Maximum tethering speed via USB?

[AC Question]

UE running speed test can achieve 3-400 Mbps but tethering via USB (3.1) around 200 something, wonder this is the bottles neck of USB tethering, USB cable issue or other? Pls kindlt advise, tks.

Also, USB 3.1 can support 5 Gbps, seems it cant apply tethering, right?

You don't say which phone you're using. Many phones are still USB 2.0 so you'll still be limited by that speed. As an example - my Nexus 6P, despite having a USB-C port, is still USB 2.0.

Hi Hallux,

I'm using dummy UE (2CC, 4X4 MIMO) and confirmed USB 3.0 is supported.
