Huawei B529 Room antenna for an apartment in a block of flats.

Question

Hi, I purchased a Huawei B529 router from T-mobile.

The router is located in Wilanów (Warsaw), unfortunately, because of the thick walls in the block, I have at most 3 lines. I tested different bands and LTE is the same on all of them. Is it possible to amplify the signal, preferably a room antenna?

Which street? Http://www.mediafire.com/file/1yz26m6u8gfl16n/E5186_Toolbox_latest_v0.9.zip should work with B529. After logging in, you can force LTE and LTE-A bands on the B529, it shows signal parameters and BTS data. in this area, T-Mobile uses its own LTE2600, LTE800 and LTE180NetWorks. Additionally, it aggregates LTE2600 + 1800, LTE2600 + 800 and LTE1800 + 800. You check all bands and aggregations. You do speed tests on each. You are showing screenshots from Toolbox.

By transferring the signal outside, you will gain about 10dB of signal depending on the frequency. Walls and windows suppress the signal. After all, you will not install a proven directional antenna at home and what traders offer as home is electro-waste, often suppressing the signal.

If LTE2600 and LTE2600 + 1800 aggregation from Lenz work best, the optimal antenna is cable maximum 10m and TS9 to B529 connectors. The antenna has a mounting bracket as shown in the picture.

This application what you entered crashes wrong session token. But I checked all LTE bands on the android application you gave in another post. Currently, I have about 25Mb on all of them, but when I checked around 19:00 it was already 10Mb, for example, with the fact that I always have 3 lines only after switching to 3G I have all of them.

Show screenshots from the APK on the phone in these LTE bands, show BTS signal and CID parameters. Have you also checked these band aggregations?

I have the best transfers for the car and I have a constant range on LTE_2600.

How would you recommend something to live? It does not even have to give higher transfers, it is important that the internet is more stable. Please advise something.

You will gain nothing by using the antenna inside the apartment. These inventions sold by traders on Allegro are silencers, not antennas. Inside the apartment you have good LTE800 signal parameters, not bad on LTE1800 and quite poor on LTE2600. You connect to BTS NetWorks at Lenza 35/37, all LTE bands and their aggregation work on it.
