So the router on the window and the antenna outside the window and it would be just right. In this case, I would not need a 10m cable, it also depends on how high the antenna would have to hang.

It could be.
As for the amount of cable, you first need to figure out where the antenna can be attached and then buy an antenna with a cable.

As a general rule, the higher the antenna, the better. It can also be on the wall, but then there can be a lot less signal than from the mast. Your phone levels aren't overwhelming, so I have the impression that you would have to fight every meter up.

It is best to measure the distances with a measuring tape, because you can be mistaken. He looks and thinks - 'a, from five meters it will be', and in fact there are eight ... ;)

But these antennas differ in some details that I cannot see, because, for example, mati recommended the same, also 10m of cable, but it differed in something that I did not see.

But which?

Depending on the selling company, they have standard lengths and types of cables, e.g. 5 or 10m), or they can be cut to length.

Maybe I could take an antenna with 5m of cable, but I don't know which one will be exactly the same as the one to which the link was sent by mati.

Again - which one?

The antennas from both links are the same antenna, the difference is in the type of the Te antenna cable, from the link @ matek451 (https://allegro.pl/oferta/2x-antena-lte-advanced-4g-3g-atk504-dual-sma- 10-m-6999534273) have a better antenna cable (LMR240), and those from your link (https://allegro.pl/oferta/2x-antena-lte-advanced-4g-3g-atk504-kable-10m-sma- 7116565921) have a cable with higher attenuation (RF5 / WC55 - equivalent to H155). So antennas from the link @ matek451 or directly from Telkob ( 10m , 5m

Okay, the roof is the best place. Such antennas in general should have at least 0.5 meters of free space around them (second antenna, wall, roof, chimney, etc.), of course, if conditions permit.
But, mounting on the roof is quite a challenge, so sometimes you have to compromise and hang the antenna on the balcony or wall.

In an extreme case, in the attic. If there is a wooden gable on the direction or a window with old-type glass panes, sometimes it can be successful. But this is the last resort.

A bit to the butt because this roof would be ok, but then I need a long cable. I could try it on the terrace, but then the router will be on the first floor and I have a room on the ground floor. From the side of my room, only the wall or the roof is left.

You have a circle quadrature, because on the one hand, the router should be as close to the antenna as possible, and on the other, WiFi should be somewhere in the middle of the house, or even on the ground floor, to provide you with a reasonably good internal connection.

Anyway - you need to have the antenna outside, because that is the first condition for better reception.

There is one more option - a bit for desperate ones:

You can also try to do this: buy two full-band antennas and some antenna cable. One antenna for the roof or wall, the other one 'looking' at the Orange box - connected with an antenna cable. In this way, you can transmit the signal from the outside to the inside of the apartment to the Orange cube, which has no antenna inputs. Such a way to 'cheat' the box that it is outside and has an external antenna, so a stronger signal, and therefore the transfer, should improve. ;)

Would the router itself help somehow in this situation? The point is whether I buy it all or nothing, or in the case of the router itself, the signal will improve, it will not break the connection, but with the antenna it would simply be even better.

Nobody will tell you that, because nobody knows the real conditions in the apartment. It is possible that the situation could improve, both in terms of the Internet and WiFi. But, at this point, it's pure guesswork.
