Connect 4g LTE Antenna to TP-Link MR600 

Oh my God. This is the exact router I am using and I stumbled on ur video as I was confused about where to plug the antennas into

Nice vid! I just picked up the TP-Link MR-100. I can already feel myself sliding down the rabbit hole. I've managed to find the government GIS that shows me where all the radio infrastructure is in my area. The signal we receive doesn't make sense given the proximity of towers and number of them. So my guess are line of sight problems. Now looking into rigging up an external antenna to try improve reception of the B3 band. Thanks for giving me an idea for what kind of equipment I'll be requiring!

Thank you for the video. Odd results. Make sure there's nothing to shield the antenna like a metal roof or metal elements nearby. In a very remote area with the smaller brother TP-Link MR400 v3 and a similar antenna i managed to improve my connection speed three times, from a maximum of 1 mb/s to 3 mb/s with a much more stable connection.I also noticed the wi-fi coverage was better with this type of external antenna. Cheers!

This will help for our future kids. More vids please. -Team Sweet.

The point of having an extended antenne is for outdoor use. Outside the metal roof on top of house on wall or roof of caravan, other side of brick wall. A tower needs to be in line of sight. The outside antenne needs to be water proof because your router is not.

Thanks, saved me some money.

For reference...what speed test numbers are you getting on your phone at what signal strength/bars...and is it a 4G or 5G device?

I'd suggest the issue is the 5m of cable. That will be quite lossy at those frequencies.

have the same router and the same issue. had befor a small pocket router and at a special spot outside I had like 3-4 mbps. thought a 4g router with antennas would perform better. it hurts when you pay (in greece) 65€/month for unlimited data and at home your speed sucks... so thank you for letting us know that if there is no signal you have to accept it.

Thanks for getting back with part 2. I'd love a part 3 where you try with a Vodafone or EE SIM and maybe a Huawei B818 router instead (btw python libs out there for control and stats). Ps: btw, you most likely have a very good lte device in your pocket, much more capable than the archer, I'd test some sims in it before buying better routers.

Nice video! Wow that was crappy results you got. I have really bad connection in my house with this new ISP. Was thinking about getting a fat antenna but probably won't be better putting it on my desk indoors.

does your router not have setting to use external antenna ?

Thanks you good vedio.. Is this out door antenna use for the 4g signal from tower to router..? Improve..?

I will like to know if QOS works on your router, To limit bandwidth of guest network

Thanks I am considering getting an aerial too... My modem's "rabbit tails" are vertical as suggested in the user manual. Did you measure better signal tilting them like that?

I think you disconnected the WiFi antenas and the actual lte antena pins are inside the Modem

Thanks a lot. In lte outdoors unit there are usually two antennas with 2 cables (Main one and other. can you check div, WiFi or aux). Are they the same plugs? Maybe you have in the router one for lte and the other one for WiFi. So maybe you need only one cable.

I don't understand English very well, tell me if your video means that with the directional antenna the signal would sing better than the two antennas of the router and if it is better to have them both inclined at 45° with the tip together

Mount at a 45 degree angle as you had in the window and it should pick up more

I had success with directional antenna despite the fact there was no direct visibility. Just pointed towards one of the masts. Also, are those antennas also used for wifi?

Is the mr400 model the same with being able to add external antennas? What makes you think that a directional antenna won't work? That is false I do. It will definitely improve your signal strength. Please try it with a long periodic Yagi.

Get a directional antenna, and try to use the least amount of coaxial cable, the shorter, the better.

I suppose that cable is too long and too thin so the attenuation is too big (gain is all lost) and this is because the std antennas work better, peraphs you can get better results with a directional or with a very short cable

I wonder, if those far away from cell towers would benefit from either yagi antanna or panel antanna attached to long pole directed at bunch of far away cell towers ?.

Wow the camera work on this video really tweaked me out but I’m high as hell

Those two antennas you disconnected are the wifi antennas, not the GSM ones. The GSM module is inside and you have two connectors there. You need and adaptor to SMA and then connect your antenna there. That's why you don't get better results.

Thank you for the video. But the "Hare Ears" antennas must be placed vertically. The Mikrotik mANT LTE 5o circular MIMO antenna works better than the "Hare Ears" antennas. Checked with my Mikrotik WiFi Mikrotik Chateau LTE12 modem. I wish you success.

I'm confused. Other videos say the rabbit ears are for projecting the wifi signal around your home. Are they dual purpose ?

No option to change from antenn to extern antenna in software ?

Hi need some help. Have the same router. Do i need to change settings from internal antennas to external antennas when connecting a external antenna? Thanks

So the mr600 isn’t capable of supporting upto 150bmps like it promises? I have an 4g o2 SIM card in there, my average speed is never higher than 12mbps but my signal strength shows 100%. It is frustrating as I’m a gamer. Any solutions?

Can this or the Huawei B818 be used like a normal router in place of a BThub? I want a better router but also with 4g as a backup

Interesting videos, Just for curiosity, the external antennas are both for Wifi and LTE, or are LTE only?

So what is a good antenna to get then to boost signal?

Are you sure that the antennas is for LTE connection instead of WI-FI? Maybe the LTE module it's just a microstrip antenna embedded in your router

If you were to use a directional would it only connect to one terminal ?

Did you change the settings on the router to show you are using an external ariel

Which rabbit ear is for Wi-Fi and which one is for 4g?

With that cable you will actually loose any antenna gains. you need to change the signal cable to LMR 400 at least.

Sir. Very good vedios thank you. Please let me know compatible out door antenna for Tp link - 4G AC1200 router..?

1:45 what about my sitution, where I have only one cable coming from the antenna...should I use the port near the SIM slot?

You need to change to band 3 manually and it will definatly increase

Why you mounted 4G antena to wi-fi soket?

The problem is the cable, those flimsy coax cables the antenna comes with create massive losses in signal strength.

you connected the outdoor antenna to the router wifi spreading antennas,I am afraid if would not work. I think 4G receiver antenna is inside the router.

Why do you power off before you swap the antennas

These antenas are for outdore use, on a wall or rooftop. Testing them indors is pointless. It would be nice to see test where it is at least on a terace or somewhere open.

What version is your router?

omni would be no good in this case, you'd need a directional with a narrow beam width

Antena on the roof.

Can i use that in tp-link mr150?

No puedo quitar las antenas para añadir una direccional ¿este modelo no permite quitar antenaS

Actually there's a setting to enable external antenna in the tether app. Probably that's the reason u aren't getting much different result

This is an external antenna. 5 meters of cable dampens your signal. The antenna is not used to amplify the signal, but to relocate the point of its reception. No wonder there is no significant improvement if it stands in the same position as the router. You should install the antenna in a place where you have the best possible coverage. Then you can place the router within 5 meters. If it is a place that hinders the reception of the WiFi signal, you can buy a second router and transfer the signal with a cable or PowerLine adapters. I live in the countryside where the internet proposed by the suppliers is 4-8Mbps, but I made a home network from a cheap D-Link router (max.150Mbps) and a Huawei E3372 modem glued to the window in the room with double-sided tape, where the transfer reaches 60Mbps and PowerLine transfers the signal to the other part of the house to the second router.

i felt so sad for you watching this

Sir I live in a remote area.. we cannot get any signal using mobile on our village.. but some place we get little signal from jiofi therefor we can online.. You think this tp link with antenna is better than jiofi in our area..and can we have signal in our installation place ??

The cables look really bad, maybe better cables would help

Entenna TV tnt good for 4g routeur

From my experience these antennas are useless.They are only good if you attach them on your roof then comnect your router to it.If you are getting crappie signal without antennas you are not gonna do much better with them.

How to use MR600 to make 4glte phone call？？

dont put the router or the antenas near metal objects,,,the sinal gets bad.

I find it difficult to take technical advice frome someone who talks about rabbit ears. The thing is useless. Tell me where I can find d a good system.

Yeah that antenna is a pile of rubbish.. I tested it a lot. Partly its made poorly, partly because such poor quality cable. Also, that table is standard online guide which is not realistic in practise btw... you get much better performance from the 'bad' snr. Ignore that table

fake antenna or on the sticker "abtenna"

Non sense fellow place that omni directional antenna in the roof so that it can catch the signal. If you keep it beside u how will it catch the signal? Atleast research in RU-vid 😁😄😆

Useless video, this is an OUTSIDE antenna

Just bought a qoltec 57041 4g mimo and i got the same result as you , waste of money
