[Solved] What LTE router with band aggregation max PLN 400 (may be a stimulant)

Hello,

The router currently in use is scary to write so as not to expose the siena to hate but B315s-22 :D

I looked around the forum a bit and I see that there is a lot of hate for Plus, I have Premium Mobile that uses its infra. I chose it because it has a no strings attached contract. DL/UL ok but mainly at night and early morning, during the day and in the evening poorly (3.5.7 Mbps), and I need better, because remote work awaits me. The choice of the 2100 or LTE-A band in this German program does not change much.

I don't use the antenna and I don't want to mount it because I'm moving soon. In a short distance (several hundred meters - 1 -1.5 km) a few cool T-Mobile BTSs and a little worse Play but I think it's still good.

Does it make sense to buy a better router for PLN 300-400 NON-HISTORIC with aggregation, as one friend described here, or rather try to play on a 100 gb card and over-januszc? If so, please suggest models.


BEST REGARDS

Buy a starter from another network for a fiver to try, you will exclude the problem of the router.

First of all, it's not hate on Plus, it's just a factual assessment of the quality of its LTE network, although quality in this case is too big a word, you use it yourself and write that it works normally only at night and in the morning, and for the remaining 16 hours with speeds of several Mb / s means as before on HSPA and 3G. If someone has the option of choosing another operator, it's strange that he hasn't checked it out yet, especially that this Premium offer is not a rarity. As for the B315, in many locations it is a router completely sufficient for the LTE Plus network, about 3/4 of the operator's base stations operate in the LTE1800 + 900 aggregation, with the LTE900 band only 5MHz wide is a full drama and only LTE1800 at 20MHz counts . The number of base stations where LTE2600+1800 FDD aggregation has been implemented, mainly in large cities, is insufficient, LTE2600 operates on the next 20MHz of the band. In addition, a trace number of stations with TDD LTE2600, which is now allocated to 5g2600 anyway, and some stations with LTE2100 only on the 5MHz band as for LTE900. Of course, there are still stations operating in the GUL format, i.e. with GSM900 / UMTS900 / LTE900 without capacitive bands, i.e. total misery.
To sum up, the LTE Plus network is an inconsistent mixture of bands, built without logic, with many holes and inefficient and based on base stations with backfeed on radio lines, mostly free. And all this in a situation where Plus has the largest radio resources of all operators, obtained for little money and sometimes in unclear circumstances. That's just for clarification.
When it comes to the question, first where do you use Plus, from which base station, what bands on it, what signal parameters on them and Polish DL / UL in the internet peak? Show test results.
In addition, the same is the case with Play, the offer of 100GB for free on pre-paid does not have price competition, I would also check Orange because you can choose something on pre-paid with this operator.

@siewcu I tested it in different places of this Playa's house and it's better. It whetted my appetite, because there were glimpses of a worthy internet :D

@NOWY987654321 I don't deny that you're right, I resigned from it myself before taking Premium.

Please recommend models for band aggregation in Play for a maximum of PLN 300 - 400 (there may also be a stimulant). There won't be many devices connected. I don't have big requirements except that he should have better transfers and not fall apart after a year. If nothing helps, I'll return it to the store.

And I asked about specifics, i.e. primarily about the location, the fact that it is to work in Play requires checking the infrastructure at nearby stations and tests on the odNowa card with a 100GB package for free on the phone with the application https://play.google.com/store/ apps/details?id=cz.mroczis.netmonster&hl=pl&gl=US and showing the screen from the Live tab on the phone and speedtests, the test is always performed outside. Only after that, further steps, i.e. a router and possibly an external antenna, and the question of whether Play pre-paid or subscription-based?
And Premium is the same bottom as Plus because it is an MVNO on the Plus network, and in addition also managed by the Solorz company, you hit the gutter from the rain.

Playa speeds as it is in the B315 on the window with a few today.

So far I have found three candidates at similar prices, stimulants well below the budget and good:
B525
B535
B612

Which will be the best? Rather, these models do not have a simlock, right?

Colleague @NOWY987654321 blocked but maybe someone else can help?

At Oleska 86 you have a station with four bands, of which at least three are for aggregation. None of the three listed routers are suitable and will not use the station's capabilities. Unless 20Mbps is enough for you, take the B535. If you want more, you already need e.g. B628.
Why don't you use a landline operator in the city?

Hello, I'm uploading further tests from the window on Monday evening when there is a load. Beyond 2600 it's a drama.

@IC_Current I don't use it, because allegedly there is a problem with the cooperative's consent to connect, I only rent but it also puzzles me, not to say more clearly.

20Mbps all day long would be enough for me. Something wrong with this B612? This B535 will be more expensive somewhere between PLN 50-100.

Unfortunately, you have B315 with software that does not show CID, they were from Orange and T-mobile distribution. With your location, the fact of showing this data is important because you have Play base stations nearby at Sądowa 5, on the EOC chimney, these two have LTE2600 2100 1800 800 aggregation and the one working in LTE2100 1800 800 aggregation at the Odra stadium - mast lighting and one more LTE2600 2100 1800 800 on Solaris
In tests on the phone, the one at the Festival popped up. In general, the application showed a connection on LTE2100 with it on the phone, but the signal parameters are similar to those from Sądowa so it is possible that the phone or router will jump on BTS because in addition there are other PCIs in the neighbors on NetMonster with carrier 523 responsible for LTE2100 with a bit a worse signal and these are the other stations in the vicinity that I mentioned above.
In the LTEwatchH application on LTE800 you have the correct signal, the station is unknown because there is no CID, the LTE800 band is clogged with it, not worth attention, but the 5MHz operating on it is standard for you.
LTE1800, the station is not identifiable due to the lack of CID, signal parameters are sufficient, the band is full. LTE2100 gives a little hope, the signal is sufficient, no CID and somehow it works, and finally the icing on the cake, i.e. LTE2600 and here it is a firecracker for the poor signal parameters, it works well and the fact that we don't know which BTS is from is worrying.
So in short, it remains to ask from which side is the window where the B315 is located and whether it is open. As it is supposed to be budget, it's B535 and LTE2600 2100 forced aggregation on it, there is no problem with it because it will show all the necessary CIDs in band management and diagnostic applications. These are the two fastest bands in PLAY, together they have 35MHz and if you improve the signal on 2100-2600MHz it should be fine, but you have to mess with the router settings because as far as I know, you wouldn't want an external antenna and the internet should last until the change place of residence. You can buy a B535 router on OLX, second-hand Allegro for PLN 200-250. On OLX it is also for PLN 280 to negotiate from someone from Opole, call, maybe it will sell you cheaper.
Regards.

Thanks a lot, I'll try to put the other side on the window today and see what the parameters will look like.

Don't go this way, don't buy the B612 under any circumstances, it's not even worth 150 zlotys. This is equipment that was not offered in Poland. This router has 6 LTE cat, but its modem does not aggregate 2 LTE bands, the speed up to 300 Mb / s is due to the fact that it has 4 internal antennas for MIMO4X4, on external it works in MIMO2X2 with DL up to 150 Mb / s on one band, at home on internal you have no chance for MIMO4X4 also only MIMO2x2 and the station must work on MIMO4X4 and this is not always the case.

The measurement from the window on the other side of the apartment didn't tell me much... slightly better parameters of the lower bands, the 2600 in total similar.



Assuming that now I have 15 Mbps on 2600, when aggregating bands on the B525 or B535 router, how much will it be approximately? 20Mbps? 25Mbps?

I took the B535, it seems to be a little better but LTEWatch does not work on it, is there a newer program for this?

I bought a B535, plus playa coverage and it's much, much better.
