A new 5G router ZTC MC888. RouterMods do an SMA mod that allows me to fit an external antenna. Now I have seen a 5G connection go from 40 mbps to nearly 400mbos using an pole mounted antenna now I get a peak of 300 but a sustained around 170 and I can see the mast from my window so clear line of sight will be easy. The mod costs as much as the router and then there is the antenna but if I can get a sustained 400mbps it will be worth the outlay
