Choosing the Best Orange LTE Office Router: B818 vs B618 vs B535-232 Based on Location

Question

Hello, I've done some reading but I'm still green. Currently I am in the process of choosing an LTE Orange office internet router. My GPS location: 53.131131 17.797786 53?07'52.07'' N 17?47'52.03'' E (Lochowice 86-065). I haven't done any cell phone tests yet...

After all, there is nothing to think about here, the choice is one, i.e. B818, the others are useless for Orange in this location, but the basis will be the tests of this operator that are needed to select an external antenna, this one is of course the basis and necessary. What is the cable released on the roof, there should be two with an impedance of 50 Ohm.

There is a difference in price, so there is something to think about. It is not true that the other two are useless. They are just as random, only they will get slower speeds due to the aggregation of less bands. Or maybe the author has relatively low needs for speed, but he cares about minimizing costs? And in two sentences you can write the difference between these models and the speeds obtained and what it results from.

One? 50? if 75 ohms ? It's for the office, so business use, it's also worth taking the one that gives the greatest flexibility and stability of the link in various conditions, i.e. the B818, which can potentially provide the greatest stability of services provided in the office.

Office Internet but also home, i.e. console, yt, some movies, music.

I don't know what the performance on Lte is, but I think a stable 50-70 dl / and at least 5-10 upl (for remote desktop or anydesk) would be enough.
As for the cable, I have to ask an electrician, but there are a total of 5 of them on the roof because they are still under the satellite.

Edit. The cables are rg6 coax

These are cables for SAT and TV. You don't have LTE antenna cables. Or at least the black ones RG6 gave? But don't stress too much, because cables for LTE antennas are basically always bought together with the LTE antenna, packed to measure with the connectors. The problem is to install connectors for such cables at home, because you need knowledge and, more importantly, the right tool (crimping tool).

so black. It's hard for a layman to grasp it all, I think that now there are such narrow specializations that even such a general electrician probably does not know all these novelties and there are a million of them.

Cables do not matter so far and you have to pull new two to the external antenna anyway, the key is whether you have already chosen a router and will it be B818? Because on it you will have to do specific band and eNB tests, preferably putting it outside, based on them, the selection of the antenna and setting it to a specific BTS. And as for the specialist in antennas, cables for LTE, there are practically no such.

You say that b818 should work more stable and has better prospects, so the choice will fall on him.
As soon as I have it and have some time I will do some tests.
Since there are no cables for lte anyway, the ones I have are not suitable? What should they be then?

Here, we are talking about basic knowledge about SAT/TV/LTE/LAN installations and everyone who installs cabling SHOULD have it. But some of the electricians do not have it or have it fragmentary, or / and worse, they save on the client by putting the biggest, cheapest crap that their wholesaler has in the walls (not to mention low-cost in any location, how far from the requirements for a given installation) - and then it will still be the customer's problem. Such a reality, not from today anyway. Well, a layman takes a professional to do everything right for him. Ces't la vie... The ones you have (RG6, 75Ohm) are for TV (DVB-T/T2) or SAT. Oh, and a curiosity - they could be for the Polsat ODU IDU, but it is a unique technology on the LTE market.
