Revainrating 2 out of 5

Reduced speed indeed

We live in an area with very poor cell service where the only other options are 128 Kbps Frontier DSL (advertised as 1 Mbps) and the slow and limited Hughes satellite service (10 Mbps ) are. /s on a Hello with a monthly limit of 20 GB). The Netgear Orbi 4G LTE modem/router does get a usable signal when I place it in the right spot and orientation in the upstairs bedroom window (dΓ©jΓ  vu from Lisa Bundy's viewing positions), but upload speeds are still pretty slow (5-15Mbps ). I installed these antennas hoping the speed would improve. I didn't notice any change in signal strength, but speed tests were consistently 10-30% slower when these external antennas were installed. I think next time I'll try double log-periodic MIMO antennas on the roof. Otherwise, these antennas appear to be of good quality, so they might work for you. Plug for Netgear Orbi 4G LTE - it receives better than our cellular connection. intermittent phones. Starlink can't come soon enough.
