Choosing LTE Antenna for T-Mobile Unlimited Internet: Huawei B525s Router, 800+1800MHz Bands

ATK-504 is good, works on every band. http://telkob.pl/inkontrahent.php?t=1565&g=376&q=&r=0&rg=0&sg=

No guaranteed 60Mbps. T-Mobile does not guarantee minimum speeds, offer for 65 PLN / month with DL up to 60Mb / s or for 49 PLN / month with DL up to 20Mb / s. What you will achieve on LTE1800 + 800 will show a BTS test on your direction as long as the aggregation starts and it is not given to you forever. Speeds depend on the load on the BTS.

I know that nothing is guaranteed with mobile internet, but when I signed the 60Mbps contract I was hoping for something more than 18Mbps. Otherwise, I would sign a contract cheaper up to 20Mbps. A router without an external antenna can aggregate 800 + 1800 bands, with 800 as the primary one and 1800 as the spare one. I want to improve link stability and increase speed. Will ATK-504 handle band aggregation and is there any difference between ATK-502?

You can always call t-mobile and ask about the possibility of changing the offer to 20Mbit / s. I don't think they should be doing the problem. Before that, do your bts tests.

Tests done. Near BTS speeds are reaching the discussed 60 Mbps. I did not look for favorable hours and I did tests today (Sunday) at 15. What should I do to get such speeds at home and what antenna should I use to improve the signal?

You can possibly take with a 5m cable LMR240 it will be cheaper and less cable loss. Remember that in LTE nothing is forever, but the signal is weak, and the speed on a good Sunday is a lightly loaded station.

Hello, let me join the topic. I am the owner of the Huawei B528s router with internet from T-mobile, unfortunately in my town is very poor coverage I was thinking about buying an antenna to improve LTE. Below I attach screenshots from Hmanager. I wonder why after the change from LTE to 3G the range increases and the internet speed increases (speed test changes from download speed 3.6 to 7.8). Please help me to choose the right antenna and to direct it to the appropriate BTS. My place of residence is Balczewo in Kuj-Pom.

LTE800 from BTS-a Networks Modliborzyce, very weak signal, low SINR and speed. Put it out the window and show how the signal parameters on the LTE800 look, and DL / UL on the speed test, it may be overloaded. LTE1800 and UMTS2100HSPA + DC on 3G from BTS at Laubitz 19 in Inowrocław. Residual signal on LTE1800, not bad on UMTS2100. In addition, it works on DC, i.e. DL up to 43.2Mbps and is faster than on LTE. Finally 3G on free UMTS900HSPA + with BTS-a Błonie 6. In general, do the LTE1800 and LTE2600 test with B528 outside the window. LTE2600, LTE800 T-mobile and LTE1800NW operate on BTS Błonie 6 and Jagielońska 22 and aggregation of these LTE bands. BTSs with LTE800 alone such as Modliborzyce are usually overloaded. Better chances for better speeds from those in Inowrocław, both on LTE and 3G with UMTS2100.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Tests carried out with the router outside the window. First LTE 800 + speed test. Others also, in addition, speed tests on the Auto setting are the latter (st) and on G3 -2100 are the latter (st). Does the antenna help at all.

LTE800 is already mentioned Modliborzyce, as expected, despite the improvement of the signal clogged band, not worth attention. LTE1800 this time a weak signal from LTE1800NW in Wybranów. On LTE2600 is T-mobile from Pl. Klasztornego 2. The aggregation with BTS at Błonie 6 as the basic LTE1800 band and LTE2600 or LTE800 from it joined. Weak signal, adequate speeds. In the home T-Mobile, such BTS jumps are the norm. In such a situation, it is necessary to purchase an external broadband antenna operating in the 800-2600MHz band, e.g. 2xATK-504 from TELKOB. You'll set up Inowrocław and on it further tests of bandwidth and aggregation and setting it to a specific BTS. As it will be difficult to predict. Speeds depend on many factors, it will definitely improve and stabilize the signal on all LTE bands, you will use it in case of 3G on UMTS2100HSPA + DC.

Thanks again for the info and valuable advice. When displaying the router in other windows, it was still connecting with BTS at the hospital on ul. Poznańska in Inowrocław, but there were no major changes. It remains to buy the antenna and further attempts. After buying and testing, I'll let you know what and how. Thanks again.
