Maximizing Huawei B818 Router Speeds: Band Aggregation Worth or Not?

Question

Hello I have a router as in the title, it achieves quite decent speeds for me at the level of 100 to 145 MB / s off-peak and in the peak to about 50 MB / s, of course, about the download speed, but recently I downloaded the update and in the Task Manager the card showed sometimes and 220 MB / s...

The router in the auto setting uses LTE band aggregation, band management, aggregation and signal diagnostics using the HManager application, HuaCTRL for Android or for Windows. The speed of 220 Mb / s in Play is possible only in the aggregation of LTE bands.

Well, you're fine.

To reliably check the speed of the connection, you need to use a certified speed-test -> https://cik.uke.gov.pl/uslugi-teleko/pomiar-predkosci-internetu/c certowany-mechanizm/

Connection to the router via cable, wifi disabled, other cable users (if any) also disconnected.

And now yes - you need to do a few tests to average the result.

But, be aware that LTE is an unstable technology and there are generally no fixed speeds, because they depend on the unpredictable influence of many factors, and most of all on how many and which customers (fast, slow, light, heavy ...) are there. currently connected to the stations. So the spreads of measurements can be very large, and this is not surprising.

The aggregation is governed by the station and it decides on which bands and at what speeds the router can connect to it. Depending on the circumstances (beyond your control), aggregation can be much, much faster than on individual bands (up to the sum of the speeds of the aggregated bands), but it can also be at the level of one of the bands. Usually there is the first option, which is much faster.

I recommend using the HManager app. It is worth forcing the aggregation of additional bands, the more so because you have a modem with the possibility of aggregating 3 bands, especially in the period of high intensity on a specific transmitter. Personally, I have been using it for 3 years on the Huawei B525 router. I check the speed from a given band, then connect the best frequencies. I have never had any problems with the SIM card, let alone the router.

I just guessed that the internet speeds are not bad, you can even play via streaming. As for aggregation, the question arose from the fact that I heard about LTE 800, 1800, 2600 bands, etc., however, as I read on various forums, LTE 800 MHz is the most crowded and the slowest, while when combining two bands, e.g. LTE 1800 and 2600, speeds can drastically increase . However, on some forum I read that someone, after rummaging in the bands with the HMeneger program, the router stopped detecting SIM cards, apparently it was created by a former Huawei employee. As you think my fears are right, I would not like to damage the equipment. I know that the speeds are not constant and they will fluctuate, on warm weekends there are a lot of people on the plots and the internet is clearly slower then. I will check the Speedtest you sent in the link and share the information on how it came out. Thanks for a lot of information.
