Router lying much faster than normal standing?

Yesterday I came across by accident that my LTE router Huawei B535 lying, so as if it had fallen over to the front, much faster, so even constant 2-3 times faster. Normally, I always had him standing, just as it is supposed to, as he is on every picture on it.

Does that make any sense? Is it maybe built so that it actually works best when it hangs horizontally on the ceiling and vertically can't really be so powerful?

Right now it's just as if it had fallen over on my desk instead of standing upright as it should, so I have a lot of faster internet, and I can reproduce that anytime, so it has not been a one-time accidental thing.

Does anyone know here?

The reception is just better.

That may be.

Maybe the antennas are better placed and the router can be cooled better.

This is called polarization (horizontal, vertical), ie the position of the antennas in the LTE router.

As with the FM radio, also has a rod antenna, as the reception by aligning is also better.

The router has rod antennas (internal, or even connected externally), if they are unfavorably aligned in polarization, so you have very poor reception and thus poor data rates.

Turning / tilting / lying down 90 degrees makes a difference. Find the perfect location relative to the nearest cell phone and your data rate will be better. With external better antennas (e.g., gains> 5dBi) it will get even better.

Here you can read it also understandable:

PS:

This also applies to WLAN antennas, which can also be perfectly aligned. Optimal is often, a V-shaped orientation (if you have 2 antennas), that provides as a compromise all polarizations, so all directions (vertical and horizontal) relatively well.
