Hello Sieghard Thanks, I downloaded SpeedTest on my iPhone. It is interesting that the app gives the result in mega bits. I am used to kilo bytes and mega bytes. My result shows download speed = 12.3 mega bits which, if I am not mistaken, is 1.53 mega bytes per second. In foreign countries this might be slow but here in SA a speed of 900 kbps or more is quite fast over a cell network. I use Internet Download Manager to download large files and it seldom shows more than 900 KBPS, so this result of 1.53 MBPS is quite fast here. Or am I wrong with my calculation? Regards Fanus

Hi Fanus, You should take this up with your provider. Also I would recommend you do a Speedtest, either go to www.speedtest.net on your PC or, on your iPad Mini or iPhone download the Speedtest by Ookla app. My Mom's WiFi is also from a smarthub via the cellular network and she has no problems downloading anything. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Fanus Buys Sent: Wednesday, February 5, 2020 4:11 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: iPad mini 5 won't load apps problem solved but .... Hello list I managed to get a lift back to the iStore and guess what, the moment the assistant connected my Ipad mini 5 to their wifi all the native apps downloaded and installed. Now remember, with my wifi I could download third party apps like Audible, Kindle etc. and on my pc I can serve the net, download stuff and read new emails. So the funny thing: what setting or hardware aspect of my cellular wifi router prevents the native apps on the iPad to download and install. The guy at the iStore had no idea. Can one of the experts on the list think of a reason. I would like to know so that I can change my wifi settings or at least advise future users just to try a different network. I did insert the sim card into another router so the network provider is the same but the problem stayed. Well, at least my trip to the iStore was worth while so that I can now use my Ipad mini 5. Regards and thanks for all the suggestions and assistance offered. Fanus -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
