Thank you for this video. I became aware of this device looking for a backup for Starlink to handle the short outages I'm experiencing. My setup is residential. I'm barely in 5G range, and the router needs to be on the first floor, so technically in the ground with even poorer cell reception. Can you recommend an external antenna to use with this unit? Thanks again!
The most powerful antenna for bad coverage areas in my opinion is the Maritime. 40g I know it sounds crazy, but it's built for boats and is incredibly powerful. You could use extension cables to get the antenna out of your building. It's pretty pricey but it is by far the best antenna. The other option would be the mobility 42g which I recommend over the mobility. 40g if you're in a bad coverage area, it's much less than Maritime. 40g but it depends on your coverage area and if you can get these antennas outside and mounted to your the wall of your building. The other option would be a directional antenna aiming towards a cell tower like the iot 20g and there are other brands that make really good directional antennas.
What an awesome machine, thinking about upgrading my old peplink to this. Thank You If I hook a 2x2 mimo omni and a 2x2 directional would it combine to them to get the best upload and download speeds? Or would that only work with a 4x4 antenna?
@@_cashflo_empire2523 Mobile but not in motion the campground we take our 5th wheel to has bas reception. If we use our omni we get great upload but horrendous download. If we hook up our poynting directional and point at any one of the towers we get good download but really bad upload
No, you would not want to mix directional and omnidirectional on a 4x4 mimo connection. You would want all of them to be directional or all of them to be omnidirectional.
Hi, Can the Peplink B One 5G be set to bridge mode to use it solely as a modem and connect a separate router? If so, what is this feature called at Peplink? Best regards!
