For our full review of this antenna for mobile hotspots:
www.rvmobileinternet.com/netge...
We test a lot of mobile internet gear to find what works best. In this video, we share our review of the Netgear MIMO antenna, which suction cup mounts to an interior window and directly plugs into a mobile hotspot device like a Jetpack or MiFi.
This is a directional antenna with a 40" long cable and TS-9 Adapter - making it very efficient.
In our testing, this can often perform roof mounted antennas and cellular boosters.
For just $27.49, we highly recommend having this antenna as part of your arsenal if you carry MiFis, Jetpacks or other mobile hotspot gear.

This antenna will only work on devices with dual TS-9 antenna ports. Popular mobile hotspot models that include these ports are:
Verizon: 7730L, AC791L, MHS291L, MHS800L
AT&T: Unite Explore and Unite Pro
Sprint: Fuse and Zing

I bought this antenna last year for a trip to Europe and Nepal and it worked great. I'm really happy with the purchase.

@valorv2665 6 лет назад

Thank you for this video. This was exactly what I was looking for. Used your link

@brunoparadigm3741 3 года назад

Awesome video! This helped me setup my mobile hotspot so we can post our RU-vid videos and blog content from a remote location in Brazil.

@ronaldb4885 6 лет назад

Just started using this on my Netgear Nighthawk three days ago. The detected signal strength on my Nighthawk remained the same, 2 of 5 bars which is typical and why be bought this antenna in the first place, but there is a noticeable increase in bandwidth. Page load times are at least slightly (~20%) faster. Streaming video is more consistent/stable and tends to play at a higher resolution than it did just last week. We didn't go from the equivalent of dial-up to T1, but we did go from marginal to very acceptable. You are very correct about this being a Bi-Directional vs. Omni-Directional antenna. Placement is key, as you say. In my experience, it was well worth the $27.50 we paid for it on Amazon.

@TheAlfadork808 6 лет назад

Correct me if I’m wrong. To my understanding the nighthawk being a 4x4 MIMO would need one antenna for each of the 4 frequency ranges?? If that is the case, then having two ports seems weird.

@stevenjones9139 4 года назад

I just bought the Netgear 6000450 MIMI Antenna. I tested it at home an O M G it worked great, I will update you on how it works at our RV Park this weekend.

@adamdean2038 5 лет назад

Finally got mine and I only get less than half of the speeds you showed which is only a couple mb/s higher than not even using it. At least my ping and jitter have improved quite a bit. Thanks for the video!

@BillAnt 4 года назад

Keep in mind that there are many variables when comparing their performance to yours. The main ones are direction (if it's positioned to face the tower perfectly), distance from the antenna, the surface it's attached to (some glass has additives which can filter out radio waves), the equipment's sensitivity it's attached it, etc. So as you can see if ANY one of those variables is not optimal, you won't get the high gains you're expecting. Try to be realistic, radio waves are a funny bunch. ;)

I have a nighthawk M1 and am loving it. I am curious if this antenna will help with picking up a WiFi signal that I can use with the data offloading feature to save on cellular data

I have a Verizon "Ellipsis JetPack MHS815L". It has (I think) two "undocumented" antenna ports - which are called test points. These units should be pretty common as Verizon seems to have great coverage. Any info about this unit and the Netgear MIMO?

Hello! Thanks for all the great ressources!!! I have the new Nighthawk 5G... Just noticed that Netgear introduced a new antenna similar to this one but dedicated to 5G. Unfortunately its not available in North-America... You think this antenna you are presenting will be compatible with the new Nighthawk 5G?? Keep up the awesome job!!!!

I do not have a JetPack or a MiFi but I am looking to boost campground signals when parked at a campsite. Can this do that and, if so, can I attach it to a laptop or smart phone? If it cannot, do you recommend other equipment that can be used to boost public, campground WiFi signals?

@MobileInternetResourceCenter 5 лет назад

This is specifically a cellular antenna. For Wi-Fi, you'd need gear specific for that. Here's our guide: www.rvmobileinternet.com/wifi

@duckthis17 6 лет назад

Hmmm wonder if a ts9 extension cable is available,then I could open window and put it up on the roof of rv for even better reception.

@MobileInternetResourceCenter 6 лет назад

That would add to significant signal loss, and negate the gain.

@duckthis17 6 лет назад

Even if I only extened it say 3-4 ' Thanks for the reply and great vids.

@MobileInternetResourceCenter 6 лет назад

The connectors and extra wire would each add loss. Might be worth trying to see if it gives you want you need.

Are these going to be line of sight or will they act like a booster too? I understand gain and I think you know what I mean. Thanks so much. I am Grateful.

@MobileInternetResourceCenter 7 лет назад

The antenna is directional - you'll want to aim it in the general direction of the tower.

@slimbeaux 7 лет назад

The reason I ask is there is a tower down in the valley down below my place. No cell at my place and just wonder if I pointed it down the hill,...... Guess I will just have to try it and find out. At that price even if it doesn't work I can try it somewhere else. And yes my MHS700L does have ports. Under little tiny rubber plugs. One of which I managed to drop on the floor. Took me 15 minutes to find it.

Why does an AT&T tower (close to me) only have 12m down on data? I am getting 6m down about 5-6 miles away so I took my Netgear MR1100 modem and laptop about 1/2 mile from the tower and only get 12 down there. My T Mobile gets 25-40 about the same distance away and well over 50 up close.

Hi everyone :) I`m planning to buy the NETGEAR Nighthawk M6 (MR6150), 5G Router & I would like to attach the Netgear 6000451 External 5G MIMO SMA/TS9 Antenna to it. Is anyone know are they compatible together? I would like to boost it up to the highest level as much as possible to have strong net everywhere. Greetings from Austria :)

@MobileInternetResourceCenter 2 месяца назад

The Nighthawk M6 has dual TS9 antenna ports. Just keep in mind, internally it has 4 antennas, so two would be cut off when using external antennas with it, which reduces it from 4x4 to 2x2 MIMO.

@yos6473 5 лет назад
