Strongest LTE Antenna for Huawei B715 Router in Bądy 14-400: Play Operator, 800-2600 MHz Bands

ABanko 16239 19
Best answers

What LTE antenna will give the biggest real improvement for a Huawei B715 on Play in a difficult mountainous location with 800/1800/2100/2600 MHz bands available?

A parabolic or offset dish antenna is the only option likely to give a noticeable improvement over your current ATK-504; ordinary panel or log-periodic antennas usually add only a few dB, and the ATK-504 itself is about 9–10 dBi in practice [#19203539][#19203877][#19203584] If you want 1800/2100/2600 MHz, you need a suitable converter for the dish, because the 800–2600 MHz range is problematic and standard consumer antennas will not change things dramatically [#19203584] A practical gain of roughly +10 to +15 dB on signal level is the realistic expectation from such a solution, but the result depends heavily on the exact location and aiming [#19203584] In difficult terrain, changing the antenna position can matter as much as changing the antenna itself, because signal can vary a lot over just a few centimeters [#19203584]

    The first one is not 30dbi. Rather around .... 5dbi. Plus 15m of cheap cable and you go to 0, only the reception point is moved outside. Oh, paper will accept anything.

    Lhg is a router + antenna. And you already have a router. As far as I remember from foreign forums, it gives slightly over 10dbi of gain, so here the specification is not exaggerated.

    The parabola will always be the strongest. You can even hang a plate up to 1 m long. It's just like a parabola that's hard to set up.

    Of the two popular and well-tested ones on the market, this is the cybertech panel, formally 17dbi, in practice around 10, but at 800mhz it suppresses rather than amplifies. Or atk-504, similar gain around 10, but also works at 800mhz.

    Repeat the tests, but putting the router outside, because I assume they were done inside the apartment. The walls are solidly muffled. Then you can estimate the signal level with the antenna used.

    Hi, as I wrote, the tests were done on a double ATK 504 antenna. The terrain is difficult, mountainous, therefore the presented result is the best I have achieved on these antennas. Therefore, I am looking for something stronger to stabilize the link. The range of the router without the antenna is one line and almost no transfer (I didn't even check the parameters). What can I say - here even the phone has no range 🙈. Today, a fitter came to me to install an antenna from Play - some ZTE 15kat. and gave up because did not catch LTE.

    I overlooked the information about the antenna. Sorry for the confusion.
    Then said antennas won't make a difference. Perhaps this lhg would give a few dbi more.
    So a reasonable alternative is a parabola.
    With a lot of reserve, approach what the Chinese wrote on the air and what is sold on Allegro. If you buy 1000pcs, it will write whatever you want, even on a piece of 50dbi wire.

    In that case, if I get quite good results on the current antenna with a real gain of 10 dBi, then buying a parabolic antenna with a converter that will handle 1800, 2100 and 2600, will I achieve noticeable differences in connection with BTS? Does this solution also have a much lower real profit? I am determined to handle it as best as possible, so I apologize for stupid questions ... And one more thing - it is possible to connect a TV set-top box to such an antenna simultaneously with LTE to limit the number of antennas on the mast?

    Will it be better and how much better you will find out when you test it. There are no patterns for this.
    Rather, together with the TV you will not jump on it with one antenna. These directions are not.

    The direction of both the LTE antennas and the plate from Cyfra+ is the same, maybe a few degrees difference, in addition, the plate is slightly directed upwards. Hence my assumption that if there was a technical possibility, one plate would collect all signals, and my mast would not "stick" from the building under the weight of the antennas 😅. There is a possibility?

    I don't know. I don't know each other. When I used to have a satellite dish, it warped a little higher than on btsa.

    The antenna is one thing but the key is the radiator for it, here and without cables there are people who use equipment from Russian colleagues https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=460625&st=28120, maybe they will respond. Of course, the idea of using SAT and LTE on one dish is a misunderstanding. Aesthetics must lose to practice, I know those who have installed two grids for MIMO2x2 on LTE2600 something like https://www.cyberbajt.pl/produkt/3030/antena-grid-24-ghz-24-dbi.html

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around finding the strongest LTE antenna for a Huawei B715 router in Bądy 14-400, specifically for the Play operator operating on 800-2600 MHz bands. The user currently employs two ATK 504 antennas, achieving speeds of 25-40 Mbps during the day and 2-10 Mbps in the evening. Recommendations include a parabolic antenna for higher gain, with suggestions that typical antennas may only provide marginal improvements. The ATK 504 is noted to have a real gain of about 9-10 dBi. Users emphasize the importance of antenna placement and suggest that a parabolic antenna could significantly enhance performance, especially in challenging terrains. The feasibility of using a single antenna for both LTE and satellite TV is also discussed, with consensus that this is not practical.

FAQ

TL;DR: "The parabola will always be the strongest"; many "30 dBi" panels are ≈5 dBi and 15 m cheap coax can zero that gain—so use a parabolic dish with the right LTE feed. [Elektroda, m.jastrzebski, post #19203539]

Why it matters: For Play users near Bądy 14-400 on Huawei B715, this helps pick the strongest 800–2600 MHz setup and avoid bad buys.

Quick Facts

What is the strongest LTE antenna setup for a Huawei B715 near Bądy?

Use a parabolic (offset) dish with a dual‑polarized LTE feed covering 1800–2600 MHz. This approach typically yields +10–15 dB signal improvement and better SINR, far more than classic panels or logs. Expect noticeable stability gains if you aim it precisely. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19203584]

Do those “30 dBi” MIMO panels with 15 m cables actually work?

No. Real gain is closer to about 5 dBi, and 15 m of cheap coax can cancel that benefit, merely moving the reception point outdoors. As one expert noted, “Oh, paper will accept anything.” [Elektroda, m.jastrzebski, post #19203539]

Can MikroTik LHG LTE boost my B715, or is it redundant?

LHG LTE is a router plus antenna. Its gain is slightly over 10 dBi, but it replaces your B715 rather than augmenting it. Consider it only if you want an integrated outdoor CPE instead of the B715. [Elektroda, m.jastrzebski, post #19203539]

Is the Cybertech panel a good choice if I rely on LTE800?

Not ideal. Although listed around 17 dBi, practical gain is near ~10 dBi, and “at 800 MHz it suppresses rather than amplifies.” If LTE800 is key, consider alternatives that truly cover 800. [Elektroda, m.jastrzebski, post #19203539]

How much real gain does ATK-504 provide?

Expect about 9–10 dBi, not 17 dBi. Treat marketing numbers cautiously and compare against measured RSRP/SINR. Use ATK‑504 as a baseline; moving beyond it usually requires a dish for bigger jumps. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19203877]

Can I combine satellite TV and LTE on one dish to save mast space?

No. Different frequency domains and feed hardware prevent a shared antenna. As stated: “There is NO way to use an antenna to receive SAT and LTE together.” Use separate systems. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19204936]

How do I find the best outdoor spot and aim for maximum SINR?

Follow this quick process:
  1. Temporarily mount the antenna outside and scan roof/walls; move by centimeters.
  2. Log RSRP/SINR and run short speed tests at each micro‑position.
  3. Lock the best spot; then weather‑proof and route short, quality coax. “In difficult conditions… signals can change very rapidly, even when moving the antennas by centimeters.” [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19203584]

Will a stronger antenna dramatically raise my evening speeds?

Not necessarily. Small antenna gains from classic panels often add only single dB, translating to “a few, a dozen or so percent” speed increase. Bigger jumps need a dish and clean SINR, but cell load still limits throughput. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19203584]

Should I retest with the router placed outside before buying anything?

Yes. Put the B715 (or a test CPE) outside to remove wall losses and re-check metrics. “The walls are solidly muffled.” This shows the true baseline and helps you choose the right antenna class. [Elektroda, m.jastrzebski, post #19203539]

What feed do I need for a parabolic dish to cover 1800/2100/2600?

Use a dual‑polarized LTE feed (radiator) designed for 1800–2600 MHz. Some linked options lacked 2600, so check specs carefully. Many wideband feeds require import, but they unlock the dish’s full gain. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19203584]

Are online antenna gain claims (e.g., Allegro) trustworthy?

Be skeptical. Treat flashy specs with caution and verify with independent measurements. As one expert warned, “If you buy 1000pcs, it will write whatever you want, even on a piece of 50 dBi wire.” [Elektroda, m.jastrzebski, post #19203820]

Even a pro installer failed here—what does that imply?

In tough terrain, standard operator CPE can fail. A Play technician tried a ZTE Cat 15 device and “did not catch LTE.” That suggests you need higher‑gain solutions and meticulous placement or a dish feed. [Elektroda, ABanko, post #19203570]

What practical MIMO 2x2 dish options exist for LTE?

Two paths: use two parabolic grids for MIMO 2x2 on LTE2600, or a single dish with a dual‑polarized MIMO radiator. Some ready radiators advertise 2×21 dBi when paired with suitable grids. “The key is the radiator.” [Elektroda, matek451, post #19205042]

Any example of a ready-made dual-LTE parabolic to consider?

Yes—users point to dual‑polarized parabolic LTE units (e.g., 24 HV, 2× N connectors) as the class to look at. These are purpose‑built for LTE MIMO and strong directional gain. [Elektroda, jarek7714, post #19203292]

After upgrading, what should I share back to help others?

Post your final antenna model, feed, cable type/length, alignment, RSRP/SINR/RSRQ, and day/evening speeds. Others asked for outcomes because “purchased” alone doesn’t help comparisons or tuning. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19624036]
