    Why these two and not the B525?

    But what is the point of comparing the LTE Category 4 router, i.e. B315 to B529 with LTE Category 6, i.e. aggregation of 2 LTE bands? Where is it to be used and at what operator?

    BTS Kępa Tarchomińska 19A, Journal No. 14 - I live 1km from the transmitter, operator Orange. If b525 is better than b529 then I can take b525, I don't know much :P

    For such a BTS, it and B525 are too weak, on BTS it is after the divorce in NetWorks, i.e. Orange has its LTE2600 (15MHz), LTE2100 (10MHz), LTE1800 (10MHz) and LTE800 (10MHz) on it and aggregation of these bands. Anyway, there are two more such BTS NetWorks in the area where T-Mobile and Orange have so many bands. And why exactly Orange? WT-Mobile has a much better offer with equipment and the B525 is in the subscription price of PLN 49/65. The B525 has 4XLAN and SMA antenna connectors.

    "For such a BTS is this and the B525 too weak?" which modem to choose then? The problem is that I already have a contract with Orange and I got a B315 router for it, I also have a Dual LTE / 4G 15dBi MIMO antenna for the 1800-2100 band from cyber techa, but I'm still not entirely satisfied, so I thought about replacing the router. What router in this case would be the best considering the medium and high price?

    And why did you take the offer in Orange in addition to 315 / It is poor, expensive and B315 does not meet the requirements for your Orange infrastructure. As I wrote, BTS NetWorks are there after modernization, 4 LTE bands work with their aggregation. Do LTE2600, LTE2100, LTE1800 and LTE800 tests on this B315, force them on it with LTEWatchH http://www.lte-anbieter.info/ltewatch/count_huawei.php?Datei=ltewatch_h BTS-CID data will be shown and signal parameters, plus speedtest on each. You will see how each of them works for you. Cybertech's antenna works on LTE1800, LTE2100 but also on LTE2600 at this distance from the BTS. After the tests, we will see which bands are best to use and which router to buy. B525 aggregates two LTE bands, you can force them with HManager. The three bands are aggregated by B715, i.e. LTE2600 + LTE1800 + LTE800, does not aggregate LTE260 + 2100 + 1800. The cost is about PLN 500, come from Play.

    Antenna set to the BTS in Kępa? Unfortunately, LTEWatchH with this FW on B315 does not show CID. As for 1 km from BTS, the signal on LTE1800 is weak, as well as on LTE2100, which results in a weak UL. Overall, a good DL signal for such a signal, especially on LTE2100. On LTE800, the parameters are similar, but the antenna in this band only transfers the signal from the outside, as on LTE2600, where the signal is very weak. In general, with these signal parameters it is very good, there is potential. BTS after the modernization and you can see that the Orange network has accelerated. It remains to choose a router and possibly change the antenna.

    Yes, the antenna is set to BTS in Kepa, it is even a little closer to the BTS. The problem is also that the antenna is in the house and not outside because currently, unfortunately, I cannot put it through the balcony or roof, but it is on the first floor. aimed at BTS so that the best results are possible in LTEwatch, I tested the best place for a long time :D in that case, which router and anetne for these results is best to choose?

    And everything is clear, the antenna inside the house does not change much when it comes to signal parameters. see how the internet works and what are the signal parameters on these bands after disconnecting it. The damping of the walls and shafts is high. See also what the ECI, eNB, signal parameters and DL / UL are like when you transfer the card to an Android phone and the Network Cell Info application. Show the DATA tab. Make a test with the phone at home and outside. We'll see which BTS you connect to. Minimum to B525, E5186 with aggregation of 2 LTE bands. On it you will use LTE2600 + 1800 or LTE2600 = 800, LTE1800 + 800, LTE2100 + 800. the more expensive option is B715 aggregating 3 LTE bands and you will force LTE2600 + 1800 + 800 on it (aggregation of the upper 3 LTE2600 + 2100 + 1800 bands does not work on it). The antenna for all bands is ATK-504, wideband 800-2600MHz. Two in x-cross position, for LTE1800, LTE2100 and LTE2600 Cybertech 17dBi n antenna at 1800-2600MHz. But exposed outside.

    Without Antenna, Speedtests worse results on the 1800, 2100 and 2600 bands:
    I managed to make the antenna outside, you know speed tests a little better:

    On LTE800 and LTE2600, the signal parameters are better without an antenna, similar on LTE2100, comparable on LTE1800, but the lack of CID in LTEWatchH makes it impossible to determine whether the connection with the antenna and without it with the same BTS. And speed tests in the evening are usually worse because the load increases. Outside, the signal increase by 8-9dBi is the effect of omitting the signal attenuation by the walls. But overall it's very good, what is the street where you live? BTSs with a set of 4 LTE Orange bands are also available at Jabłonna-Buchnik Las and Aluzyjna 25F and a few others. If they are in different directions, the directional antenna can be forced to connect to the one that gives the highest speeds.

    I live at ul. Kępa tarchomińska 6m router, antenna directed towards BTSa Kępa Tarchomińska 19A, Dz. No. 14 I doubt that it will ever catch another BTS because this one is much closer than the others. So I understand that in this case it is best to buy a Huawei B525, B529 or B715 router, but on B715 I will have the best possibilities, since I have similar DL on all 4 bands, then three will complement each other and if I am still dissatisfied, I will buy a multi-band antenna with what did you send?

    I would hang the current Cybertech panel outside in the direction of the BTS and it is possible that it will amplify the signal sufficiently just by moving its collection point outside, high.

    BTS Aluzyjna is at a similar distance, but that's good because you have two BTSs nearby with 4 LTE bands. For now, test both on this antenna as well as your friend advises and check on the phone with Network cell Info eNB, ECI BTS. You will see which of them gives coverage at home and which outside.

Topic summary

The discussion centers around comparing the Huawei B529 and B315 routers, with users questioning the performance differences due to their LTE categories. The B315 is an LTE Category 4 router, while the B529 supports LTE Category 6, allowing for better band aggregation. Users living near a BTS (Base Transceiver Station) operated by Orange express concerns about the adequacy of their current B315 router, especially given the modernized infrastructure with multiple LTE bands. Recommendations include considering the Huawei B525 or B715 for improved performance, as they support better band aggregation and have more features. Users also discuss the impact of external antennas on signal strength and performance, emphasizing the importance of testing different setups to optimize connectivity.
