Other options would be wait for StarLink or build a modem and try to get a data plan/SIM to work. Would need to ...

Most antennas have trouble with the low 600MHz.

Could also try turning off your Wi-Fi and using the ethernet cable

Make sure you use band lock. Your modem could be switching bands on you

It will work!!

A good test to see if an antenna will help is bring your modem to the cell tower for a speed test. Use a good quality power inverter or better use 12v from a vehicle if you have access to one. This would give you a baseline of what speed is possible with a good signal. Keep an eye on your signal to ...

Is there a way to tell what bands your modem is connecting to? Cell mapper is a good staring point but is often outdated information . Most cheaper modems do not have Carrier Aggregation & MiMo which are helpful for better speed. https://www.cashify.in/what-is-carrier-aggregation-how-can-it-increase ...

Your numbers look pretty good not sure if an attendance going to help.

Your modem is a Cat-7, your phone is most likely a Cat~20+. Not fair to compare the two.

Make sure to use a hard Internet cable connection for your speed test. This would remove WiFi from the equation.

Awesome job @mtl26637.

Little Nuggets of gold like this make reading all the post worthwhile

Would look at T-Mobile before you get too crazy with hardware.

Depending on your location you can spend much more on antennas and cabling.

Verizon AT&T also have a home solution. There also Starlink maybe this year??

Need to be careful with running speed test. Take note on what server it’s connecting to. This can change your results by over half. The test also uses a lot of data.

“ I have tried T-Mobile Home Internet and same issue”

There are tricks to get the t-Mobile gateway to work better.

Opening it up to add pigtails to an external antenna.

Replacing the wall wart switching power supply with a better quality power supply can help with the Signal to noise.

How long are your cables?
What type of cable?
What is your Signal strength?

Some excellent advice posted.

Antenna selection can be an art form, with a lot of trial and error and cash.

Do your homework, keep your cables very short!

They offer industrial and first responder type equipment.

Some have talked about using a VPN to hide your modem.

Captain obvious here :geek: It’s either your signal or your SIM or both. From your screenshot it looks like your signal is a little week.

It would be helpful if you shared your Signal numbers.

WoW cool setup!! 8-) If I had to guess the bottleneck is with The USB connection. Would get with the boys at the The Wireless Haven Store and find a good router for that killer Modem you have.

Just a thought, are you using WiFi for you testing?

If so replace with good quality ethernet cable cat-6/cat-7

I am all for KISS (keep it simple stupid) I have not worked on latency problems maybe someone else could help. I would think that is more a Tower issue.
