Review on 📶 Enhance Signal Strength with Netgear 6000450 MIMO Antenna: 2 TS-9 Connectors by Maurice Jimenez

I bought a Netgear 6000450 antenna to use with my Netgear Nighthawk LTE hotspot router. I am currently getting an average of 3 bands of signal around my house on this Nighthawk router and bought this antenna to hopefully "boost" the cell tower signal to 4 or 5 bands. This Netgear antenna has two T-9 connectors spaced nearly 20 inches from the antenna itself. It also comes with 2 suction cups and clips to attach this antenna to a window or other non-porous material. It also has two keyholes. (seen in the photo, one on each side) which allows you to permanently mount the antenna on the wall. plugged the T-9 connectors into my Nighthawk router and saw no difference in signal strength (3 bars). I then unplugged the T-9 plugs from my Nighthawk, powered off the Nighthawk, plugged in the T-9 plugs (rebooted the router), then powered on the Nighthawk router, but still no difference in signal strength I got then put the Nighthawk router out the window, left only the Netgear antenna in the window still connected to the Nighthawk and saw no difference in signal (3 lanes). I unplugged the Netgear antenna and left the Nighthawk router behind an interior wall (out the window) using only the internal antenna and noticed a 1 band drop in signal strength. I then plugged the Netgear antenna (still in the window) into the Nighthawk router, saw 3 signal bars, then moved the Netgear antenna behind the same wall as my Nighthawk router and saw a decrease of 1 signal bar (same as the Nighthawk signal router ). . Reception). From what I saw during this unscientific test, the Netgear antenna does not "amplify" the signal from the cell tower to your device (i.e. my router). If your device is in an area of your home or on a table that doesn't receive a good signal, this antenna may receive a better signal than where your device is located (about 20 inches with T-9 connectors). ). But if you could place your device in the exact same spot and angle as this antenna, you would probably get the same signal strength. In other words, this antenna allows your device to receive a cellular signal at the same strength as your device. it would be if it was in the same place with a high quality internal antenna. If the antenna in your device (router/access point/aircard) was not manufactured or designed with a high quality internal antenna, then yes, this antenna can help you To get a better cellular signal In my case, the antenna in my Nighthawk Hotspot router seemed to be just as good at receiving a cellular signal as this Netgear antenna, so I don't think I noticed any improvement in signal strength when I used the Netgear antenna instead of the Nighthawk. internal antenna. Devices in close proximity to each other gave me the same signal strength under the same conditions. I was hoping for the "electronic pulse" signal strength I got from the cell tower when I bought this unit, but it didn't happen. I found that I have two antennas that are similar in terms of reception quality and design (when receiving cell tower signals: 4G) that give me the same basic results.
