    Hello
    I would like to ask if anyone has the specifications of this system from Play? I mean mainly if it supports aggregations.

    Supports, aggregates 1 LTE FDD band and LTE TDD bands to it. In our conditions only Plus uses TDD LTE2600 on few BTSs. Play has a TDD LTE 3700 license but the network is planned. Currently, it works as LTE 4 cat without band aggregation.

    Can you use the antenna from this netbox on another router? For example in B618, B715, B525?

    No, the external LTE access point only works with the router in the set. Antennas with SMA connectors are used for B618, B525 or B715. What is your problem with LTE signal?

    Ok thanks for the info. I have no problem, I was just thinking about a router that supports band aggregation (on the netbox I have a speed of 30Mb / s, at night 50Mb / s), but if I still had to buy antennas, it won't pay off and I won't have such a big difference. in the countryside.

    You might be surprised, it all depends on what LTE bands are on the BTS (whether it is LTE2600) and how busy it is. As a standard, I have 120-150Mb / s during the day over 200Mb / s. of course, BTS not overloaded, signal parameters correct and aggregation LTE2600 + 2100 + 1800. B2338-168 is not my story, nor is his successor B2368-66.

    Welcome,
    Well, I have this miracle or Huawei B2338-168. I do not complain about the antenna, but the router added to the set is basically scrap ... The wifi range in the house is poor, and there are no two walls behind it. I have a Tp-link Archer C2300 Router and I would like to connect it to the antenna (modem) mentioned earlier. I've been trying for a few hours in total and nothing ... Have you tried to connect another router to this modem? Someone can tell you how to configure it?
    Regards,

    The ODU in this set, i.e. the LTE external access point built into the antenna, works only with the IDU from the set, i.e. the Huawei router. You improve the WiFi range at home with an additional AP set on the Archer, a LAN-LAN connection to the Huawei router.

    Thanks for the answer.
    That's exactly how I did it. It looks strange but it works. I also turned off wifi on Huawei to not add another network.
    It is a pity that it cannot be connected directly.

    Regards!

    It is possible that you can connect directly. You need to supply ODU with something - you will need a PoE injector. If ODU issues any human interface for configuration, it is possible to set up a connection to the cellular network, and then a standard connection to the TPLink's WAN Ethernet port and driving.

    You interested me a lot.

    I would like to get rid of this unnecessary system element - the huawei router.

    On the h ** awei router is just the PoE input (I connected it with RJ45 from the antenna). Later, I tried to combine with PoEEE (this is not the same thing) - but it didn't work in any way.
    Can you write something more? Somehow explain? I'm not completely green in the subject but I haven't heard of the PoE injector. From what I see they are not expensive.
    Can you check the 'human' modem ODU interface (i.e. antennas) before investment?

    Regards!

    PoEEE is completely different from PoE [power over ethernet]

    And back to the topic.
    It's not possible. Unless someone hacks these systems [I have 2368]. The connection between IDU-ODU is encrypted with a key.
    In the Italian forum, a guy tried to do it [use a different router] and if he was able to power the ODU with the injector, he was unable to communicate with the ODU.
    They are blocked to the maximum, ports, services etc.

Topic summary

The Huawei B2338-168 Net Box supports aggregation of one LTE FDD band and LTE TDD bands, specifically utilizing TDD LTE2600 in certain areas. However, it currently operates as LTE 4 cat without band aggregation. Users have reported mixed experiences with the device, particularly regarding the performance of the included router, which has been described as having poor WiFi range. The external LTE access point is designed to work exclusively with the Huawei router, limiting compatibility with other routers like B618, B715, or B525. Some users have explored connecting additional routers to improve WiFi coverage, but the connection between the internal and external units is encrypted, complicating direct integration with third-party devices. Overall, while the B2338-168 can provide decent speeds under optimal conditions, its limitations in aggregation and router performance have led users to consider alternative setups.
