After reviewing all kind of alternatives of an 5G capable router I found this thread via a nice Google search. A very interesting thread with a lot of useful information. As I currently have NSA capabilities in an area where I live (Verified and concluded via my phone in a good spot inside the house) with very nice speeds.
I tried to review all available 5G routers and came to the conclusion that this 5G router (ZTE MC801A 5G) which a friend of mine as well bought here in Sweden and he have gotten some very good 5G speeds w/ NSA without an external antenna at the moment.
https://www.sotel.de/en/Handy-Tablet/Surfsticks-MiFi/Telekom-ZTE-HyperBox-5G-white.html - Both I and him got hold of it for 250 EURO (Around 208 GBP) which to me is a bargain when looking at all other alternatives landing at around 420GBP in Sweden. Still waiting to get it.
My question to you guys who seems to be experienced in testing different type of 5G routers is connected to the External Antenna capabilities. As I already have read and concluded that the TS9 ports to be used with external antennas on the ZTE MC801A only improves the 5G reception.
1. Will the reception and bandwidth speeds of NSA become better if I buy and connect an external antenna to the TS9 ports that only improves 5G reception?
2. If yes to above - Any tip for me on what kind of antenna I shall buy to benefit of better speeds/reception?
Below is a coverage map from the operator I can use. The pointer shows where my house is and I guess due to the square seen close to it (5G coverage according to the map) is why I get the reception. The yellow markers I laid out is a medium sized mountain, behind my house. As you see behind it it has great 5G coverage as stated in the map.
Any hints to improve my installation would be good.
