That looks like the one I ordered. Did yours not actually have bridge mode, despite the description?

Yup, I looked through and it wasn't there before i opened it up.

Well, it arrived today. The performance is a bit better with the antennas set to External than to Internal, though Auto seems to leave them on Internal.
However, placement makes more difference to the download speed than it does to the displayed signal level.
As you predicted, it did not have Bridge Mode in the Security menu. It was shipped with firmware 11.232...
I looked at the stuff about taking the device apart, and that didn't seem desirable, so I wondered if it was really necessary: it seems not.
All I did was to go to the Local Update menu item, and select the .bin file that came in the zip.
After a surprisingly long time, it came back in Polish, but with firmware 11.182.... I switched the language back to English and all my other settings seem to have been retained (I haven't done a system reset yet).
The Bridge Mode is there on the list of options.
I wonder if an update to the newer firmware will remove the Bridge Mode again? The auto update says it has the latest firmware, so perhaps it is a different fork.

I'm thinking I might have to cancel as well. We are getting very poor download speeds with the B311. Using Three's "check coverage" page, and selecting "Three B311" as the device, it says:

"Unfortunately, your device is not compatible.

With a compatible device, you would have access to our 4G network. However, the signal strength may vary, especially when you're indoors.
B311 is not compatible with our 4G network. Browse our 4G devices"

But it was sold as suitable for 4G HomeFi. What is going on?

That's probably a mistake on their part. Its definitely compatible with their 4g network. 800 and 1800mhz. You're just unlucky to live in a place with poor Three signal. Unless there are some underlying issues on their end. Or you need to try different places around your home to see if it improves things.

When i first got my b311 through the post, i placed it on a unit (3ft tall) and got 5mbps. It worried me at first, but put it on another unit at the corner of the room (7ft tall) and it jumped to 80mbps, sometimes 100mbps on a good day.

It appears there is a problem. Three have told me to set the B311 to "3G only" pending an update which should be available within a week. Despite having a good 4G signal here, we are getting faster download speed with 3G than we were with 4G.

Hmm. Sounds like an odd issue. Hope things get sorted for you though!

Mine is a B311. No problem! It shows two different colours for the signal. IIRC the 3G is green. The 4G one I get is a sort of turquoise.
