Why does the signal quality jump?

Good afternoon

I am in the area, the distance from the tower is supposedly about 7-8 km.
From the phone, I steadily catch a 4G signal right from the window, and the speed is about 20 Mb / s.

For home Internet, I brought a directional antenna to a height of ~ 4.5 meters (such a blue, passive one), and threw a Keenetic router with a port for a USB modem onto the roof. Modem Huawei E3372. As a result, a coaxial 5-5.5 meters goes from the roof, after which it is connected to the modem through an adapter, and this whole structure is connected to the router.

As a result, the modem is connected via 4G, and the signal is usually 15 / -75 (CINR / RSSI), the speed is under 10-15 Mb / s.

It seems to work, but CINR keeps jumping between 0 and 15.
RSSI usually fluctuates between -75 and -53.

I look through Kinetics, and there CINR is updated every 2-3 seconds in the UI, and it happens like this:
15 -> 12 -> 8 -> 5 -> 2 -> 9 -> 6 -> 1

As a result, the Internet is unstable, speeds are always different.
Interestingly, this is not always the case, and sometimes the Internet just flies all day.

Tell me which way to look?))

If the coax is some kind of rg-6, then the length must be reduced and check how it is connected to the antenna. And the pigtail on the modem is homemade or factory? 5 meters for 4g is at least 3 dB of loss, half the antenna gain is often. Place the modem as close to the antenna as possible, use a USB extension cable, but you will have to find a very good one, on most junk only a mouse can work. What is the blue antenna? What is written on it? is it for 4g?

Buy mikrotik with sim card, type SXT. Put it on the roof
From it, throw the twisted pair cable down
Don't you think that the router on the roof is a little awesome from the weather?)

Didn't find what you were looking for?
