Mobile data disconnecting during tethering

Lunatic59 very well explained. My phone has overheating issues and it does fry up during tethering. I havent paid attention to it....but if thats the case, why doesnt my jio sim disconnect when downloading? The only difference is that the download Speed in airtel sim is max 700kbps and ij jio max 150kbps...please explain to me

I know bit-torrent can cause problems for certain routers, and I've actually seen that myself with a particular TP-Link router. Because the bit-torrent protocol may open a lot of ports, and that can cause some consumer grade routers to crash. The fix for that was a firmware update on the TP-Link router.

A phone in tethering mode is actually operating as a router, and maybe torrents are causing it problems?

Hello there. I have a moto g6 play and use airtel 4g network. The network works fine when i use it in phone, .....

Svim ive been having problems with my mobile data and wifi since i got my new airtel sim.. .....

Given the contradictions that may or may not be an issue, it might be time to just take your phone in to a service shop and just have it checked out.

Wait wait... If the coverage is bad then how come other airtel sims are workin fine in my house amd this one isnt... And speaking of account provisions the customer care expert told that everything is well and good from their end.. Dammit, cant find out what is the problem.
Different phone with the same SIM and carrier? It's the carrier that must not have your account provisioned correctly, or the coverage in your area is just that bad. :(
