5G 4x4 directional antenna

I’ve been struggling to find a 5G 4x4 Mimo directional antenna. There are a few by Poynting but are omi or 2x2. I currently have a Huawei CPE 5G 370, which the previous owner has already had modified. I’m hoping to spend around £150 new or used I don’t mind. I’m around 600m away from the Three mast.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated :)
 
I think the one you are looking for is the 5G-XPOL-1-V2-41 which is 4 x 4 Mimo

Sorry misread oops
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve bought the Poynting XPLO-2-5G version 3. I’m currently trying to setup the antenna but my CPE Pro keeps using its internal antennas instead. I’ve opened it up, disconnected the 5G antennas and it connected but only for a few seconds. This is the only time the antenna has been connected to 5G, been trying for a good few hours today. Shows 0dbs for all 5G Signal when internal antenna is disconnected w/ the antenna.

I have 3 masts near by, 2 have 5G the closest only 500M (13054) and the other 1.1 Miles away(1772). The mast one mile away is much less congested and was capable of 1 Gbps next to it.

Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. I’ve attached screen shots.

Would I be correct in assuming you could use one of these 4x4 mimo routers to connect up both 4g and 5g via external sma connectors, so you wouldn't have to install 2 separate antennas (so effectively you'd have 2x2 4g and 5g)?

Yes, they don’t do a directional 4x4 antennas from what I could find. You’d need to make sure it’s 2x 2x2 mimo when connecting the antenna, if there crossed I don’t think it’ll work or as well.
 
Interesting update, I moved the CPE Pro next to the top window facing out on top of a hill. After doing this I kept locking different bands to try different masts. The 3 local masts when connected to 4G there is no 5G. But when connected to a mast 3 miles away it connected to 5G. Speed tests show 600-800 mbps last night with 3 bars of 5G. (very happy) Strange, it must of used 5+ different 4G masts but the local ones won’t let it connect to 5G.

I’m still waiting on the internal cable, I ordered the wrong ones first time.
