Huawei 4G 3 pro (B535-232) vs ZTE MF286r: Static IP, MAC-IP Binding & External Antenna Options

Hello,
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a dilemma because I combine internet for a family in Trynosy-Osiedle. Older people.
Internet with T-Mobile for about PLN 50, the nearest BTS T-Mobile is 4 km and the band is 1800.

I am considering Huawei 4G 3 pro (B535-232) or ZTE MF286r.
Medium flight desktop computer without wifi and it is important that the equipment (router) has the option to set a static IP for some devices on the network, such as a network printer.

The key is whether the Huawei B535 has a static MAC-IP binding?

In the future, we are considering an external antenna.


What do you think about it?

Greetings!

Install the application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mroczis.netmonster&hl=pl on your phone and give a screen. Outdoor test and evening speed test.

First, test T_Mobile and Orange.

And did you do any on-site tests with T-Mobile? Taking into account the strange configuration of the antenna connections on the MF286, the choice of B535 is optimal, the range is probably from NetWorks Jelenie or Zastawie BTSs where aggregation of 3 LTE2100 + 1800 + 800 bands works, without the antenna there is no chance for normal internet, you also need to check whether the base stations are not clogged, on the B535 you will benefit from aggregation of LTE2100 + 1800 capacitive bands or each of them with LTE800. You also have to check whether the B535 from T-mobile to their FW has LAN addresses reservation by MAC.

Hello,
At the moment, there is a different mobile internet with Tmobile, only the Alcatel LINK ZONE cat7 modem and the 4g one has 1 bar. He zips barely but breaks off. The window points to the building from the south (opposite) and bts tmobile is 4 km to the east, so I assume that an external antenna will be needed.

It mainly deals with whether or not there is this static ip setting for a printer, for example. ZTE has, but the hotline guest cruelly advises against and praises huaweia.

PS: The guy from Tmobile says their internet uses ONLY Tmobile transmitters. There are many other transmitters in the area and this one is only Tmobile.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you may know whether this equipment has the option of static ip

The fact that ZTE has an address reservation, I know because I have it myself, it has a rich FW, the choice of LTE bands in WebUI, but the downside is the configuration of external antenna connectors, one works only on LTE2600 and the other on other LTE bands, so you will not use them with MIMO2x2. T-mobile uses the NetWorks network and not only its own base stations, it is a company from Orange, BTS Jeleń operates under the T-mobile license and the Orange Zastawa, the infrastructure on the masts is common, but each operator has its own LTE bands. The deer is closer, but the forest is on the way, further to Zastawia, but without any obstacles. Alcatel is not suitable for this location, it is scrap without signal diagnostics, without selection of bands for aggregation and, above all, without antenna connectors, worth little.

Thanks for the enlightenment within the strands at ZTE :)

In this case, I will fight this huawei. Initially, the orange service (I asked the competition) claims that the new equipment has a static IP function in the internal network.


Unfortunately, only initially, because I have not found this option anywhere else so at most there will be a return
It is comforting that I did not find an option that it would NOT have this option.

Now it remains only to search for an inexpensive SMA antenna for the surrounding bands. I found the cheapest one for PLN 100.
The question is, does a colleague know what bands Huawei supports on external antennas? Or are they rather general bands and the antenna needs to be adjusted to it?

I am already starting to google or going to make such directional antennas myself :P

For posterity ...

Under another link of the electrode, I found instructions on how to make a 1800mhz antenna.
https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3216884.html (Antenna design for LTE for 1800 MHz frequency with installation)

The question is whether I found it right, the new huawei has SMA antennas?

In Chinese, I have seen antennas on SMA and other (inexpensive) connectors, such as the following:

Such

Is that

In other words, I look at what to choose an external antenna, but not to overdo it.

Although now LTE catches 3 by 5 lines and not just one, like its predecessor.

Thanks for the info. Measurements in plans for a future visit to the in-laws.

Meanwhile, I am considering whether it is worth it.
Huawei catches the internet in speeds between 6 and 10 and in gusts it will also catch 16 ... with a limit of 100gb and typical office work and youtube, it is enough. Upload has a nice, 3-5 mbps that's why I considered cheaper antennas because with a resource of 100gb at full speed, the profitability of these antennas is questionable. But this is a topic to be negotiated.

Quote:

Therefore, if I do.
Tmobile takes PLN 50 for it. An interesting option that appeared is a local company that provides Internet (also LTE / GSM), but has its own corporate packages that sell to customers. In other words, they want to sell 10 mbps GSM internet as a 'permanent connection' for PLN 60. I am considering whether it makes sense because I have not been able to get information about data limits by e-mail.

Correction ... the company, despite the offer on the website, turns the cat's tail and claims that this offer is no longer available. Probably it is caused by the madness of the epidemic, where originally, for example, T-Mobile had an offer for companies with no data limit and now ... corporate packages are the same as consumer packages ;)
