Very informative Peter. I am using Yeacomm NR330 in Mumbai with the provider JIO in 5G SA mode on IPv6 and IPv4 both. Great device after the firmware upgrade.
Hey Peter, I watched one of your videos before and you mentioned something about taping the in connectors on an external antenna; what type of tape was that that you suggested to use
Great idea. I can't stress the need to seal these connectors. I do it for everything from TV to 5G. Here is the product that I have always used amzn.to/3wNVw8X I've tried it in black, white and clear. I really like having all 3 colors as many cables are black or white and this makes it blend in nicely. Clear is well, just clear and is good for sealing a connector that you want to find again.
Hey @PeterC408 - I'm about to jump on T Mobile 5 G home internet for the first time, and would just like your input on a good first attempt setup. Already plan on disabling the Wifi on the gateway (saw your other video on how to do that, along with the MTU settings ;) ), but after watching more of your videos, it seems I am about to enter a whole new world of potential setup annd tinkering options (which I love!). My phones are currently on the T-Mobile network, and I regularly get 600 - 1000 down at the location I plan to put the gateway, depending on time of day. Wondering if I should go ahead and plan on external antennas, a different box altogether, or any other potential options. Or, should I wait and see what I get with just the T-Moble provided equipment as is before I start going down a rabbit hole. Thanks in advance for your input!
Definitely wait and see what you get. Now one thing to be aware of compared to a phone is that your phone only gets one signal. These 5G gateways can aggregate two and sometimes more, however you do have a lower priority than a phone customer, so if there is traffic you will get throttled for traffic, not for usage but for traffic load. There are ways around that too.
From my own speed tests I've found that it's very, very difficult to get some consistent reading all the time. It varies so much that I cannot take for granted what the exact speed is that I get at any time. Point is that the less expensive antenna could just have been used at the "wrong" moment or vice versa. At another time the speed might have been better than the more expensive one - the signal to noise ratio and power is constantly adjusting. I guess it would take a whole run of measurements and the ability to switch back and forth from one to the other within seconds in order to conclusively give the nod to the more expensive antenna.
This is why we look at RSRP, RSRQ and SiNR instead of speed. Thus will give you an un-time biased look at actual reception and allow you yo compare two antennas exactly.
It will be more interesting if more frequency bands like 5G 3500Mhz WiFi 6E at 7125GHz are compared between antenna models. Nowadays, the frequency range for wireless communication is wide and it will be fantastic to see full spectrum comparison not just one or two bands. Wonderful video anyway.
It is indeed true that just like a musical instrument, these antennas have their sweet spots. This one appear to do well at the edges. That and gain is much easier at higher frequencies. Here is their spec sheet drive.google.com/file/d/12xcGXkFi0kf_niZlhxEuLRgTTxgKtS3H/view?usp=sharing if you were interested.
The ability to change the APN is available on many gateway devices. Most of these devices are made in a factory and can be sold to a variety of different companies to attach to a variety of different networks, so this setting must be software defined somewhere. The APN only defines which network you will attach to. T-mobile has different APNs for business, home, and hotspot networks. This helps set the priority.
I was going to say, that one can never judge an antenna by looking at it but this, www.t-mobile.com/accessory/t-mobile-internet-5g-antenna Is obviously a toy. It says, "The T-Mobile tested and certified 5G Antenna mounts to a window inside the home to allow for flexible gateway placement." Inside the window. No this is not worth $99, I would much rather see people get an external antenna like these ones Maswell 5G 4x4 MIMO amzn.to/46F0cuJ WaveForm 4x4 MIMO review ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a72fwKACD9E.html
The gateway from T-Mobile has been modified to disconnect the internal antennas and bring out SMA connectors, so yes, antennas can be with in 7 inches of the modem even closer but if this project might t not be for you. 😉
You can buy your own extension leads to extend the lead range into more than 7 feet away. I.E buy some 20 feet LMR 240 lead to get away the antenna and the router of 20 feet. Everyone has a different cable length requirement
They sent me the spec sheet that shows how this antenna performs at different frequencies, if you are interested drive.google.com/file/d/12xcGXkFi0kf_niZlhxEuLRgTTxgKtS3H/view?usp=sharing
The term economical is usually used for reoccurring costs, OPEX. This is a one time, CAPX, expense that will be amortized over years of use. In less than 2 years, this will look like $9/mo. If $9 a month makes this a viable solution so that you can save $30 a month, it's good business.
@@Keeeeeeeeeeev 5G has given copper some competition. So whether or not it works for you, 5G has brought Copper prices way down and elevated their service level. If an antenna will help, there are several solutions available.
