Proxicast4G / LTE / 5G Cross-Polarized (MIMO) 7-10 dBi High-Gain Fixed-Mount Outdoor Directional Panel Antenna (ANT-129-001)

Bought it for sim router hotspot,Installed on the roof and compared to the indoor router with stock antennas it increased the internet speed up to 3 times! I had like 2mb/s data and when connected to this antenna I got 7.8mb/s pretty happy with it,I hope this thing lasts long so I can enjoy good internet!(I think you should have at least some kind of weak signal in your area in order to use this,if there is no any signal coming maybe nothing will help at all, so consider this)

I highly recommend this antenna, as it does a measurably good job in improving the signal strength for a cell modem, I have tried several other antennas for my ZTE MF279 modem over the last couple of years to improve Telus SmartHub performance. It’s a challenge, since I live in a weak-signal rural area with a high-power main transmission line crossing my field diagonally to the direction of the nearest cell tower (5 kms away). In the past year, internet service interruptions were occurring several times a day and download speeds were dropping to 7 to 10 Mbps when connected.I generally get 1 to 2 bars on my cell phone, with an indoor signal strength of -115 to -122db, and this Proxicast antenna usually boosts this to -103 to -110db, as measured in the ZTE modem’s software. I have the antenna sitting on a windowsill pointed straight to the tower, with a slight inclination to compensate for the change in elevation to the tower. Note that it is a directional antenna, and I see the signal strength reacting to slight changes in where the antenna is pointing. Download speeds measured by SpeedTest.net run between 15 to 29 Mbps, depending on the weather conditions.As an experiment I took the antenna, along with the ZTE modem (which has battery backup) and a tablet, outside to see what difference it would make to reception. By walking around, I was able to find a sweet spot where the ZTE registered -93db ,for a gain of over 10db compared to what my cell phone showed on its signal test in the same spot at that time.My takeaway from a couple of months with this antenna is that it does provide a noticeable bump in signal strength. And, more importantly to me, it has significantly reduced the number of times I lose an Internet connection. Better results would probably come from taking the time to mount it permanently outdoors, but a big improvement came just from putting it in a conveniently sited window. Just be warned that this is a not a miracle worker, and in weak signal areas such as mine you can only expect so much. That said, it has made a vast difference over the previous frequent loss of Internet connections and has boosted the general download speeds appreciably as well.

I am using the antenna to bring LTE cellular signal to a Cisco router.

This antenna is fantastic!! I'm using this antenna for cellular internet connection in a rural area.I went from an unstable connection that had a bandwidth of about 3ish down and 1ish up. The antenna increases it to 20ish down and 9ish up. There was some trial and error involved in the set up because of my surroundings and local towers. However, the setup instructions were great they gave links to apps that help locate the best tower to aim at. The companies customer service is the best. I had questions about the type of wire and the best way to accomplish what I was trying to do and they spent the time needed to help me understand how to do it.MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure your wiring from the antenna to your modem is the correct wire correct length and correct gauge. This will make your project work at peak performance. I know this because I tried to skimp on the wire and purchased some cheaper narrower gauge wire. It was longer than I needed and I had to use adapters to connect it to the antenna. This created sever degradation in signal. Spend the money and do it right. You will be happier in the end.

I'm almost 4 miles away from closest tower and this antenna boost my speed significantly.Highly recommend
