Has anyone managed to get any of the LTE6/CAT6 Mikrotik routers working on B8 (900MHz)? I have an LTE6 dish to try out but doesn't do B28 (700Mhz) and all the towers I want to try it in this remote location only have B28 (Optus and Telstra). The Chateau of course does B28 just fine, but it's not in a dish. :) There is one tower in the region with B8 proposed but not yet operational according to RFNSA's site. The LTE6 stuff is a bit strange, they support B17 which is 700MHz (and not used in Australia) as well but can't seem to do B28. I did try the Chateau in another remote location connected to a dual-cable directional roof antenna set up for a Telstra B618 and it Speedtested a stonking 129Mbit at 18km range. It used B3 (20MHz) with CA of B3 (10MHz) and B7 (20MHz) on Optus. Telstra only worked on B28 with 32Mbit tests which is a bit faster than the B618.

Hi, I did look at it, but in addition to the lte6 not supporting B28, from memory the gain of the dish at 700MHz is less than 0db. The RFI LTE-XPol-002-5g (And its Poynting twin) Antenna seems good, but pricey. And you then have to find something to plug into it.
