Hey guys just keep in mind that the G5TS external antennas only support the higher TDD bands. In this case if you are using Telkom external band support would only be band 40 & N78.
I'm assuming Telkom is running most sites on NSA so you will need to make sure you are at least getting somewhat...
Hey Jake moved to Telkom LTE. Running the connection via an Xpol-6. If you can get the antenna alignment correct band 40+40 and band 3+40 works like a dream.
Band 40+40 dl 125-150 mbps up 8mbps
Band 3+40 dl 100-125mbps up 22-25mbps
My breakout connection is also in the same town so latency...
Grab yourself a poynting xpol 6 second hand outdoor antenna for around R600.
Zone in on your Telkom cell tower, does take abit of tinkering.
Band 40+40 (40mhz) with decent RSRP will give you between 120-150mbps Down 8mbps UP
Band 3+40 will give you 100-120 mbps down and 22-25 mbps up...

It's been freezing cold as of late and still hits over 70.C. No wonder they have a temperature toggle setting. This router might just burn your house down. 🤣
I literally just did a speed test on my Iphone 12 with a Vodacom Sim. Iphone 12 is honestly nothing special. First iteration Iphone with 5G on it.
Pings straight to Cape Town with 20ms latency. Download speeds over 600 mbps.
All this on 3 bars.
I'm cancelling next month. I simply will lose my sanity if I'm told to reboot or send more screenshots of CMD trace routes and ping tests. At this point half my desktop is screenshots of that. This product is terrible and I shall never use this ISP again.
Anyone thinking of getting this, use a...
