Noob: Suggestions for aiming / configuring LHG for cellular

Tue Jul 20, 2021 8:19 pm

Greetings,

I'm helping my folks finally get some internet at their house. So far, with just the LHG sitting in the front yard, we are getting 10/5 speeds. I've tried using some online cell tower sites to find the location, but as I'm running speed tests, it really doesn't seem to make much difference which direction I aim the antenna at. What's the best way to see this? Through the Mikrotik app? Looking at rssi?

Also, are there any other configurations or settings changes that would help improve the performance? This is a US kit, but it doesn't appear that I can change bands at all? I'm seeing 2,66 from the cell tower locator.

My appologies for asking basic questions, I'm new to this type of equipment and Mikrotik, but I'm incredibly impressed so far. They already have a full Unifi stack, so we'll keep their USG handling their routing/firewall. It's pretty basic.
