Re: Is an external antenna worthwhile?

I have a buddy who has one of these https://www.wifi-stock.co.uk/details/mikrotik-lhg-lt...

and he claims to get 300 down. Big claim and not seen it for myself so take it with a large pinch of salt.

A very big pinch of salt, given like the other Mikrotik LTE routers it only has 100mb/s Ethernet ports...

He's always been a bit of a [censored], but thanks for checking it out now I can rub it in his face.

Re: Is an external antenna worthwhile?

When i originally took out EE ultra expensive 4g broadband some 14 months ago i also went for the £100 out door antenna and was reaching speeds of 90mb to 100 download speed with the provided EE equipment.

But i ditched this equipment as i was getting strict nat or Type 3 Nat and there are very few menu options to change setting and set up.

I bought a Netgear router with a sim slot and also changed my EE broadband deal so i had unlimited sim for a fraction of the price, was paying £90 a month for 200gig originally that lasted some times a mere week with constant playstation 4 and xbox one patches.

Since there are not that many routers on the market that i like that have 2 sockets on the back for the installed EE antenna i do without using the outside source.

But i achieve around 22 meg download and that does me.

Another downside is the cable length they allow from the antenna been no more than i think is 5 metres.
