RUTX50 5G router & external antennae (O2 SIM)

Hello,

Would anybody be able to tell me whether two Bluespot external antennae would be better than one? And why there's any difference?

Rutx50 router has 4 ports, so can fit two double cables from the antennae, I'm currently getting about 90-120Mbps in the day time with the single antenna from O2.

I've properly oriented the antenna with the RSSI data etc. already, but want to know whether a second antenna would have any effect?

Anybody out there running this combo/similar setup?

(I've tried all other provider SIMs btw and O2 is closest and best by far).

Thanks in advance,
Ross
 

4×4 MIMO or more. Typically you will still use two xpol antennas spaced apart to benefit from cross polarised de-correlation.

Outdoor vertical spacing is best as you rely on reflections to give decorrelated channels and sideways reflections from buildings are less likely (sideways/horizontal separation benefits most from this types of reflection) whereas mother earth will always provide at least one reflected path and then vertical separation gives the best decorrelation.
If your signal parameters are fantastic, antennas give less relative benefit for the cost. If the parameters are a little bad, the relative benefit is greater. If there are more obstructions, spatial separation more important.

I'm running two 2x2 mimo antennas spaced a meter apart on my TRB500, works well but this is on a Campervan. (mag mounted on the roof)

I take it you're running the Bluespot to 2 sma with the other two sma connected with the included Rutx50 antennas.

Oh okay, yes that's right, 2 sma from the single Bluespot antenna take up 2 of 4 sma ports on my rutx50.
The other 2 sma ports are indeed taken by the little paddle antenna that came with the rutx50.
