And who in their right mind buys MiFi for PLN 500 how can you have such a toy 4 times cheaper? Another thing is what is the city, street? If there are LTE Play BTSs nearby, all you have to do is buy a directional antenna for the selected band and use LTE. Play uses LTE2600, LTE1800, LTE2100 and LTE800 in cities. Just locate the BTSs that have LTE bands on them, check the signal parameters at home, outside and under the BTSs. For this speed test. The antenna allows you to force a connection with specific as long as they are in different directions. And no reasonable person pays at Play PLN 45 / month to have 100GB as the same and even much more you can have on LTE Play for PLN 5 / month and also without a contract. Just take some time and read my posts on the subject, which are plenty. And as for the MiFi it is not recommended as a home router but as a last resort it can also be used to be mobile. Of course, you choose one that works with LTEwatchH or Huawei Toolbox. They show the LTE signal parameters, BTS data but the most important in them can be forced specific LTE bands. In the case of Play it can be important and very useful. For PLN 300-500 you can buy a MiFi router with LTE-A.

Thanks for the answers. Something I feel that you will help me with your knowledge and advice.
Networks are not my field, I got these types from the person who is supposed to deal with it, so I asked on forums.
Which of these or maybe you have some suggestion - I will be grateful

I would not like to go into the subject of antennas, probably if I had been here longer, yes, but in this case rather not.
A good mobile should give advice, I would like to take it with me when I go out to polybuda

You probably meant this thread - probably a good option - I will read

In the given location, PLay has the nearest BTS at A. Krajowa40, Falista 172 and Sandomierska 1/9. and Obywatelsjiej 137. About 1 km from you. On them, licenses for LTE2600, LTE1800, LTE2100 and LTE800. The fastest bandwidth but with the smallest range is LTE2600 where Play has 20MHz in MIMO and DL up to 150Mbps. On LTE1800 10MHz in MIMO and DL up to 75Mbps, greater range and this is the basic band /. On LTE2100 and LTE800 5Mhz bandwidth in MIMO and DL up to 37.5Mbps. It is the operator as the only aggregating all LTE bands. It is worth doing an external test on this card what you have and the phone with LTE S4 and the installed Network Cell Info application LTE signal parameters as well as BTS data and speed. The closest one is A. Krajowa and you probably use it. Test also in its vicinity from your side. It will let you check how LTE works with it with a valid signal and whether BTS is overloaded. You can also use the service code * # 0011 # on Samsung. Shows available LTE bands on Play. As for the MiFi router, the cheapest option is E5573 or something from stock -pab-i6689414535.html Perfect for the student's pocket. Works with LTEwatchH and Toolbox, they come from Plus, without simlock. If the budget is higher then a MiFi router with LTE-A band aggregation, e.g. Aggregates two LTE bands, i.e. LTE2600 + LTE1800 or LTE1800 + LTE800. Both have external TS9 antenna connectors. There are 5 Play BTSs with a set of LTE bands around PŁ. E5577 (airbox2 Plus) comes into play, but not for this price. It is the same as E5573 only with the display e.g. Basically they do not have a simlock but there are problems with the operation of LTEWatchH and FW Orange. Greetings to my colleague, the faculty, I graduated from PŁ alone over 25 years ago. As you can see, you don't have to spend PLN 500 on a MiFi router with LTE, and by the way DWR-921 is a stationary router with LTE. There is still a lot of learning for this person.

you can see that the Network is your mega interest, but also a desire to advise.
It is rare to meet a person who writes so much in the subject
Thank you very much

I am not trained in this field either, I didn't do it, my "pony" is something else.
I am also of the opinion that it would be better if everybody had their own, and if necessary exchange information, than each of everything, although the basics are well known.

To the topic
You stopped me a bit with other suggestions (which I asked myself when writing for suggestions), and I needed a router right away.

I only consider network offers (euro, mediaexpert, neo, xkom, etc.), why not other auctions?

The place of use is clearly 'strange', so I want to first hypothetically choose the most suitable, buy and test, always if something did not play, it is possible to return / exchange for another.

I also did tests on: LG Nexus 5, Note tablet, media tech router - none grabs LTE.
In the case of LG G5 is ok, there was 1 line, in the second room 2.

In any other case I would consider second-hand options, but here I would like to test as I mentioned.
In this case, I already have the amount, if you can buy some good and cheaper is great, and if not, then the matter is included in the so-called costs of learning heh.

when it comes to cheaper it is something like that

https://www.neonet.pl/huawei-router-przenosny...-150mb-s4g-lte-2-4ghz-bialy.html#specyfikacja

It was my type from the beginning
http://www.euro.com.pl/routery-gsm-3g/tp-link-m7350.bhtml
but after your messages, I looked through the offers again.
I opened the websites of the chain stores, filtered and I have a confusion. I don't know much what to choose.
You help with helpful advice, you can see you are up to date - you know less what it needs and what cost - please send if you can two models. I would be very grateful.

You can do tests on a phone with LTE, maybe S4, LG G5 etc. These are much better testing tools than the MiFi mobile router. Samsung S4 should show after the service code # * 0011 # LTE bands and signal parameters. Both have the Network Cell Info application showing the LTE signal parameters and BTS data. And G5 also works in LTE-A. Tests as described, under BTS near and outside of you. Purchase of E5573 for supplement tests for PLN 300 without a purpose. After testing, it is better to take these from operators such as Plus from Allegro, the cost of PLN 100 is no risk. As I wrote for 300 PLN, you can have E5785 with LTE-A and it is a completely different class than E5573. Personally, I don't see the point of buying E5573 for PLN 280 just because you can return it after the tests. Tests must be done in accordance with the principles of art, signal parameters not in lines Without testing, it is not worth taking any steps with purchase, operator selection.
