ATK504 vs ATK-LOG ALP LTE Antennas: Differences, Price, Compatibility with DWR921 & Forest Coverage

Hello, as in the subject, what is the difference between these antennas in addition to the price of over PLN 100 ATK504 or ATK-LOG ALP LTE. I have a summer plot around the forest and a lot of transmitters at a distance of 2-15 km, but between us there is a wooded area and you can't see the mast. I have a D-link DWR921 router and the closest T-mobile and Aero transmitter. I have about 5 km to Playa, which I would prefer. I do not want to overpay and in my opinion both antennas operate in the same bands, so why the difference, what do you propose. Thanks for the advice and best regards

For starters, localization and some tests of operators outside, test of signal parameters, LTE band, from which BTS and speedtest. The DWR-921 does not have the ability to select a specific LTE band, it will connect to the broadband antenna reliably on the range, free LTE800/LTE900 bands. Old, weak router.
Both antennas from China, ATK-504 has a higher gain, of course not as stated by the seller, it has larger dimensions (more elements), and a short cable with an N (f) connector. Dipol offers a similar antenna to the ATK-504.

Hello, the location is 51°54'56.3"N 15°57'47.8"E. Regarding antennas, what dipole model is the equivalent? I'd rather something ours than Chinese. Regarding the tests, I did the Network Cell Info cell and RSRP I have -93 to -100. I will be at the plot over the weekend, so I will send more data - but what and what should I do?

Dipol is now a dealer, its own antennas are ATK-10, ATK-20 and ATK-16 and older log-periodic antennas without shield. These ALP-LTE are Chinese, just like the Trans-Data https://www.dipol.com.pl/antena_trans-data_lt...0-10_mimo_10_m_wodu_z_wtykiem_sma_A741024.htm, these have dimensions and parameters like those from Telkobu, only the cable is probably permanent.
In Orange, T-Mobile coverage with the poverty of BTS NetWorks Kontop only 800/900MHz on LTE800 so it will be slow. In Lubiatowo, there is BTS NetWorks with LTE1800NW, but the BTS is planned for modernization and refarming, so maybe the LTE2100 and LTE800 and LTE1800 bands of each of them will appear. Plus has LTE1800 aero2 in Lubiatowo and poverty, i.e. LTE900aero2 on the 5MHz band. In Kontop, only the bare LTE900 and it will probably cover it. Play uses BTS Chełmek on LTE1800, LTE2100 and LTE800. Jasionna and Lubgoszcz also work on these bands, but the closest one is still in Kontop, and rather these 3 bands. Tests needed, location difficult. For today, Play rather without competition.

Thank you very much for such a professional exploration of the subject. As for the choice of Play, this is very nice news for me. I understand that the more elements of the antenna, the greater the range and power, which is better in my difficult terrain? Regarding the tests, what is the best way to perform them and what parameter should you pay attention to? If my d-link is already archaic, what is worth recommending?

Tests on an LTE phone with the application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite&hl=pl on operator cards. The Pointer tab will show eNB, ECI of BTS, LTE bands and signal parameters on it. Test outside the house and speedtests.

I just did this one. Any advice on routers?

You did but I didn't see the results.

I will be on the plot, I will do tests and screens.

Tests in RK on the 3G Orange network say nothing about Play's coverage in this place. Turn off RK on your phone or use Play internet card, this one has no access to RK. In domestic roaming, Play's voice card connects to BTS NetWorks Lubiatów on 3G UMTS900 Orange, signal is weak and DL is limited to 3Mb/s anyway. On this BTS Orange and T-mobile each have their own LTE1800 and LTE2100, BTS is refarming and this is good news. Konotop only with LTE800. Plus has LTE1800 and LTE900 in Lubiatowo and only LTE900 in Konotopa. Play launched BTS Konotop on LTE1800, LTE2100 and LTE1800. And it is from this BTS that the range for internet tariffs should be.

Thank you, I did the tests on the Play card but apparently Orange has a better signal. The house is located 10 m from the wall of the forest higher than the house in the direction of Konotop, while in the direction of Lubiatów it is as empty as possible, the road and small houses. Will the forest not be an obstacle even though there are more frequencies in Konotopa and a bit further? Can it be placed on Lubiatów, where there are fewer obstacles and closer? In addition to Play, Tmobile is more likely to come into play.

I mounted two ATK504s but I only managed to get 4-5 mbs set to the northwest (Nowa Sól). Is it possible or have I placed them wrong? What should be the distance between them when one is fixed at +45 and the other at -45 degrees?

Is Nowa Sól to the north-west? Which operator, which LTE band and what signal parameters on it? Antennas about 0.5 m apart.

0.5 m is the distance measured from the antenna holders or antennas? My antennas are about 5cm apart at the widest point. It seems to me that Nowa Sól from the location of my house is just to the north-west. I will do the tests and send them, I only need to attach the antennas because I have downloaded them for now.

Hello, back to the topic. Is it possible that the atk 504 antennas are faulty? On the huawei b525s 23a router with internal antennas and atk 504 outside there is no difference. Transmitter about 2 km through the forest and lake. 2-3 range LEDs are on on the router, no matter which antennas. Photo tests.

In the router settings, I change to external antennas and physically screw the wires from the antennas. I have a problem with adding photos with tests. I'll try to resize the file later.

Thanks for the instant reply. I have a multimeter at home and I will bring it over the weekend and check it next week. Photos with tests on the first with external antennas, the second internal. One more speed is at 15 mega. Like Lte +, but I did tests on each of the bands and rather these 15 are for 800. 1800 and 2100 are about 10, but they do not connect them together. I also bought an orange card and the range is the same but the speed is already 40. I would prefer to be on t-mobile because it is more beneficial for me. Strange because the transmitters are on the same mast.

I wrote that I did tests on single bands, but it doesn't matter. Nothing changes except that no diode from the range is lit on the 1800 and 2100 bands. Tests with or without aggregation is the same as speed and power on 800. Later I will post a photo.

I did the tests

Tests with one outdoor and one indoor antenna.

Two inside.

One more thing, yesterday I was walking in the forest and the phone connected to some orange transmitter, which is not on the btsearch.pl website. a, which is less than 2 km from me. Is it possible?

Hello, what's up with this short circuit on the antennas. I have a multimeter but I don't know how to check for a short circuit?

Thanks for the explanation, but I still don't know how to check the DC short circuit with this multimeter. Please provide detailed guidelines. Thanks
I checked the antennas on another router - the same. AT router damage eliminated.
