Which router to choose on the free market?

It depends on your budget and what offer / operator do you want to use?

It depends on your budget and knowledge / skills. There are many products on the market in the form of modems in mini PCIe or M.2 connectors. And such a modem must then be put somewhere in a "computer" and configured. So there will be no unpacking and starting devices. A few names come to mind. There are sierra wireless modems (I think the company is headquartered in Canada), there are modems Telit (headquarters London), Qualcomm (USA). Mikrotik sells something under its own brand, but they probably don't do it themselves. And only for category 6. The first 3 companies are bare modems. MIkrotik has some ready-made solutions, but only cat 6, although you can buy a modem from one of the companies mentioned above and insert it into the mikrotika router. But it might take some combining to get it going. You can also put it in a computer with linux / windos even and there will be internet.
ZTE Huawei to whom you clearly say no, has the advantage that these are devices where Janusz will start it.
The products of the aforementioned companies can sometimes be difficult to get in Poland and require import, because Poland is Huawejem, as someone noted above, so Huawei is the best and that's it.

Up to PLN 300 router. Up to PLN 100 external antenna

Whoa. This "you will manage the bravery" with such a budget! Read on, get down to earth.
For that, not only will you have to come to terms with "Chinese" crap, but also you will not be able to look at newer / faster models of Chinese crap Change the currency from PLN to EUR, you will find something non-Chinese there.
Take a look at how much LTE modules themselves cost, especially those of the higher category.

It's 200euro

In this discussion, the choice of operator is the least important and this determines the choice of equipment, i.e. router and antenna, if necessary, besides, nothing about whether it should be a pre-paid or a subscription. ownership and for pennies also the top-class one and buying it on your own is unprofitable.

On subscription.

I am so sorry because I know how this question will sound, but how old are you?

I admire the respondents, after all you got very specific answers / information:
- test the mast of the operator from which you want to buy internet access. Not any one you have in the area, just this particular one.
- you cannot afford non-Chinese equipment. Either you stop panicking with Hua or ZTE, or you change your budget.
- You cannot afford satellite internet (which would be as fast as LTE)

In Drzewica, there is no problem with LTE internet coverage, you only need to choose the right operator, I know perfectly well which will work best, its test on the LTE phone with NetMONSTER should confirm it. In addition, pre-paid for PLN 5 is enough to have 100GB for free for 30 days, enough for testing and more. A 100GB / month subscription costs PLN 43.75 / month and the B818 owns it costs PLN 249 per month, a router is worth PLN 800, the operator makes a nice gift to users, many have already used it, the router aggregates 4 LTE bands.

Thank you for the answers, I close the topic.
