Hi. I’m thinking of signing up to Three 5G home broadband. Can only get 20mbps VDLS line at my address. I have good 5G coverage according to the map. It says 5G should be available both inside and outside of the property.
I need to use the 5G for gaming though so require low and constant ping without any drops.
Three provide a free indoor router (Zyxel NR5103EV2). It has 2 external antenna ports on the back of it (not sure if both for 5G or one for 4G and one for 5G):

My question is, for gaming will it be necessary to install an external antenna on the exterior of my apartment?
Also, I’ve been reading about outdoor/indoor router combo setups. These in particular;
5G (Askey) RTL6300 (outdoor) + WiFi 6 5G RT5010W (indoor) (this was a setup EE used to provide but no longer do):
www.5gsamall.com
ZTE MC7010 (outdoor) AND T3000 (indoor):
(Both EE and Three used to provide these outdoor router setups (no only available used) but for some reason they seemed to have ceased providing them.)
How much better will my service likely be with an outdoor router vs just having an outdoor antenna connected to the free Three router. Is this necessary
Thanks

The Zyxel NR5103EV2 5G NR Indoor Router supports the latest 5G NR technology while at the same time remaining full compatibility with 4G networks. The NR5103EV2 is ideal for 5G NR FWA deployment.
