As an LTE signal on the window sill OK, there is a place to put a router there. Signal the home from the router, distribute cables and WIFI.

Thanks for the advice but if I could put it on the window sill, I would not ask for help in finding the right dish.

Dashboards mean nothing. Download on the phone and show the screen with the selected band and aggregation. Surrounded by a lot of BTS. Why can not the router stand by the window?

xgabrys · Answer

He can not stand on the windowsill, but stands 1 m from the window. Unfortunately, for aesthetic and practical reasons, I can not put it on the windowsill. Screenshots in attachments. Do I have to check something further?

And what are the speeds on each of the LTE bands from BTS Staszic 38 / do also test LTE2600 + 1800, LTE2600 + 800 and LTE1800 + 800. on LTE800, the correct signal, LTE1800 sufficient and poor on LTE2600.

xgabrys · Answer

Oh! That's what you meant?

matek451 · Answer

The signal parameters on each band are already known for aggregation too. It's about speed on these bands and aggregations, make speed tests.

xgabrys · Answer

Should I use a specific program for this? Is it enough to use a plain playstore speed test? Additionally, do I have to set a specific band before execution? If so, how can I do it ??

And do I need to set something in the MHuawei application before? If so, let me know what and in what order

makosuu · Answer

You set the band and fire speedtest and repeat for each band, the results you put on the forum. The speedtest.net mobile application is very convenient.

sebapulawy · Answer

you choose individual frequencies and you do speedttest - you save the result and further next frequencies and speedtest ... and just like you will pass all the combinations you have in the app

xgabrys · Answer

Results in the order that the screen below 800 1800 2600 2600 + 1800 2600 + 800 1800 + 800

makosuu · Answer

800 range clogged but this is the norm, I see potential in 2600 + 1800 if amplified by a suitable antenna. In general, for 1800 and 2600, the results are good, especially at 2600, despite such a poor signal.

xgabrys · Answer

And here we come to the question from the first post what antenna will be the best for me?

makosuu · Answer

Recently, they praised the ATK-504 broadband forum and I think that it would work for you However, it costs yours. Up to 1,800 + 2,600 should also check Cybertech, it is slightly cheaper but at 800 it will not work.

xgabrys · Answer

So nothing cheaper is better to mount ??

I still have a question about the installation of such an antenna.
I live on the 2nd floor of a block of flats and on the way to the transmitter stands a block of 4 storeys. Will I have to mount the antenna in a specific direction? You can somehow mount it to the wall / window sill ??
