Make This Better?
Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:58 am
Hello
I am using a WE826-T2 with MC7455 modem bought from The Wireless Haven a little over a year ago for RV usage when on the road. I must say that following the tuts it was a no drama install. Now DSL is leaving my house so I need another internet connection. My house is in a rural area at low elevation with no clear view of any cell site. I now have the modem and router setup in my well shack with a 27' tall antenna mast: Sorry about the poor contrast but a picture is worth many words.
The path as worked out by the link program: This is a screen shot of a typical status message: The antennas are two cheap Ebay LPDAs (700-2300MHZ) and are connected to the router with about 35' of LMR-240. The house is connected to the well shed by a cheap wifi band a (5 GHZ) wireless bridge. I am doing testing with a Google FI data only sim card, too expensive for normal use. The tower has cells on bands 2 and 4 that point in my direction. The connection is mostly on band 2 with short excursions to band 4. The connection speed ranges from 16Mbs to 38Mbs down link and .3Mbs to 2 Mbs uplink depending on the time of day.
Are there any easy changes I can make to improve the speed? Can I force the MC7455 to CA on bands 2 and 4? TIA
