Hello everyone,

For me it’s only possible outdoors on the roof…

Is there a plan to make the Fastmile 5G26 available?

This one seems to be more suitable for an outdoor installation and has a better antenna.

Although my Zyxel NR 7101 achieves downloads of 700 MB in 5G, my current 5G14 internet booster rarely manages to get a 5G signal and remains well under 100 MB download.

the Nokia 5G26 could be an advantage here.

Best regards,

Hello,

what firmware does your IB3 have?

Yes, it would make sense to be able to switch 5G on and off yourself…

some devices. Such as the Zyxel NR 7101 allows this 😉

and see above in my screenshot from yesterday, the 5G signal is even better than that of 4G, but the performance of the 5G antenna and its bandwidth is significantly smaller.

Thanks @WalterB, but after a month of use, I’m pretty sure he always prefers 5G if available.. regardless of whether 5G is actually slower than LTE..

So one thing would be great… if you could freely choose the band in the IB-5G menu (5G or 4G)..
I don’t have good 5G reception at my location and down here you can clearly see the speed when only 4G is received > 170 Mb download and when 5G is switched on < 100 Mb:

Yes, thanks @WalterB

But I don’t really understand where the IPv6 address suddenly came from.

Now it looks normal again:

Strange indeed, since I obviously didn’t have IPv6 enabled on the IB3.
Restarting the IB3 and then restarting the IB-5G solved everything again.

Hello,

Does anyone know why the IB5G shows such a strange IP address in my IB3 menu?

@Roger G,

I’m sure I won’t get an answer to the question, but it’s worth a try.

is there a hidden menu in Nokia settings?

(I’m trying to find a solution to my problem in post 68)

@Maddy68, @hed is right, the installation location makes a huge difference, for example I have the best reception directly under the roof, which I can easily reach thanks to PoE and my own Ethernet cable..

But I still wonder why the booster is offered at all if you already have DL without 220 Mb…

Yes, but it’s amazing that Dany achieves such good DL values…

@Dani CH

Is the 5G antenna on your roof so that you get the same values ​​everywhere?! 😂

As tested above, if I was free to choose which band I wanted to use, 4G vs 5G, the booster wouldn’t switch on the 5G, which is slower in my location.. 100DL vs. 260 with the 4G…

Interesting..

I received the 5G booster today. 🙂

According to Checker I have this:

Max. 50 Mbit/s download and 28 Mbit/s upload available
Max. 159 Mbit/s download with the Internet Booster 5G

The old booster on the window only gave me a total of 90Mb/50Mb..

Since I was able to install the new one on the house under the roof because the 5G Booster is weatherproof, my speed test even exceeds the checker
Max 260 Mb DL and 62 Mb UL… even though it’s foggy today…

But now the funny thing is… Most of the time the booster can’t receive 5G, which is actually a good thing, so I can achieve the values ​​just mentioned with 4G.

But sometimes it manages to get a 5G signal and since the 5G antennas are far away from me and they are not as strong as the 4G, the speed test only shows around 100 DL and 50 UL…

The 5G Booster seems to prioritize the 5G band.

I think I can clearly see this from the ping values, as I have about 15-20ms with 4G and 7ms with 5G..

In such cases it would actually be better if you could switch 5G on and off yourself in the Nokia settings.

@Roger G Some devices such as the Zyxel NR7101 offer the option to choose the preferred band in the settings (4G/5G), it would be good if Nokia could also offer this.. for people’s use case Like me, they have better 4G at their location, but they need the 5G booster for IP66 because no usable reception can be achieved at the window.

Haven’t tried it yet, but the installation instructions mention Nokia’s wireless app for location tracking:

And as I said, the 5G booster is IP66 protected and with PoE you can certainly try it under the roof or on a better located house wall. PoE has a theoretical range of 100M, so 30 shouldn’t be a problem for example 😉

As far as I understand there is a 14 day return policy

Yes, great.. yesterday I called 0800 555 155 to exchange my 4G booster for the 5G booster, so far so good.. and today I had a…… 4G booster in my mailbox……

Thanks for the tip @5018.. just uploading 02/12/40
