Hotspot 3G or 4G

Hi all

65 plate S/C using an O2 SIM, gives me a really rubbish 3G hotspot, is this all the systems capable if or is it my SIM data?

Thanks

Carl

its 3G therefore naff by todays standards,

We have to remember that LR up until recently were really well behind the curve with their in car electronics/infotainments systems. Pushing cars out with 3G cell capability when 4G has been around for years was criminal.

If you think that’s bad, my 67 plate is still only 3G compatible. Still, with 4G on my mobile and a WiFi hotspot from that, it’s of little consequence Thumbs Up You’ll need a facelifted one to benefit from 4G, but you lose Aintree Green and that’s much more important Wink

Well worth £450. £4,500? Rather less so Rolling Eyes

Not quite that much Red, but I've always had green LR's, so I skimped on some other features to get the colour I wanted.

Don't worry though, I certainly let LR HQ know what I thought about having to spend so much to get green!! It's astounding that an iconic "countryside" vehicle is not available in the original colour which gave it its name. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad All LR cars from 1984

The Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored Censored 's have put it up 20%!!!

It's mind boggling how these big companies get away with it!!

JLR should be careful (& worried!!), as there is a brilliant review of the new Audi Q8 in the Shooting Gazette this month. I am seriously going to look at that in 18 months time when I change my car. All LR cars from 1984

I agree with Chalky, surely the FFRR is starting to price itself out of the market... it’s just so much money for a replacement, I seriously doubt I will go again, so this one must last. .... I was tempted to just look in the show room the other day, a petrol version was £ 150k OUCH...

Maybe my only hope is on the next model coming out in 2021??? Maybe they will dump all those horrible old model cars on the market for 4/6d ...
Just mustn’t go back into the stealership for two years ! Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

Agree with the above about the RR failing to deliver for the ever greater and rapid increases in price. Don’t forget the £20k jump in price LR added between the L322 and the L405.

I’m beginning to think the LR range as a whole is becoming agricultural compared to the competition. Most 4x4 will do 90% of what the owners want, most rarely go off road. LR produce vehicles with comparatively laggy drive trains, uneconomical engines, poor reliability and 10 year old technology. I had a 2010 S-Class with 100% better tech than my RR.

My wife’s Volvo XC40 has modern technology, a brilliant drivetrain and just does the job. Dealer service is excellent and cheap. She loves it compared to the Evoque and DS Sport she had before this. She’s not going back to LR.

I had a look at the Q8 mentioned by Chalky. I didn’t know it existed. Configured one at £65k with everything I wanted. That’s without any discount. The technology will be outstanding compared to the RR. It will do everything I want it to and has better fuel economy. Only the RR’s image will be missing but I’m thinking that’s worth it when it will cost me double the cost of the Q8 to replace my RR.

i've got a horrible feeling 4g only came in for 2018 cars (even though this was **6 years** after 4g launched!!!).

mine goes from 2g to 3g and in the limited testing i've done doesn't get to 4g.

vodafone confirm sim is 4g.

Andrew Big Cry

this page of the manual refers to 3g only - wonder if aerial is issue?

i can just create a hotspot on my phone to get 4g although...

a) there was discussion that the external range rover arial was better than the one in the phone and then inside the car. stronger signal for calls etc.
b) i have solar attenuating glass which might make signals worse apparently
c) it would be less stressful if everyone used a seperate wifi rather than rely on my phone and fiddle with it while i try to drive (I know it should be set and forget but it never quite is).
d) a 3 network data card can be cheap apparently.
