High Gain 10-12dBi Dual SMA Male 698-2700 MHz 3G/4G LTE Omni-Directional Outdoor Pole/Wall Mount Antenna for Mobile Cell Phone Cellular 4G LTE Router Modem Gateway

We live in the most rural of places (Mountain top - 2030 ft above sea level). Have an ATT MF279 for all our Internet connectivity.. Always had four bars and about -89 dBm strength from local towers (1/2 to 3 miles away on ATT bands 2, 12, 66). The MF279 has done a good job for the last few years with no supplemental antenna assistance. I am an engineer so I have some tools available to me others may not know about or have access to. A few weeks ago with our ATT cell phones and MF279, we started connecting to towers we have a line of sight on, but (because we are on a Mtn) 30 miles away.. ATT recognized the issue ...said there was a local cell handoff problem they were addressing (why we aren't connecting local towers we have in the past..).. but after 3 weeks we bought this as a stop-gap due to the issue(s) they are still trying to fix. Very pleased with it, as although I am still hitting towers far away as we speak, speed tests and dBm are greatly improved. Before on a local tower, I'd get 5 to 7 MPs. Now I burst far above that (12 to 20) on both download (most important for a basic user versus a self-hosted eCommerce site which also needs decent upload.) Getting -93-90 dBm ..Can't wait to see what I get when they finally fix the issues =0 Should be -78 to -85 dBm range). Should have probably bought this earlier. It is mounted outdoors, but only window height (Did I mention we are top of a 2k Mtn? ). Bottom line ...well worth the price.

I read a few good reviews and several bad reviews about this LTE outside antenna. I decided to take the chance for two reasons. First, of course the price, second there is no need to worry about pointing this type of antenna as the pointed directional LTE antennas require. I found this works IF you mount the antenna on a pole that breaks the plane of your roof by several feet. It will not work at even plane with your roof. I tried it, and the results were bad. But when I got a 3 ft antenna eve mount, the antenna performed rather well elevated above the top of my metal roof. You cannot beat the price and easy mounting without the need of pointing the antenna to a cell tower. I used this with a 4G LTE router on an ATT network

I bought this initially for a neighbor that was under a metal roof and having trouble getting a signal on his LTE router. It helped him out a ton at the time, but after a few months, he changed internet services and no longer needed the antenna. I bought the antenna back from him to try on my LTE router. My router has indoor paddle antennas (MIMO) and sits about 10' above ground level in a sunroom. Ran this antenna on a pole about 16' above ground level in a test configuration, just to see what an outdoor mount would do. The results are in the pictures. First picture is from my indoor paddle antennas, and the second is from this antenna. These were taken just a few minutes within each other, during the middle of the day with clear skies. It's pretty easy to see that this antenna pulls in an inferior signal with higher noise levels than my paddle antennas. Your mileage may vary, but I'd guess for $40, what should I expect?

1-it's not the best snd it's not that bad ,it will not make you network stronger than you expected , except if you are under a rock it will work for you :)

This boosted my cell coverage from one bar to full bars allowing me to get higher download speeds when I used attached to a cellular router. It came with nice brackets for installation and the fact it has 2 cables is great covering all the spectrum.

These work well

Worked great. Installed on an olded Cuddeback Cell camera. Had very touchy reception before, had to move around every year as the trees grew. Installed on a 10ft pvc pole and connected first time.

I used this for a remote antenna for a laptop cell modem. This did the trick for poor reception even though I didn't get it outside.

Before permanently installing this antenna I fastened it to a long painters pole and ran the cable through a nearby window so I could test the signal. I saw a 7 dB improvement in the signal but it did depend which direction it was turned so I’m not 100% sure that it’s omnidirectional. Still, it consistently improved the upload and download transfer rates by a couple of Mbps so I’ll permanently mount it in the days to come. I’m a good 8 km from the tower and have several tall trees surrounding the house, I have a ZTE MF279t with Rogers.
