    There is not too much choice - Huawei B715.

    And if the budget unlimited then maybe Huawei E5788?

    it is to be a stationary router

    and
    Huawei B618 B618s-22d?
    is better at present?

    B618 is a better choice, B715 is a popular modem-router because of the "poor offer" DIL in RBM (aggregates LTE2100MHz band, which in the case of Play in many locations increases this network usability).

    that is, the router that can aggregate more than 2 frequencies is B715? I need a router that can connect the antenna and has a lan port

    On the B715 it does not aggregate LTE2600 + 2100 +1800 and LTE2600 + 2100 + 800, with aggregates LTE2600 + 1800 + 800 and LTE2100 + 1800 + 800, two LTE networks aggregates in all combinations. In Play, you have access to all 4 bands and in Orange up to 3 LTE bands? B618 does not aggregate LTE2600 + 2100, it has 4 internal antennas for MIMO4x4 but only two connectors for external antennas.

    If the modem-router is to work only with the Play network, it can be B715, if it is to be used with W3 offers it is definitely B618 (once LTE2100MHz works mainly on P4 transmitters, W3 is a rarity, but most of all B715 does not support QAM 256 modulation, which all operators will gradually implement and which increases data transfer by 33%) http://www.komputerswiat.pl/artykuly/partners.../11/internet-lte-przyspiesza-do-500-mb-s.aspx

    Modulation modulation ... and a clogged transmitter is still a problem ...
    B618 aggregates 2 frequencies and B517 3?
    is there a router that aggregates at least 3 supports 256-QAM mods and 4x4?
    I have 618 but I need 2 router
    I have an orange and an antennae call I have such an RSRQ signal: -11dB
    RSRP: -89dBm
    SINR: 2dB
    of course the router works with aggregation ...
    on the same mast is also play which has all frequencies.
    That's why I am so careful because in my area there are only a few and one radio operator that offers 10/2 transfer ...
    orange also walks 16/8 in the morning and in the evening 50/15 ...

    Added after 3 [hours] 36 [minutes]:

    Netgear Nighthawk M1 does this meet the above requirements?

    No, because exchanged as 4CA Netgear Nighthawk M1 does NOT support LTE800 and the specification does not have 4CA at all:

    And little is known about the Huawei B818: https://www.4gltemall.com/huawei-b818-lte-cat19-gigabit-cpe.html

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers around finding the best LTE router that supports 3-band aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, and at least a Cat 9 modem, with no budget constraints. Recommendations include the Huawei B715 and B618, with the B618 being favored for its better performance in stationary setups. The B715 is noted for its ability to aggregate multiple LTE bands, particularly in specific networks like Play and Orange. The Netgear Nighthawk M1 is mentioned but deemed unsuitable due to its lack of support for LTE800 and 4CA. The Huawei E5788 is also suggested for those needing a router with 4CA capabilities. The discussion highlights the importance of modulation support, specifically 256-QAM, for improved data transfer rates.

FAQ

TL;DR: For Play-only, B715 is fine; for Orange/W3, pick B618. "B715 does not support QAM 256 modulation," and 256‑QAM boosts throughput by 33%. If you need 3‑band aggregation, check your carrier’s bands first. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17112862]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps power users choose a stationary LTE router for 3CA, 4x4 MIMO, and future 256‑QAM gains.

Quick Facts

What’s the best LTE router for Play vs Orange if I want 3CA?

If you use only Play, choose Huawei B715. For Orange or other W3 networks, pick Huawei B618. B715 lacks 256‑QAM, which increases peak throughput by 33%. Operators will gradually enable 256‑QAM, so plan accordingly. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17112862]

Which 3CA combinations does Huawei B715 support?

B715 supports 3CA for 2600+1800+800 and 2100+1800+800. It does not support 2600+2100+1800 or 2600+2100+800. Verify your site’s active bands before buying. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17111535]

Does Huawei B715 support 256‑QAM, and does it matter?

No, B715 does not support 256‑QAM. 256‑QAM raises peak data rates by 33% when enabled by the network. Operators will gradually introduce it, so it can affect long‑term speeds. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17112862]

Can I use external antennas and keep 4x4 MIMO on B618?

B618 uses four internal antennas for 4x4 MIMO but exposes only two external connectors. You cannot attach four external antennas for full external 4x4. That hardware limit surprises many buyers. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17111535]

Does Netgear Nighthawk M1 (MR1100) meet the 3CA+256‑QAM+4x4 requirement?

No. It lacks LTE800 support, and its published specification does not list 4CA. If you need LTE800 or 3+ band aggregation, skip it. [Elektroda, internick, post #17115827]

Is there any stationary router with 3CA, 256‑QAM, and 4x4 MIMO?

At that time, no clear stationary option fit all three. M1 fails LTE800/4CA, and “little is known about the Huawei B818.” Consider alternatives only if requirements can flex. [Elektroda, internick, post #17115827]

Is Huawei E5788 a good 4CA option if my budget isn’t limited?

Yes. Huawei E5788 is a 4CA mobile hotspot recommended when you specifically need 4CA. Note it’s mobile, not a desktop CPE. [Elektroda, Estyle, post #17217939]

Why do many Play users still pick Huawei B715?

“B715 … aggregates LTE2100MHz band, which in the case of Play in many locations increases this network usability.” That’s why it remains popular. Check your local 2100 MHz availability. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #17109347]

Which LTE bands do Play and Orange expose, and how does that affect choice?

Play offers four LTE bands, while Orange offers up to three. Match that with B715’s supported 3CA sets (2600+1800+800 or 2100+1800+800). Otherwise, consider B618’s strengths with your operator. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17111535]

Does Huawei B715 aggregate more than two bands?

Yes. B715 supports 3CA, but only specific sets: 2600+1800+800 or 2100+1800+800. It does not support 2600+2100+1800 or 2600+2100+800. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17111535]

Should I wait for Huawei B818 instead?

Details were limited then. The discussion noted little confirmed information about B818’s capabilities. Waiting carried uncertainty. [Elektroda, internick, post #17115827]
