Ew, using flat panel antenna and cables for a fixed installation is just wasting signal. Use something like Microtik LHG 4G, or just about anything parabolic

Use something like Microtik LHG 4G, or just about anything parabolic with the modem in the focus, it'd be much more faster and reliable.
I did that multiple times - ~1m off-axis sat tv dish and a 4G usb modem fixed in position with duct tape for the best results; microtiks are somewhat worse, but better integrated. His setup wouldn't even see the base station in those places.
- zinekeller 4y ago> Use something like Microtik LHG 4G ... that is not approved for use in India (in residential settings)? I have checked Microtik if it is approved by Indian authorities but it seems that it isn't, probably because TFA points out that high-gain active boosters are banned.
- lstodd 4y agoMicrotiks aren't boosters, it's just a dish with LTE modem in the focus. If they aren't approved (and I can see why - just because no one at Mikrotik can be bothered) -- then use a sat-tv dish and a modem. Surely those are available? It'll get you 30+ dB gain and no loss in cables. (edit: besides, in Indian boondocks no one would ever think of checking if a piece of kit is approved. src: many friends there.)
