    In Trąbki, the range from BTS Play Gołębiewo Wielkie operates on it 4 LTE2600, lTE2100, lTE1800 and LTE800 bands and their aggregation. A router with LTE band aggregation is required, minimum with 2CA or B525, E5186 or with 3CA or B715. Antenna after testing all LTE bands on the router. did you do any Play tests on your phone, mobile internet on which card?

    Hi, thanks for the quick response.

    I have a separate card for mobile internet, unfortunately I do not have a good router, I only have an airbox from Orange, which is a crap in itself.
    I can do the tests, I have Motorola G5S plus at my disposal, I just need to know how :)

    Install Network Cell Info on your phone and take tests on this Play card at home and outside. Show screenshots from the DATA tab and speed tests.

    Aggregation LTE1800 + 800 from BTS Gołębiewo, signal on LTE1800 tragic, better on LTE800. Nice SINR and speed in such conditions. In your sector also confirmed LTE2600 from it. It would be worth doing a BTS test on your direction to check if you connect in the LTE2600 + 1800 aggregation and check your speeds.

    I can drive up to BTS, and I understand that I just have to do the test again and upload the results?

    I think that the location of the router could improve a little, because lying with the phone also gave results, but the signal also depended, e.g. on where I held my hand :)

    Now the second question - antennas - on alledrogo is a router with factory antennas (normal screw-in sticks) and without them.
    What is worth buying and how to buy? Or maybe the antennas will do nothing?
    I can put the antenna on the wall of the building or on the roof, but if I put the router in the attic, I don't know how with wifi, because under the attic there will be a suspended ceiling, probably profiles will make problems. If I brought the cables from the antennas to the room upstairs, it would be with 8m cable from the antennas.
    Well, do you need to mount two antennas?

    I apologize for so many questions, but I have never had such equipment :)

    Do these tests, you'll know what to expect with a valid LTE signal. Outdoor antenna only, cables up to 10 m long. No screw antennas are a waste of money. Dual antenna with two cables for the 1800-2600MHz band.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting an LTE router with a built-in modem for mobile internet from Play, specifically for the location of Trąbki Wielki, Gdańsk, with a budget of 600 PLN. Recommendations emphasize the need for a router capable of LTE band aggregation, suggesting models like B525, E5186, or B715, with a preference for those supporting 2CA or 3CA. Users are advised to conduct signal tests using the Network Cell Info app to assess LTE performance and determine the best router placement. The conversation also touches on the potential benefits of using external antennas, with recommendations for dual antennas for optimal signal reception, while cautioning against low-quality screw antennas. The importance of cable length and routing for antenna installation is also highlighted.
