5gee router which antenna

[simonharryharri]

Can someone point me in the direction of the best Antenna for the 5gee router I got delivered today, EE tell me they don't sell one to go with it?!

So with some spacing and setup as suggested by @EssexBoyEE  i have the best speed I’ve managed so far.

Ahh ok 260Mb

Very happy with that, considering where I live, I will leave it alone now.  Until I test the 4x4 antenna later in the week, not sure if it would make a difference.

But we have ports 1&2 connected on 1st 2x2 antenna and ports 3&4 connected on 2nd 2x2 antenna just now.

Catching a different tower now too.

RSRP:-106 dBm
RSSI:-100 dBm
Band:B1+B3+B3
Cell ID:8454932

So it seems there is merit in 4x4 configuration on the router, as the best I could get with just one 2x2 is around 190Mb.

Same Mast, just a different Sector of it.

Glad it's working out, I've got some other pointers you could try but on the road now for the rest of the day.

Awesome, when you have time, always willing to tweak and see if I can get more from the system.  So it seems that sector is very nice 🙂

Hi All. 

new here and just got my EE5g router. Is it worth getting the ee to supply a antenner or getting my own one. 

Im in Plymouth with 5g near by but the router is only picking up 4g??

Hi @LordSmith

Is the SIM card on pay as you go or pay monthly? 

Leanne 🙂

[LordSmith]

Hi @Leanne_T 

its on 18 month contract.

[Leanne_T]

Thanks @LordSmith

Does the EE Coverage & Network Status Checker, show 5G is available indoors? 

Leanne 🙂

[LordSmith]

Ah looks like for me its outdoors only.
