Review on πŸ“Ά Enhance 4G Connectivity with Wilson Electronics 4-inch Mini Magnet-Mount Antenna! by Alex Jones

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cell phone reception not changed.

This antenna did not affect the reception quality of the thin and stylish Wilson 4G stand. In fact, the 4G stand didn't improve reception at all. I had the opportunity (and time) to check reception on a long hike up the mountains. After turning the device on and off (with this antenna), disconnecting and reconnecting the antenna, I couldn't tell any difference in speed or reception strength. No change in signal strength or reception speed was detected when using Open Signal. I also checked this behavior in my Android phone's system settings. I've been in different 1x, 3G and 4G zones and haven't noticed any improvement. I also made sure to move the antenna around in different places on the car and when the car was off. I wanted to make sure my hardware wasn't causing any problems. Since there was no difference in reception with or without the antenna connected, I cannot conclude that the device is usable and worth the money. I am a radio amateur and an electrical engineer. Unit was purchased and used with Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9I67Z2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
