    Hi,
    I am looking for a router for LTE possibly already 4G/5G.
    I have an Orange/T-Mobile transmitter 700m away, super visibility across a field.
    I plan to spend about 1000-1500zl.
    What do you recommend, preferably new?
    ZTE MC888, OPPO 5G CPE T1A, WONDERS LT18?
    Maybe something else?
    LTE on the transmitter in all 5G bands is already there too.

    At home on LTE1800/2100 signal parameters sufficient but on LTE2600 very poor, SINR poor. Performance correct for test conditions. The station on the second sector has potential, 5g2100 within DSS with LTE2100, it would be necessary to check how it works but I wouldn't count on miracles, aggregation of 4 bands in QAM256 with optimal signal parameters on 1800-2600MHz should give even better speeds.

    So now the question is what equipment? :) Yes up to 1000-1500 preferably new nice if it has wifi6 (does this affect the range distance?).

    If it is also to be used for 5G then the choice is very limited, at home the signal is sufficient on LTE2100, similar on 5g2100, also LTE 2600 has very poor signal parameters, this band is 15MHz wide and plays an important role in aggregation. To sum up, if it is to be decent, an external antenna for 1800-2600MHz would probably be useful, do an outdoor test as before and show the results. 5G routers do not work with external antennas at 800-2600MHz or do not have external antenna connectors at all. For 5G/LTE an external access point in these technologies, for aggregation of 4 LTE bands QAM256 can be a router plus an external antenna. As for WiFi, AX is in 5G/LTE routers but there is a problem with these antenna connectors. Optimally you should use MC889/MC7010 and any router as IDU but here the budget grows because it is not cheap equipment. I myself am currently using the MC7010 as an ODU and the Netgear SXK50 for it as an IDU, i.e. a MESH set consisting of the AX5400 router and the satellite for it. This is my first MESH on a three-channel AX.

    Tests 7.40, 5G is not necessary, however, it is already nice such a router which aggregates these 4/5 bands. For me even this 100 mega is enough so temporarily without external antennas I would like to try. So should I hunt for a mc888? And what do you think about MC801, oppo 5g cpe, miracles LT18, ZTE MF289F, netgar orbi?

    I use the LBR20, MC801A, MF289F, I have 500m from the BTS and inside the correct signal parameters, in Play the speed in the aggregation of 4 LTE QAM256 bands 250-350Mb/s practically on each of them, to the MC7010 outside and on it the ideal signal parameters and speeds of about 300-400Mb/s, it's the predecessor of the MC889 because I was thinking about it and not the MC888, a typo. OPPO T1A without external antenna connections. Some Wonders LTE18 I do not recommend, because even though it is 5G on EG25EA, the poor Media Teka chipset in such a device is a failure and the software based on OpenWRT does not save it. Personally, I think that one should not give up the possibility of connecting external antennas, i.e. a router with 5G/LTE e-couplers or CPE. The LBR20 has LTE 18 CAT. and SMA connectors, MF289f is a known ZTE configuration of antenna connectors like in MF297D/286D, MC801a connectors work only at 3.4-3.8GHz, OPPO T1A has no connectors. Cudy even has 4 pieces but has a weak chipset. MC889 is 5G/LTE X62 MODEM integrated with external antenna. 4x4 same as MC7010.
    Outside, the signal parameters are very good at 800/1800/2100 MHz, but the SINR does not allow QAM256 modulation to be switched on, probably noise from neighbouring sectors of other BTSs, as you have some in the area; LTE2600 is sufficient.

    So with mf289f 900zl and mc888 1600zl which is better? I will be satisfied already with 100mbs

    Good I stopped at choosing:
    mc888 vs huawei 5g cpe pro 2 which is better 🙄.
    Which one supports 4g/5g aggregation?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting a suitable LTE/4G/5G router with band aggregation capabilities, considering options like the ZTE MC888, OPPO 5G CPE T1A, and CUDY LT18. The user has a strong signal from a nearby transmitter and seeks a device within a budget of 1000-1500 PLN, preferably with WiFi 6 support. Responses highlight the importance of external antenna connectivity for optimal performance, especially for 5G and LTE aggregation. Recommendations include the ZTE MC888 and Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2, with considerations for signal quality and the ability to aggregate multiple bands. The OPPO T1A is noted for lacking external antenna connections, while the CUDY LT18 is criticized for its chipset performance. Overall, the ZTE MC888 is favored for its capabilities in the specified budget range.
