T-Mobile Home Internet: Poor Transmission with Huawei B529 Router - Antenna & WiFi Solutions

Hey,

I have home internet from T-mobile with a Huawei B529 router (this cube).
Unfortunately, it works very slowly - in gusts in Speedtest download and upload equally - 4-5 Mb / s, and often slower - 2-3. The pages barely walk, and I can dream of HD streaming.

I would like to install additional antennas on the roof of the house. I have coaxial cables (2 more free) 75 Ohm from the utility room to the roof. I would also like to increase the wifi signal at home (ground floor + first floor).

And now - do I think right:

1. I'm not sure if 75 Ohm is a good cable - but it's going to be difficult to bring something new to the roof right now, without interfering with the walls
2. I am close to the transmitters: 1.3 km and 2.6 km (picture attached) - but the internet is poor
3. I would like to mount 2 x atk 10
4. I could mount the router in a utility room, connect the network transmitter, connect the AP.

Will do the trick? Something will improve it?

The cable is bad, it must be 50 Ohm. Install this application on your phone https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z7rbzxjy23t9vbw/AA...dDKTAa?dl=0&preview=Huawei_Manager_1.2_PL.apk, log it in to the router and select the 800 and 1800, 1800 + 800 bands, show screenshots + speedtesty.

As a friend advises, first test on individual bands to check which BTS the router connects to and what signal and speed parameters. We always show DL / UL. You should log in to the closer one but it is different. On both LTE1800NetWorks and LTE800 T-mobile and their aggregation. You will also need to check how these BTSs work on individual bands near them in your direction with optimal signal parameters. The directional antenna allows you to choose the less loaded. The B529 has a battery so it's not a problem.

Thanks for the answer.
I already have the app installed. In the evening I will do tests on different bands and send screenshots.

So:

For LTE 800:


For LTE 1800:


For LTE 1800 + 800

And how does it look like?

LTE800 tragedy from BTS-a Cerekwica-Mrowino. Signal weak, low SINR band clogged. LTE1800 from Rolna 41, weak signal, low SINR DL, UL or BTS stuck. LTE180 + 800 aggregation does not start. Connection only to LTE800 Cerekwica. It doesn't connect to Bytkow where there are LTE1800 + 800 bands. It is possible that the chance for a normal internet is to check how it works under BTS Bytkowo. You position yourself about 200-300m from it in your direction and on the B529 you force LTE1800, LTE800 and LTE1800 + 800 one by one, check the parameters, CID and speedtest. LTE800 is also on BTS near Rolna, so check the same under it. It doesn't look good yet. It is possible that 3G may be the fastest with UMTS2100 HSPA + DC on Rolna St., check them at your place and under this BTS.

So:
Some time ago I took the router with me and made measurements at a distance of about 200m from the BTS.
The following results:

Bytkowo:

LTE 800



LTE 1800


LTE 1800 + 800



AGRICULTURAL:

LTE 800


LTE 1800


LTE 1800 + 800


And how does it look like?

There is no madness, weakness for me. DL> UL but generally slow and low SINR.

It's not good. But is it worth investing in an antenna? Because it's better than at home.

Without forging the walls, you can set up the router at the antenna itself, and then import the twisted pair cable (or WLAN after the coaxial cable if you do not have twisted pair, the "wooden" solution works for a short distance), or play matching impedance of the transmission line (I do not recommend, a lot of fun , finally you will probably understand "why Edison preferred DC").

800 and 1800MHz wideband antenna, e.g. ATK-502 from Telkob. Two pieces because it's MIMO2x2. You will check Bytkowo and Rolna pointing at them.

@ matek451, I doubt that an antenna for such a wide bandwidth would be a good choice, unless it is actually two antennas with a crossover network ... if not, the gain of such a miracle will be not much better than the antenna built into the modem ... Fresnel zone between the possible antenna on roof and is BTSem? If so, any shit on the roof you put on and you will have a good range, if there is none, then in 1800 or 2600 you will not improve it with any antenna, then try an antenna with a good gain (yagi?) At 800.

And do you know what the logarithmic periodic antenna looks like and works? These antennas work in a wide range and have a gain of 9-11dBi, minus cable losses, quite wide radiation angles associated with their construction. For this transfer of signal intake to the outside. The distances are not great, my friend has no choice. Without the LTE800 antenna, the router logs in to the crowded BTS Mrowino. On LTE1800 to Rolna. Generally there is a lime in T-mobile but it is becoming the norm at this operator. Especially on BTS with bare LTE800. This is not an operator for this location if someone cares about speed.

In theory, I know, in practice I have never used such antennas for anything above 450MHz, so I haven't had the opportunity to check. One thing is certain - for 1800, as on any microwave band, the most important is the Fresnel zone.

Mount the antennas on the roof and pass through a ventilation chimney with cables.
Only if I buy good antennas, because I don't spend 300 zlotys smiling and something that won't help

@zeeon, check at least through link.ubnt.com (better via ve2dbe.com Radio Mobile, but this program is complicated), whether from the height of the house (you set at the point on the map) to the height of the BTS (select say 30m) you have at least 40% Fresnel zone clearance. If not, I will say in advance that it will not help.
