A question about LTE-CA for the experts here. From what I know CA is like a dual band wifi kinda connection, where it locks to 2 different frequency ( 1800 + 2600 ) in our case, and utilize the bandwidth for both bands.
Right now I can get a pretty consistent ~15mbps on 1800, but 2600 is probably giving me ~5-8mbps only.
My question is that if I get a LTE-CA compatible modem, would the speec be ~15 + 5 or so, so my average speed would be around 20-23mbps, or would be it lower or higher due to the split traffic? Just curious if spending the extra RM400 to 600+ to get a LTE-CA router would be worth it

perhaps different part of the house? I found a funny situation when testing on my gf house last night.

All this while the best result yield was ~12mbps or so, there was once that I managed to get 20+mbps speed, and after that i never got that speed anymore and I ignored that. Odd enough, if i put it indoor at a lower position, but further from balcony glass door, the speed can go up to 16mbps. Last night i gave the modem another house tour, and just when I was about to give up, I just face the modem downwards facing the floor for the lulz, and surprisingly i got max speed of what my modem is capable of( well, somewhat ), at around 22mbps -25mbps sweat.gif

So moral of the story is that for high rise building, your management might have installed a few repeater, and i suspect mine is such case, and the repeated is located some floors below my gf's unit, and facing down surprisingly gives me ~20mbps most of the time, and 15mbps at peak hours.

sigh.. speed is very inconsistent in Sunway area, near medical center part. Speed test when I plug into my PC i can get 18mbps at times, and consistently, but once i plug into my router, not sure why, it seem to always lock onto a different 1800hz tower and only get 8mbps at most, and even that, the line is unstable and not even facebook video can buffer properly.
Switching to 2600hz now and the stability is better, at least can stream youtube etc, but speed nearing 6-7mbps at best
thinking to get a external antenna to boost the gain now. Maybe the area is just too congested that I cant get high speed. Is there any other advice on locking to a specific tower?

Note that it says LTE Cat-6, and on the LTE it also says it supports 2CA, that means it will be supporting 4G+.
