My 2 cents.
LTE/4G network has a latency and packet drops. You might not get smooth exam experience. Mouse lagging or trailing letters like 'wwwwwork' . I faced this when I used mobile network.

I appreciate your 2 cents @Sarang! I'll keep this in mind. If I can't find a workaround I may have to deal with it.

Probably you can use LTE router with cable.

isp<-->lte-<-->router<-->cable--<pc/notebook.

You can try TP-Link MR400 AC1200 Wireless Dual Band 4G LTE Router, or like as it.

Good luck.

I already have a router connected to my home network which is slow. The LTE network is through my cell phone which I will have to use as a hotspot so I'm not sure purchasing another router will help in this case.

Router is not standart router. Router is a LTE router.

Using cell phone is not good solution for mission critical.

However LTE router can be use for exam.

I understand it's not a standard router but aside from my phone, I do not have an LTE network to connect an LTE router to. My ISP offers DSL, so the only thing I would be able to connect an LTE router to would be my cell phone which actually has the LTE service on it. And if I have to connect my cell phone to an LTE router, I might as well use a cable to connect my cell phone directly to my laptop.

Please correct me if I am misunderstanding your suggestion.

There is a misunderstanding. You can insert a sim card into the router and use it. Could you look at manual

lte router should be stay in an open area (windows site,balcony or outside). DSL connection is a more stable method.

Ah, I understand now. I'll have to look that option as well. Thank you for the suggestion.

error.jpg

I had exam on Sept 24th, 10 PM IST.
I was not able to login to the exam at that time. 
I was ablt to boot the laptop using USB but login prompt did not come.
I tried with couple of laptops, 3 LAN cables and 2 USB sticks. I even tried with backup connection. None of them worked. Attaching the error in screenshot.
Next day, when I tried with same setup it worked and gave me login prompt. 
I have used same setup for exams before and it had worked. 
I have raised a ticket with them on the same day but  have not received any reply. 

I no longer see the exam in schedular. Will I get my attempt back?
What else can I do? Do not want to miss on attemt for no fault of my own.

I expected that RedHat exam team will atleast call me when i did not login at exam time. may be I could have told them my issue but disaapoinment on that front :(

Hi @Sarang ,

Unfortunately, there was an unexpected outage during your exam slot which caused that error. I believe the proctors/support reached out to the candidates to explain the problem but I'll apologize if you did not receive any message. I have let the team know and you should expect a response on your ticket soon.

Regards,
