Optimal Antenna Selection for T-Mobile Huawei B525s-23 LTE Router: BTS Dependent Options

Welcome.
I know that the topic is rolled etc., but all in all depending on BTS different solutions. My colleague Matek451 I see probably has the greatest knowledge and I count a bit on his opinion. I ordered an LTE router with T-mobile wanting to switch from a weak Wi-Fi local provider to (I hope) faster LTE internet. It is true that the signal and me weak but I hope that the exposure of the antenna on the roof will give satisfactory parameters, hence my question about the best choice. The cost of PLN 200 is very acceptable. maybe something like this:

After entering the attic, the parameters improve slightly, but there is no madness.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Is this test at home or outside? Connection with BTS Borucino 3 to 2G with GSM900, poor signal parameters. Location difficult, on BTS Borucino LTE800 T-Mobile, same in Krzeszna. A powerful 800MHz antenna is needed, i.e. 2xATK-20 or 2xATK-10 / 800-980. Selection after testing on the B525 outside after extending the LTE800 band on it.

Everything ok but why screenshots from network cell info combined 2g? We need LTE. You can also do tests with the router and the Huawei Manager application, https://www.dropbox.com/s/pim97cmodwcxj4l/Huawei_Manager_1.1_EN.apk?dl=0
Force LTE only on the router.

Test made at home ... in the weakest place. I have the impression that now that there are no leaves, it is better than in summer. I am planning a mast maybe 1 m above roof level. At home, lte will definitely not catch (I never caught). Today, for a moment, I dumped the phone through a roof hatch. How much will I get on 3G? You know now I have 3MB / 1MB Wi-Fi so if it is better then I will be happy . In the attic I had a Speed test with 1.5 MB DL / 3MB UL as I caught a better signal. The fact that I can't check LTE yet because I have a Mi5S Plus phone without a village LTE 800 MHz

One more question, will the panel or directional antenna be better in my case?

After all, you already got the antenna suggestions, the YAGI-UDA directional antennas work in the 800-900MHz band. In addition to LTE800, you'll benefit from 3G on UMTS900 NetWorks from one of these BTSs. It is used by Orange customers, T-Mobile, by design it is free and you are overloaded with DL

On the tablet I caught in the LTE attic, the speed does not knock:

This is normal with such signal parameters on LTE800 from Borucin. For comparison, you can do a test near the BTS in your direction, with the correct signal parameters.

I wonder what better to direct this directional antenna. Krzeszna closer. From those you gave, the 20 elements will probably be better in my case. I would like to order them to arrive at the same time as the router (which I will probably have on Wednesday). I will see the terrain on the geoportal soon.

Distance is not everything, obstacles, topography and the important thing is the configuration of sectors on the base station. http://www.dipol.com.pl/antena_gsm_20-element...-850-960_mhz_10_m_przewodu_wtyk_sma_A7027.htm only this piece of antenna, 170cm, requires good mounting and even more two pieces, one in vertical polarization, the other in horizontal.

Fastening would be to the chimney, the top of the chimney is flush with the roof, I would probably go a meter higher. I checked the Altitude above sea level between me and the station in Borucin. The base of the station is at an altitude of 203 meters above sea level, the fall of the area goes towards me. The base of my house is 199 m. The antenna would probably be about 9 m higher or 208 meters above sea level. The transmitter probably a height of about 40 m. In front of me a hill, which probably covers me and some forests. The highest hill between me and the BTS in Borucin is about 205 meters above sea level and there are trees in some places (but not in these mountains)

I have more obstacles to BTS Krzeszno. The height of the base is the same as my house, i.e. 199 m. Above sea level, between us a hill which is 230 m above sea level on the line of several houses in the immediate vicinity.

Maybe this ATK 10 is enough ... the 1.7 m long at ATK 20 a bit much for a bit more profit.

Today, another tests, I went a little higher on the roof and took the measurement (on the tablet):
:
Connected to Borucino so it's certain that I will direct the antenna to this transmitter, now the question is whether ATK 10 will be enough.

You do not know if the antennas on the dipole have cables already earned or you have to earn yourself, because I do not have a SMA crimper.

You are already buying with a ready connector for the router.

Today came the router, mounted atk 10 antennas yesterday, the results are as follows:

The speed jumps a little, although it's better than I have now via WiFi. Unfortunately, the SINR factor can jump to -2, so it's not good. Maybe I will turn the antenna a bit, but if it is clear, let me know where I am directing.

Low SINR is the fault of the BTS load as seen by the speeds. The antenna is working properly.

Try to set the antenna to Krzeszna, maybe BTS less loaded.

Today I changed the antenna direction. Unfortunately, he doesn't log in to Krzeszna. He logs me in to Szymbark straight away despite setting the direction for Krzeszno. So I changed the antenna even more and now I have the direction to Szymbark. The results are:

Download is not bad at peak times, upload smaller than at Borucino. However, I care more about DL. I will see in the evening how the University of Lodz will be shaped. Better signal quality at Szymbark. I leave it for now.

Now you know everything, you've become a professional.

Yes .. a professional, it's a pity that I have 0 points and you have almost 33000 . Thank you all for your help and assistance in choosing antennas (confirmation to buy specific models).

Everything is in front of you and you have managed your problem perfectly. Cooperation on the other hand is also important.
