I have been using a Mikrotik SXT LTE6 with a Quectel cat 6 modem as a dish feed for a few months now and have been happy with it. Yesterday afternoon it had some sort of brain fart and started doing all sorts of weird things. In desperation it got pulled off the dish and replaced with an old Three B310 router.
The SXT is back to its normal self today so I did some back to back tests using both as a dish feed. the results surprised me.
SXT speed: 18 down 8 up. RSSI -74dBm, RSRP -108dBm, SINR 0dB, RSRQ -11dB
B310 speed 32 down 7 up. RSSI -83dBm, RSRP -105dBm, SINR 6dB, RSRQ -5dB
In short, the old B310 is wiping the floor with the SXT. Last night it was giving speeds of 42 down. Now I'm torn. The SXT has all the features: weatherproofing, POE and configurability that I like, but the B310 performs better but will need work to make it suitable for outdoor use. Plus, the user interface is basic in the extreme.
