Just a note @ 13:20ish, Three does not cap me. I have all I can eat broadband including Netflix and other streaming media. I have been using it for working from home constrantly throughout 2020 and had about 2 short outages all year - not too bad. I'd also like to know the difference between the two antenna ports (#1 is the preference on the B535-232 for single antenna solutions, there is also a mixed mode - I may make some tests and report back). I have one of these hidden inside a commercial vehicle with external antennas in the centre of the roof for CCTV streaming so I know the external antennas work ok as the vehicle itself is a "Farriday cage" preventing normal router operation when the door is closed! Good you pointed out that you have to change the settings to enable the external antennas. Being a bloke I didn't read the router instructions at first so learned the hard way!

I have had this same router Vodafone branded for 3 years. Your advice is spot on and I'm lucky enough to have an unlimited data connection. I now use mine in the car. When in the glove box, the Android radio drops out, but I have an external antenna (similar, MIMO though a bit smaller) and it works a treat. Never ever drops out, even in tunnels and mine was about a fiver from China. Yes, a slight gamble on quality and not suitable for outdoors, but it works for me and very well.

Hey Vince! I was just going to add an external antenna for our neighbour as he isn't getting very good speeds and he's on the same 4g provider to me, so I suggested an external antenna as he's getting about 70% signal strength. I get pretty good speeds as we recently moved to a 4g router instead of the copper telephone line as because we are very rural we were getting awful speeds (4-5mb and .5mb upload) and it was taking me about 8 hours to upload a 20 minute youtube video! We now get around (80mb down, 23mb up on EE) but he's only getting around 12mb and 7mb up and he's only about 1/4 mile up the road. I was looking at reviews for antenna's and your video popped up!

4G LTE is usually in the 700MHZ band (US) for Verizon & AT&T. But you will have to check and confirm what frequencies and band your local country and carrier are actually using. Hardware store 75 ohm cables (typical RG59 ) are very poorly made for cost savings and very lossy compared to commercial grade brand name RG-6 or even (better) 50 ohm RG and LMR communications cables and connectors. At 700MHZ those losses can quickly add up with distance, much worse as PCS frequencies increase loss at 1700, 1900, and beyond 2,000MHZ. Especially if the connectors are not properly crimped. Try not to circularly loop any co-ax cable tightly, unless you know why you are doing so (as in using it as a decoupling choke). So use gentle bends, keep as short as possible and outdoors bend slightly as needed at building entrance to droop away water and snow melt. Omni directional base antennas are a last resort. You increase the chances for multi-path distortion of the bounced and reflected carrier and data. Real world gain is limited to 3 to 5 Dbi no matter what the package propaganda says. Much better to use a directional beam antenna aimed at the cell tower (or reflected bounced signal source depending on your location) if possible. Outdoor rated flat panels and yagi beams are ok, but best to use a parabolic dish or screen antenna pointed at the signal source. They reject side reflected signals and noise much better. Gains of 10 -17 Dbi are normal and not overstated if a good quality antenna is used. In radio-land each 3db gain is equal to doubling the signal. So 3 doubles no gain, 6 doubles 3, 9 doubles 6, and so on. (look for something like these in your frequency range - www.excel-wireless.com/700-mhz-grid-parabolic-antenna ). You can usually use the device log in administrator settings to read signal strength for aligning the antenna and confirming you did a good job on the co-ax. The lower the - number in Db or Dbm (usually displayed as -80 to -109) the better. Just move the antenna around for the lowest number (best signal) you can get. Now keep your 4G / LTE radio box as close to the antenna as possible to avoid co-ax cable loss and let the WiFi and/ or wired Ethernet to another WiFi access point far away do the work of getting to your phone or computer device.

I set up a couple of directional antennas got speed from 20-25 up to 80-85 mbits. Run for 3 or so years already. But you are better off getting a quality brand antenna with cleaner signal and quality low loss cables expecially if you can't put modem right next to the antenna. If you are on a very low budget you could try to make a cheap can-antenna, directional bi-quad antenna or experiment with other high gain designs.

Luxury speeds! I live in a fairly modern house in a large town (Macclesfield) and the BT provided landline speeds had been so poor (I gave up BT in 2016) that I've been relying on 4G "air broadband" since. Today in 2020 I can get between 15 and 50 Mb/s via 4G on Three with the router in the highest part of my loft and a physical cable to a switch near my PC. When fibre came to town, OpenReach underestimated the demand so the waiting list was well over a year. Today the "average speed" fibre (whatever that really is - meaning is that at e.g. 4am) is 45Mb/s - pointless to take the risk and shameful this day and age to be in a built up area which such poor performance. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks for the video which I used as a learning base to fit a Huawei B715s and an external antenna. I also noted a big rise in download speeds between speed runs one and two whenever I tested a new orientation. It left me wondering if these routers learn and adapt to their environment as the subsequent speed tests were all more stable at or around the second test result. Its important to know where your masts are to position the external antenna facing the right direction. The better face onto the mast the antenna was (although the max speeds didn't alter much) the more stable the d/l speed was in terms of delivering at or close to the max speeds. As a top tip, another thing I found was that the speed results of the router/antenna was very similar to those obtained on my Samsung S7 phone. So, at least in my case, you didn't need to roam a site with laptop, router and antenna to pin down the best location to position the antenna. The final speed results through the antenna were very close and actually a little below those obtained directly on the mobile phone.

Installed the HomeFi (Huawei B311S) and after a couple of minor hiccups i'm getting 34+ mb.... essentially doubling my broadband speed. Very happy.

I found the answer to my own question. I went and bought a similar one to this but the Huewei B525 which is 300mbps rather than 150mbps (which doesn't matter unless you want to cast your phone to the TV via WiFi at UHD like I do) I also bought the antenna Poynting 4G-XPOL-A0001 as you have in the link in the description. I found it helped me a lot to get a better signal on my roof when I pointed it in just one exact spot for the best speed. I still had a terrible signal for 4g but when I switched it to 3g it helped me from 2mb dl and 0.5mb upload to 5mb dl and 5mb upload and that was with 3. I will say that though that although the difference wasnt a lot, it did take away a ridiculous amount of lag and it felt a lot smoother. Was able to watch KZbin with no problem whereas I had no chance before really. My mate however tried EE and he went from 2mb dl and 2ul to 20mb dl and 40ul I've never seen anything like it. I didn't even know it was possible. Proper gutted my Internet provider didn't do the same to be honest but it does show its potential. Thank you for this video it helped me out a lot with the set up.

Vince, another very helpful and informative video. I followed your earlier guidance on how to get the best out of your landline broadband connection and almost doubled my speed to 7.5mbs down (still too slow but better than it was!). After a couple of years and lack of any improvement in the BT Openreach infrastructure and failure of the two local area wifi companies to provide me with a line of sight to their masts, I'm investigating 3G/4G router broadband. Two possible suppliers, both only providing 3G if I'm lucky but initial test with a little mifi unit are showing up to three times my current download speed. 4G router being delivered today for testing with an existing Three data sim. EE pay as you go sim also on its way as the EE coverage is supposed to be better. I'll see what the connection is like before looking at an external antenna, but I think I will have to go down that route. Thanks again for all your help.

regarding the antenna location, you said best signal you got was just above the garage roof rather than a higher location, in the world of antennas that's counter-intuitive, the only reason I could think off of why that is could be because the garage roof acts as a parabolic antenna and bounces signal off of it and into the LTE antenna, by experimenting around with the antenna's location you guys must've found a sweet spot where plenty of bounced off signal from roof will hit the antenna, surely the roof doesn't have the shape of a parabolic antenna but still plenty of signal will bounce off and reach the LTE antenna so that will make a difference location-wise.

Also I found out that older LTE equipment is no good, just get a new Huawei router if you are stuck with something from 2013...

By going from a 2013 modem with an external antenna with 10 meter cable outside, to a cheap modern LTE modem placed inside, i more than doubled my bandwidth.

Does anyone have any tips on how to shop for antenna? Specifically, does it matter what model router it is? I have an Archer MR200. Thanks in advance!
