SmartSDR - Minimum Link Speed
I’m having trouble with remote access using SmartSDR. My station is a 6600M, a Dell laptop, and I use Xfinity for internet access at the station (at home). Pretty basic - no fancy switching, hubs, routers,etc - fer now! I have connected using outside WiFi or cell networks with no trouble, meaning the access will work.
Recently I was stuck using a Guest WiFi network at a hospital for a couple weeks. Of course I want (need) to connect to my station at home from the hospital. Everytime I do, I get a partial connection: SmartSDR will test OK but never displays any part of the Flex waterfall or radio settings - regardless of the remote device (PC or IOS device). Even DAX and CAT show trouble.
I just tested the internet access thru this Guest WiFi network (when it will connect and test) and found it to be 1.2 mb down and 200 kb up. Pretty bad - huh?!
That got me thinking:
- What is the recommended speed for remote access and SmartSDR?
- What should the minimum down/up speed be for a successful connection? (….of course faster is better….)
- Can they be blocking access using SmartSDR - even tho it tests OK?
I’m interested in your experiences and what speed you have used.
Thanks in Advance for any and all comments and direction…..

I wonder...
Sometimes these Free WiFi "Captive Portals" will only permit Port 80 / Port 443 website traffic. I've encountered blockages for SSH, FTP, email-clients, home-security/automation, my Plex TV/Video streaming server and many other services, but at the same time I am able to browse...
I wonder if your hospital "Internet" is really only "Websites" sub-set? Is that possible?
