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

We use this on our camper to get reception on our 4g/5g router. It’s made a MASSIVE difference in speed and reliability. Easy to hook up and great value

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?

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.

I bought this antenna to improve reception on my cellular router. Attached to a mast (no included) and extended 18-20 ft I found no noticeable difference in internet connectivity or speed or available band dB than with the paddle antennas mounted directly on the router. I have tried this at several locations and several different towers. Speedtest and dB reading were the same regardless of antenna type.At least for my application this antenna seems to be of no benefit. I will update this review after several more months of testing just to make sure its fair.

Dual leads that are weather tite to the antenna so no extra sealing needed in connectors.

Prior to the installation of the antenna, the signal strength was showing as a fluttering 1 bar. With the antenna, it has risen to a solid 2 bars and 3 when the intervening foliage is dry. The antenna is installed approximately 30' above the ground and has no extension cabling. Overall, with just a few days use, the signal and download speeds seem more consistent and if that continues, then I will be pleased with the product. The one thing that I have noticed that I am not satisfied with is that my upload speed has been diminished. It is still a speed I can live with, but it is something that I will watch closely for change.
