Hi All
I hav recently had to move to a 4G Home broadband solution. Frustratingly I was receiving an Air fibre solution with 100mb download. Even more frustrating is the green cabinet at the bottom of my drive has 1GB broadband! But no, I don't go into that green box!
Anyway I have had to resort to a 4g/5g package. I have taken a EE mobile broadband out which came with the Huawei 5G CPE Pro. (I also have the external Antenna that was thrown in for free!)
I live right on the edge of a 5G Area and was not expecting to pick up 5G, but I can! Now my issue is I am getting fluctuations in speed and looking for advice on positioning.
I have 2 Masts both EE, 1 under km, and the second in approximately 2.5km. without the external Antenna I struggle to get any sort of speeds (even on a phone).
The Mast that is under 1km away is uphill, about a 30m thick woodland, and a few houses between us and I cannot get direct line of site.
The second mast, If I mount my Antenna on a pole I can get direct line of site to it as between myself & this mast is a valley and I am on top of the hill on one side and mast the other side.
What are peoples thoughts? Would you direct the Antenna at the mast give or take that is open space between, and would you mount it higher rather than on a wall?
