cam at 1080. Might be able to do 2 or 3 at 360P. 1080P with Wyze compression from what I’ve observed is around 1.5 to 2 mbit for a single cam (varies based on motion and how detailed the image is).
What can I say, I spell properly
You had to “correct me”, didn’t you
We have real ones around here, I just heard them when I was having a smoke outside. I guess they are too lazy to go after wildlife with all the farm animals on the island.
Maybe, will see.
That’s the thing, I had them at 360p, now I have them at SD and they are rock solid (knock on wood).
EDIT: Scratch the above, web view is 360p anyways.
There are hundreds around me, every time a fire truck goes by they all start howling, and sometimes just randomly. They help keep the rabbit and rodent population at bay. Guess wet beavers (cough) aren’t their forte. Unfortunately for some around here, cats and small dogs are.
Big speakers and death metal it is, I’m sure the neighbors won’t mind. Either that or you’ll just have some badass beavers next time you go back 
Ah, didn’t know that. You’d think 900kbps would be enough for a single or a couple streams but if all your cams were going it was probably just too much. Not sure how they work with web view, if you can watch just one at a time or if they all start streaming when you go into it (even if you’re not watching them all). Could you watch a single one on your phone in 360 with the old service?
I hope the trapper takes care of them by the time I go next.
I could watch all four in a group on my iPad. they would loose connection here and there. I usually had two from the cottage and two from home in a group and they would stream fine on the iPad. On web view none of them would connect, not even in single camera mode. Now with the new service they stream constantly through web view without an issue. That’s why I think might have been ISP related

@dave27 I’m resurrecting this thread to let you know as well update the thread that the issue of throttling third party routers on Nokia FastMile Gateway has been resolved according to Rogers forum. A firmware was pushed about three-four weeks ago that affected me positively. My connection speeds have shot up to 30 Mbps/10 Mbps max and 15Mbps/5Mbps min. Happy as a clam knock on wood

Those speeds are at the cottage? If so, you’re in hog heaven now.
Odd that the throttling was affecting you even at those lower speeds, it seemed like when you first tested, the throttling didn’t seem to have any impact at the cottage, I think we assumed due to the lower speeds there. Or my memory may not be serving correctly.
That I am my friend :), these are last weeks speeds
Your memory serves you well, but I didn’t have anything to compare to as I was getting from the get go 12/2Mbps to 30/3Mbps sometimes dropping to 3Mbps/0.6Mbps. Now, the upload speeds stay close to the 10Mbps most of the time. Download speeds fluctuate between 30-25Mbps but that is to be expected with this kind of internet. I’ve bumped the resolution to all four cameras to 1080p and no problems whatsoever for almost a month.
