Zyxel NR5101
Question about Zyxel NR5101
Hello I have been using the NR5101 router and the Upgrade Solutions USL 5G/LTE external antenna USL-1007320 SMA 3 dBi directional beam for about 1 month. The whole thing is used via a Multi SIM from Swisscom Business. Strangely, I can't get a 5G connection. The system can be connected via 4G+. However, the speed is identical to the Huawei router I was using earlier. According to Swisscom, I have 5G (frequency 2100). According to the technical data, the router and the antenna support this range. Does anyone have the same or similar constellation and can confirm that 5G definitely works with the NR5101 and what speeds are achieved? Sincerely
Hello,
I've only run the router with Sunrise so far and it works fine. (But I think Sunrise is on 3.5Ghz for me).
When I'm in the country again, I can also test my prepaid Swisscom. I wanted to compare anyway.
However, in my opinion the external antenna is not suitable.
Internally, the router already has 4x4 MIMO with 4dBi and now you are replacing that with 2x2 with 3dBi.
I have tested a similar external antenna with 2x2 and 9dBi and it was a little worse than if I put the router itself in the same place on the balcony.
Try testing the router yourself in the fresh air.
(where "your" transmitter is, do you know?)
