Hello everyone, I'm a electrical engineer and I'm totally new to Mikrotik products. Currently, I'm working with Router Mikrotik R11e-4G and I want to compare the signal strength, signal quality between Mikrotik and my mobile phone Samsung S7 GM-S930F on LTE cellular network . And surprisingly, it's not better (much) than my phone. I did a test, recording log on both devices over 24h within 30min interval. I placed them on a weak signal zone inside my house. I expected that Mikrotik would have got the signal much better than phone (look at its shape ) at least 5-7dB. but no, it didn't. You can take a look at the attached graph. just so you know, both devices connected to the same eNB, same cell, same band, same frequency, and because I only have 1 SIM card so I didn't record log on the same day on both devices but literally, it's still reliable.
Anyone knows what is the cellular gain value of Mikrotik R11e-4G's Rx antenna or whichever model familiar because I couldn't find it anywhere. I only found the gain value in term of Wifi antenna. And has anyone faced that problem or it's normal?
Any comment would be appreciated because I couldn't explain this myself. Thank you very much for coming by and reading all this.
