ZTE MF286D external antenna?

Just to show that there are exceptions to every rule, I have no line of sight but a (very) directional antenna gives the best results.

Extending antenna cables is generally a bad idea. Ideally, they should be as short as possible. Otherwise, you risk losing anything you have gained with the antenna along the cable and connections.

Better still, site the router outside in a weatherproof housing.

To illustrate what I posted above, I have just been playing around with a Spusu sim in a Mikrotik SXT with an NL952 modem (4 antenna). No line of sight to the mast. Just pointing the SXT towards the general direction mast over the other side of the hill gave me 30 down and 2 up Using the SXT as a feed to my big parabolic dish pointed in the same direction gave me 70 down and 5.5 up.
