I am trying to get internet to a site with a very low ADSL speed (3mbps).
On my phone (iPhone 8) I get between 40 and 60mbps on 4G with VodafoneUK.
We purchased a RBLHGR&R11e-4G (MikroTik LHG 4G kit with 21dBi 25 degrees LTE directional antenna) for them and got a Vodafone Data SIM card to test it. Unfortunately, even out in the open, the router only managed to get between 3 and 11 mbps. Standing next to the dish I ran a speed test on my phone, and was getting about 60mbps on 4G.
I am not sure why the mikrotik can only get 3-11mbps. The connection within the LTE settings said ‘Evolved 3G (LTE)’ and the RSSI was between -55dbm to -71dbm. It’s connecting at band 20 and 10mhz.
Would it be because the antenna is only directional? Should I be using an omni-directional one?
Any help is appreciated.
