I wish. If the RUTXR1 had a 5G NR modem, I'd be GBP 400 richer today (and could take some extra days off).But both devices have the same modem?
Sadly, the loft is about 7 Celsius at the moment so I'm not going up there.If only there was some kind of converter to try the TRB500 modem in the RUTXR1...

It's happily meeting requirements which I can tell from testing with an Samsung Tab 8 on Android 13 via Devolo Magic-2 WiFi 6: https://www.speedtest.net/result/a/9097203142@mikeliuk
How are you getting on with this now Mike.
Any issues at all, 4G LTE side good as well ?
I have 5G back working on my mast so this is back on the list, don't really need anything until May when we start using the camper again.
Looking to upgrade from a RUT360.
| Carrier aggregation | Triple |
| Connected band | LTE B3 / LTE B1 / LTE B20 |
| Signal strength | -62 (Excellent) |
| RSRP | -95 (Fair to poor) / -105 (No signal) / -88 (Good) |
| RSRQ | -13 (Good) / -15 (Fair to poor) / -13 (Good) |
| SINR | 6 (Fair to poor) / -1 (No signal) / 9 (Fair to poor) |
For each particular location, I would recommend moving the router around a little to try to improve the SINR when connected to the same tower (aiming for better than 10 dB or 13 dB). I would then reset the router in different locations within the property and note the connected Cell ID and measured throughput in each location (by a window is not always the best location). The best performing cell tower can then be located using http://cellmapper.net to decide which side of the property and position to locate the router (higher usually better).Does anyone have experience with other antennas on the TRB500 or RUTX50? Or other ideas how I can improve the connection speed?
Perhaps the Poynting XPOL-2-5G Antenna that was mentioned earlier in this thread is an option here as well ...
I am not experienced with optimizing cellular connections, as I previously only used cellular as failover and didn't care that much about speed. And when I deployed a cellular router for my mother, it instantly had decent speeds, even with the router positioned in the middle of her flat.
Signal strength is good at my location and the current firmware (TRB5_R_00.07.04.1) finally brought a more consistent connection speeds (around 50 MBit Down, 20 Mbit Up). Carrier aggregation is usually "Dual" and sometimes switches to "Triple".
The values for RSRP, RSRQ and SINR are not that great though and often show "Fair to poor".
The TRB500 is located upstairs directly at a window. I use it as a replacement for my Broadband internet, as it is much cheaper for me to get internet through cellular (almost free, but that's a long story …). I am willing to invest in further hardware if needed as the monthly savings are substantial with 30-40 €/month.

Could be a fun one to investigate within the 14 days online right of return. It looks like the report is that downloads top out at about 250 Mbps when the preconditions are right. Per the below, I can spike/burst above 250 Mbps but don't have a second 5G NR router to confirm or rebut the issue. Very interesting though.@Xup Consider sending it back while you can!
FYI: There's a fundamental fault with the TRB500/RUTX50 binary blob & Teltonika are blaming Quectel..

Sent two back last October when we hit this exact issue and reported it to Teltonika. Kept one for testing but no sign of a fix yet..
