Choosing the Right Antenna for ZTE 283+ on LTE 800 MHz: Factors, Options & Improved Performance

Hello. After orange gave up the CDMA 450 MHz frequency, I was practically cut off from the Internet, of course, I was offered to switch to 3G and LTE, the problem is that the signal does not reach at higher frequencies, of course it catches HSPA + but leaves much to be desired, online games fall off because ping jumps like so crazy on my ZTE 283+ I forced LTE and I caught one dash, signal strength -89 dBm ping stabilized at this point ping 33ms 6.50 download 0.43 upload the day ping similar download lower upload also similar I already bought one external antenna cybertech dual antenna -lte-4g-to-zte-mf28d-mf283-15dbi-although it did not help because I made a mistake and it does not catch lte 1800MHz, so I would like to ask you for help in choosing the antenna for 800 MHz lte and if it will improve anything at all. I have 3.75 km for the transmitter, including 700m of forest, data from geoportal.gov.pl
Best regards.

Provide the location, install http://3wg3-watch.port0.org/3wg3-watch-v3.zip on your computer and show the screen from it. The program shows BTS's CID, band and LTE signal parameters. The choice of antenna depends on it.

my location is brzeziny, 28-225 awl bts orange

Signal parameters practically excluding the correct operation of LTE. Connection with BTS LTE800 Orange in Bosowice. several kilometers away. It is not known whether LTE800 Orange works in Szydłów, you need to check under it. You can use LTE phone with Network Cell Info application. Another one is in Gnojno. If you had the MF286, you would have done it, it's a LTE-A stationary router with a battery. Worth twice as much as the MF283 + and you should take it from Orange in the LTE Internet subscription for home 59.90. Check this BTS Szydów, the choice of antenna depends on it.

I called orange, they say that they have active 800 MHz lte, tomorrow it will jump to the antenna and I will check this program personally, but I can not find the option to force 800 MHz in it. Well, I wanted this MF286, I waited a month for it and they didn't have it in stock, so I was forced to choose the MF283 +. Tomorrow, when I check, I will contact you, but I don't know whether to insert screenshots for you or do you want any specific data?

You do not have to force the LTE800 band, possibly only LTE800 works in Szydłów, the license for LTE1800 under NetWorks and LTE2600 does not work. Show the screenshot from under this BTS.

Indeed, in Szydłów, as you said, only 800 MHz works, I throw you the screens you asked for






and here with the map, although I do not know why, but I was under almost the transmitter and I wrote that the transmitter cannot be found, maybe they do not have it there yet in the database of this program, I have no idea

The map at NCI shows crap. ECI points to LTE800 Orange from Szydłów. For BTS about 3km, you need 2xATK-10 / 800-980 http://www.dipol.com.pl/antena_gsm_10-element..._800-980_mhz_10_m_przewodu_wtyk_sma_A7017.htm

Ok, so I will send back the one I have and I will order the one recommended by you, I understand that I have to order two pieces, but it will be better with a 5m cable, which is enough for me, and probably there will be less losses on the cable, won't it make a big difference?

Yes, 2 pieces and 5m cable. One in vertical polarization, the other in horizontal.

Only that everywhere these antennas are in vertical (V) polarization, nowhere can I find in the horizontal (H) I am sorry that I am complaining but I am completely green from this topic and this will be my third antenna, two of which I had to return because they were not suitable so hence my oversensitivity on this subject

You set one ATK-10 with elements vertically and the other horizontally, the handles allow for such assembly.

aha, thank you for explaining, as soon as I install it, I will contact you first

Hello again, I would like to thank you, antennas mounted, internet speed increased download from 6 to 14 at this point and upload from 0.40 to 2.40 I will attach you a screen from this diagnostic program

antenna aimed at the transmitter in Szydłów, but cell id remains unchanged How can I indicate that you helped me in this topic?

Man really knows his stuff.
Thank you.
Best regards.
