Good afternoon. I have a very poor internet connection speed (somewhere around 3-5 Mbps). I am planning to purchase an external Ubiquiti Nanostation m5 antenna for outdoor installation. The distance to the provider's tower is about 300 meters. I can imagine for sure that up to a speed of 54 Mbit / s, in principle, you can get it, but there are "jumps" in the signal level (this is confirmed by the wi-fi analizer) indoors, the signal level can be obtained up to -40 dB, which is not bad for yourself, TP-LINK router TL MR 3420, (now the frequency is 2.4 GHz), but the speed rarely rises above 7 Mbps (this is at 5 am), most likely the load on the base station is low. I changed the tariff a year ago, (beeline) I don’t remember what it says, maybe the provider is putting a spoke in my wheels? And will the ASUS RP AC 68U repeater help? In the business of improving wi fi performance and internet connection.
P.S. I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE up to 100 Mbps stably, without taking into account the load on the base stations of this provider. Is it possible? It can finally switch to 5 GHz, although over time it will also be very noisy ...
Answer
Good afternoon. To be honest, your question is strange. Or I didn't understand something.
Do you have Beeline 3G / 4G Internet via USB modem? If so, then Wi-Fi has nothing to do with it. I understand that you have a modem connected to a router and the Internet is distributed via Wi-Fi and cable. Let me explain now.
Wi-Fi has nothing to do with it, because your speed is most likely limited by the operator (base station). It is clear that the speed is higher in the morning, since there is no load on the BS. And with a distance of 300 meters to the tower, the speed is unlikely to be so low due to a bad signal. Since your signal should be maximum.
The first thing to find out: what is the speed with a direct connection of the modem to the computer. With this connection, it should be maximum. You can pick up the modem on the USB extension cable and watch the speed change. If the speed is higher, then perhaps it makes sense to install the antenna. And so ...
Perhaps your neighbors have the same internet. Ask what speed they have.
Ubiquiti Nanostation m5 is a Wi-Fi antenna. You don't need it at all. Maybe I just don't understand what kind of Internet you have.
