Just tested the 5G router in the new place - coverage checkers on 3 and nperf both say no coverage at all.
2 rooms face the front of the house, pointing in the general direction of a couple of known masts. First location I tried, almost instant 5g signal locked....
Speed test run and:
Then tried the upstairs room:
Signal level in the upstairs room:
Very happy with that!
Currently we're around 900m away from the closest Tower, and get 100-150mbps reliably. At the new place, it's 2.4km from the same tower which the router is connecting to - the difference being that the new place is much higher up and has pretty much direct line of sight to the same cell tower.
I'll be looking into an external aerial for the new place. Also the single thread test on speed test still gave 153/23 at the same location that gave 270+ multi threaded.
FTTC at the house is around 50mbps.
Few tests and an hour or 2 later, seeing 270-300/25-30mbps consistently in the upstairs room.
