Hello Yesterday I purchased the huawei b525 modem for the Play card and after the tests I get the best speeds with the 1800 + 2600 aggregation, i.e. around 50 Mbps. I do not know if it makes sense to invest in an external antenna. My location is Dąbrówka Warszawska near Radom

Insert screen from LTEWatch or Huawei Manager.

Added after 11 [minutes]: There are some aggregation breaks and such unstable ones

A session of 12 hours is conscious switching on / off of the equipment? Is unplanned disconnection? Is this measurement with the router outside, i.e. window sill, balcony, etc.? What distance separates you from the chimney of the heat and power plant at Żelazna? And do you see him well? Because with the station located there you connect (last screen).

Modem in the window and speedtest from yesterday and screen from hmenagera from today. I do not see Bts from iron quite a large section. There is Bts in the village of Wierzbica this is closer and to this bts in Wierzbica goes radiolini with iron according to uke

Connection to LTE2600 as a basic band from the heat plant chimney at Żelazna, during aggregation probably with LTE1800. LTE + aggregation is shown only when the connection is active. Speeds good for such poor signal parameters, UL from here so low. You need an external antenna working in the 1800-2600MHz band. You set up for Zelazna, Wierzbica and Krogulcza Sucha one by one, enforce LTE2600, LTE1800 and LTE2100 bands and LTE2600 + 1800 aggregation using HManager and choose BTS and bandwidth to give the best speed. in Play, the optimal offer is an RBM card for the 5 card from the RWK and the Free Internet LTE service with no limit on it. The cost of 5-15 PLN per month.

I am surprised that the iron belt stretches 2600 because it is almost 10 kilometers and not from the willow, where it is about 5 kilometers to me. I think that antenna 1800-2600 will be enough. Do you recommend any? As for the service, I have an additional internet card in a package with 4 sims for phones, so I want to use it for this purpose. Thank you very much for your help.

Does a colleague mothers confirm this antenna ATK504 because I thought about such

If you find a test somewhere, I will be happy to read it. Unless you want to buy, test, give away within 14 days. I rely on this:

This comparison is not reliable. The antenna from cybertech works in the 1800 range and the guest tests it at 800 and 2600. The second case is there are 2 pieces atk 504.

Two pieces, because one is responsible for horizontal polarization and the other is vertical. It's MiMo, so you have to buy two ATK antennas.
Cybertech closes both polarities in one housing.
You question the test, so buy the antenna you are linking to and test it. What's the problem?
WiFi is available for you at Access Point later. Certainly it would be better to put the router under the roof and use five meters of cable than ten.

I'll do tests and I'll just add that in the cybertech antenna they give the H155 cable to the LMR240. Would it be better, for example, H1000 to 2600?

I would subclass the table, but it's no name, so it does not make sense to put in Belden or Times Microwave documents.
A colleague in one of the threads proved that on the wire for 14 PLN / meter on 2600 MHz he gained 1 dB compared to H155.

Update after purchase and installation of the antenna.
Antenna from cybertech 1800-2600 + 10 meters of H155 cable
Speed test after wi-fi around 15.00 and tests on the cable give results from 90 Mbps to 120 Mbps even in the evening.
I will add that bts is about 10 km away. I also honestly recommend the antenna and the huawei B525 router.

Users suggest that an external antenna could enhance performance, particularly in the 1800-2600 MHz range. Recommendations include the ATK504 antenna and a dual-band antenna from Cybertech. Users discuss the importance of antenna placement and cable quality, with tests showing significant speed improvements after installing the recommended antenna. The conversation highlights the need for proper setup to maximize signal strength and speed.
Generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: For Huawei B525 in Dąbrówka Warszawska/Radom, expect 5–15 PLN/month and "You need an external antenna working in the 1800–2600MHz band." Lock bands in HManager, aim at Żelazna/Wierzbica/Krogulcza Sucha, and test. LTE+ shows only during active traffic. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps Play users near Radom pick the right antenna, bands, and placement to stabilise carrier aggregation and boost speeds.

Quick Facts

Use an external MIMO antenna for 1800–2600 MHz; force LTE2600/1800 in HManager; LTE+ appears only on active data. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]
Cybertech 1800–2600 MIMO + 10 m H155 delivered ~90–120 Mbps from a BTS ~10 km away. [Elektroda, jawal1980, post #17316752]
Indoors on B525, 1800+2600 aggregation reached about 50 Mbps without an external antenna. [Elektroda, jawal1980, post #17179848]
Prefer ≤5 m coax with the router near the roof; add an access point for whole‑home Wi‑Fi. [Elektroda, internick, post #17181877]
Play RBM Free LTE Internet plan typically costs around 5–15 PLN monthly. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]

What’s the best antenna setup for Huawei B525 to aggregate 1800+2600 near Radom?

Use an external MIMO antenna covering 1800–2600 MHz. Aim at Żelazna, Wierzbica, and Krogulcza Sucha and test each. Force LTE2600 and LTE1800 with HManager, then check CA performance. Pick the BTS and band combo with the best speed. “You need an external antenna working in the 1800–2600MHz band.” [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]

Which antenna model did forum experts recommend?

ATK-504 from Telkob was recommended for this use case. It’s a known option for 1800–2600 MHz deployments. [Elektroda, internick, post #17180447]

Did the Cybertech 1800–2600 dual MIMO antenna work well in Dąbrówka Warszawska?

Yes. After installing the Cybertech 1800–2600 MIMO antenna with 10 m H155, the user saw about 90–120 Mbps, even evenings. The serving BTS was about 10 km away. They recommended both the antenna and Huawei B525. [Elektroda, jawal1980, post #17316752]

How do I aim and lock bands on a B525 for the Radom area?

Use HManager to lock LTE2600 and LTE1800 separately. 1. Lock a band. 2. Aim at Żelazna, Wierzbica, then Krogulcza Sucha. 3. Speed test and note UL/DL, then repeat for the other band. Choose the best result and enable CA. LTE+ shows only during active data. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]

What speeds can I expect without an external antenna on B525?

Around 50 Mbps on 1800+2600 aggregation was reported indoors. Results vary by signal and load. [Elektroda, jawal1980, post #17179848]

What speeds are possible after adding a proper antenna and cable?

With a Cybertech 1800–2600 MIMO antenna and 10 m H155, speeds reached about 90–120 Mbps. This held even during evening hours. [Elektroda, jawal1980, post #17316752]

Is LTE2600 viable at roughly 10 km in Dąbrówka Warszawska/Radom?

Yes. A user achieved stable performance from a BTS about 10 km away using an 1800–2600 MIMO antenna. Location and aiming still matter. [Elektroda, jawal1980, post #17316752]

Should I run a long Ethernet or a long coax from the antenna?

Use a shorter coax run. Place the router under the roof and keep coax near 5 m. Extend coverage later with a Wi‑Fi access point. Longer coax (e.g., 10 m) adds loss. [Elektroda, internick, post #17181877]

Do I need two antennas for MIMO, or is one unit enough?

MIMO uses two polarizations. Two separate ATK units cover horizontal and vertical. Cybertech integrates both polarizations in one housing, simplifying installation. [Elektroda, internick, post #17181877]

Which coax cable should I pick: H155, LMR240, or H1000?

Cable quality and length drive loss. One user measured about a 1 dB gain at 2600 MHz versus H155 using a ~14 PLN/m cable. Expect modest improvements; prioritize short runs. [Elektroda, internick, post #17181929]

Why is my upload speed low on B525?

Weak signal quality limits upload. The forum noted low UL with poor parameters. Improve antenna placement and alignment to raise UL. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]

Why does the LTE+ icon disappear or CA feel unstable?

LTE+ shows only while data is actively flowing. Lock bands with HManager and add a proper 1800–2600 antenna to stabilize throughput. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]

What Play plan suits heavy LTE use here?

Use an RBM card with RWK and Free Internet LTE. The typical monthly cost is about 5–15 PLN. [Elektroda, matek451, post #17180285]

Can I connect without line-of-sight to the Żelazna chimney BTS?

Yes. A user connected with the modem at a window despite no visual on Żelazna. They noted a closer Wierzbica BTS linked by radioline to Żelazna per UKE. [Elektroda, jawal1980, post #17180238]
