[lowdown94]

best place to look is on the ISP Review forums, as they have a dedicated board to Mobile Broadband, and there are so many options...

Depends on the Router Model No. If it's a Huawei or EE Badged Router with only 2 Antenna Ports then its an easy choice.

If it's a Zyxel NR5301 with 4 Antenna Ports then its not so easy and will depend on your 4G Signal and your 5G Freq Band.

Yes, that's the Zyxel NR5301 with the 4 Antenna Ports, best to say its not as straight forward as the 2 Port Routers because of the way the Ports have been configured (or EE have requested it to be configured).

Youve got a few options with this, depending on what 4G and 5G Bands are in your area, either 2 lots of 2x2 Mimo Antennas or 1 4x4 Mimo Antenna, but the later would need to cover All of EE's 4G and 5G Bands currently being used now or in the future.

On the Routers Status Page (Admin Area) there will be a Signal Status Info, which should report some or all of the following, Network in use 4G or 5G (the later may say NR or NSA), 4G and 5G Bands currently in use, 4G will be B(something) 5G will be n(something), RSRP for both 4 and 5G, enBid or Cell ID Number, plus anything else that apears on the Status Page.

Post up what you have (please dont post any Mobile Numbers or IMEI Numbers).

No thats WiFi Info, you need the Status of the Mobile Network.
