What equipment do you recommend?

Question

Mikrotik

Good day. Recommend equipment.
Dano - zag house, region, city of Kirov. In the house, the Internet catches the maximum edge. We leave the house, move away 30-50 meters - we have 3g -lte, with a weak signal and a speed of 0.5-1mb.
The task is to make a stable Internet in the house. 5mb will be enough. I look towards the Mikrotik lht lte kit, but I'm not happy with the cost. Maybe it's an overkill? And is there a better option?
Unfortunately, it is problematic to go there and check the signal on the spot, I myself am from another city, this is for my parents. Therefore, you need to go immediately with the right set of equipment.
Do I understand correctly that the differences between lhg and lhgcat6 are only in frequencies?

All this should work on an iota, because there are no other unlimited tariffs, if I looked correctly.

Answer 1

You don't care, your parents still need Wi-Fi at home, and for this one more box. Take a separate router, antenna, separate modem, cable, induction loop module and assemble everything yourself. And first find where to direct the antenna and where to hang it. read about Fresnel zones

Answer 2

Maybe it's an overkill? And is there a better option?

there is a simpler wap lte kit, or sxt lte kit. wap is the weakest, sxt is more powerful, lhg is the most powerful

Do I understand correctly that the differences between lhg and lhgcat6 are only in frequencies?

cat6 supports LTE category 6 with aggregation of two bands at different frequencies, it helps to increase the speed and responsiveness of the channel quite well if the operator's BS supports aggregation. For example, on my megaphone cat6 gives 150Mbps reception, against 60 on cat4

Answer 3

you can look at such a topic as mikrotik equipment

as an option to file a repeater in general.

something like this. (look in dns \ citylink there is probably something suitable)
today we will test the repeater, I will tell you if anything how it behaves showed. bought in dns.

Answer 4

Several problems need to be solved:
1) Is it possible to "take" a cellular signal directly from the house (for example, by raising the antenna to the roof)?
In this version, you can make an outdoor antenna (or even a pair), and throw a cable to the modem plugged into the router. It must be understood that each meter of cable weakens the signal, so 5 meters is the limit.
For this scheme, you need a router with USB (for example keenetik viva, from 1000 r), a modem with a pair of antenna connectors (from 1500 to 3500), a GOOD cable, a GOOD antenna and a little soldering.
2) If it is impossible, then you will have to get the Internet where you caught it.
then either transfer option 1 to point 2 and pray for the weather conditions. Or we buy an external street access point. The same Mikrotik with a parabolic antenna, and we record it via PoE over twisted pair. Router at home.
It is no longer worth powering more than 50 meters, but judging by the description, this is your case.
3) For the first trip, buy SIM cards from several operators who conditionally catch in that area. And grab a map of the location of the base stations.
Z.Y. Perhaps it is worth moderating the ardor at the expense of unlimited. Sometimes tariffs with traffic will be cheaper. Especially if you connect unlimited social networks.
He himself implemented option 1, successfully reached 4G to the base station 12 km away. Recently, after a thunderstorm, the modem turned off, I'll try Mikrotik. If it doesn't work, write here. I'll let you know the result.
