Hello @Peter_in_DE,

I searched in our database for an answer to your question, but it's not mentioned what the carrier aggregation capabilities of the device are.

So I'll have to ask our colleagues in the backoffice.

I'm coming back to you here as soon as I have an answer.

Best regards Inga Kristina

Hi @Inga Kristina J. 

Thank you for checking it. I played with the Telekom SIM in my own device and I see the all the bands  only with the following APN 's "hybrid.telekom" or "hybrid.telekom" but none of them gave me IP address and checking with all known Telekom APN 's not even let me on the network. Is there any APN " href="https://telekomhilft.telekom.de/t5/Glossar/ APN /ta-p/4400139#glossar" target="_blank"> APN which can be used with the Hybrid SIM card with my own device if the 5G /ta-p/4398077#glossar" target="_blank"> 5G  Receiver is limited to use only 2 band? As the the DSL line speed in only enough for the phone lines I'm not really interested in aggregated speed between DSL network and the mobile network.

Thanks, 

Peter

Hi @Inga Kristina J. 

Thanks for coming back to me. Can you help me where should I see the extra aggregation? As the nerby towers has B3(1), B3(2), B8, B20, n1, N28 so it should able to pickup the exta bands at least from one direction. But it's not visible on that page only 2CA and the performance feels like a 2CA and checking other Telekom SIM in other devices even a phone can do more CA. At this point I can only say If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Regards,

Peter

Hi @Peter_in_DE,

it might be visible in the logfiles (settings - system-information).

But I must admit that I don't know this for sure. It's not possible for me to test it. 

Kind regards Inga Kristina

Hi @Inga Kristina J. 

Could you check this with the back office? I spent some time before I posted my question and I wasn't able to see even when I connected to the extension directly, but that's not giving out much informtion too only some infrom about the modem itself. And I still beleive the Telekom modification not allowing to connect more band. Please note I'm well aware of the modem real capabilities and the "extension" is actually modified Nokia CPE.  Also I can't see it in the log as well and I rellay want to use the full capabilities of the device.

Regards,
Peter

Hi @Inga Kristina J. 

Any chance you can check it? Or where can I ask it officailly where to see the carrier aggregation data?

Peter

Hi @Christian Ha. 

Thank you! When I disconnect the DSL line the cellular still working and showing connected 1 x 4G and 1 x 5G band. The contract is not under my name I just try to help out for the family to get a stable intrnet connection. I know where are the towers and what band they have and the signal strength for this house  from all provider as I'm looking for alternatives as well. So I done testing for those as well in peak and off-peak times as wel. I'm I right when I say on the hybrid setup the cellular data is not speed limited right?Telekom looks okay with a proper equipment but if this " 5G Extension" not able to aggregate more band this rubbish Hybrid needs to go and only unlimited sim needed and will sort out the rest. But I'm surprised how complicated to get verification about this 5G device with a Telekom firmware support multiple carrier aggregation as this is basically the most important thing if we talk about the maximum reachable speed if not counting the 90MHz n78 band what Telekom has but that is only availalbel in citites and wide enough alone for proper speed.

Peter

Both antenna look to the same direction and there is 2 minutes difference between the spedtest but I testing 5-6Mbps speed in the last 1-2 hour also I agree I using a better device than the " 5G extension"

 I understand you says it support 4 CA actually it should 5 CA on LTE only mode for some specific bands, but everything what I see is proving the oposite

I had a chance to work on this again so the outcome was to open up the device and put it into a Poynting EPNT-2 and use the proper directional antenna as the original built in antenna is a bad joke as they are tiny omni directional antennas it's only good in urban areas as useless in rural area. With this setup it has acceptable speed but not as good as the Mikrotik ATL where can do cell tower and band locking properly. Interesting to see there is a single wifi antenna which I was able to turn on but as only 1 antenna  not much use for it but not sure why there is a GPS antenna as well and a running location service on the device... Once the contract end this will be bind and going to different provider what Telekom doing is too nasty an they gave middle finger for the users with their setup...
