Wireless Joint

I woke up this morning to the same message on mine. Shows 2 bars. Running some errands this morning and will investigate further when I get home. Hopefully it is because of the heavy cloud cover this morning. My cousin had this issue a week ago and it was because he was not getting a signal. Moved t...

Hello. I have a nighthawk m1 that I have used with same setup. Exact same fittings. Sma female to ts9 male. The issue I had is lmr 400 cable is very stiff and rigid. About impossible to keep fittings in the night hawk m1 when attached directly to the cable. They just pop out over and over. Ended up...

Thank you for the replies.

I have the Netgear Nighthawk M1 hot spot that uses antennas with a TS9 connector. I plan on buying the 698-2700MHz Yagi Radome 9dBi-11dBi 4G LTE Directional Antenna listed on the online store: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/antennas/4g-lte-antennas/yagi/698-2700mhz-yagi-radome-9dbi-11dbi-4g-lte-d...

I ordered a working v2 off of Ebay after watching this video:

Seems straight-forward enough. Haven't pursued it yet. Next full day off I think I'll try to tackle it.

I *think* I understand most of that...lol. In my prior reading of other forums it seems a lot of people ran theirs through a router to push the signal out further. Several people recommended the TP Link Arch C7 version 2. I ordered one a couple of weeks ago. One reason I have pursued that route (asi...

Thank you. It will be next weekend before I get the chance to drive to the tower. Will enabling 5ghz gain any increase in download speed? Should I enable both 2.4 and 5? Only 2.4 is enabled as I was told it was more stable although slower. I ask this based on my current setup. Would the speeds be ab...

I've used cell mapper The two towers it seems to connect to the most is cell 16 and one that is more toward the west (near Macclesfield) that does not show up under AT&T. Both in the 700mhz range along with cell 15. Looks like 22 is the closest one in the higher frequency. https://www.cellmapper...

Thank you so much for all of your help. Which apps do you suggest to try out? Using open signal, when the hot spot is connected to the tower to my west (the arrow is pointing to it) I can click on cell tower info and it maps the tower from my house to the tower (US Cellular. By the way, they are my ...

Just tried it in 5 different locations. One of them was outside on the second story balcony of my sisters house (she lives behind me). Tried between her house and mine, my back yard, front yard and beside the house. Same result with all of them. Band 12. At least I know to use the Eastwood antenna i...

Eastwood setup is getting you a signal strength about twice as good as the M1 external omnis (every 3 dBi is a doubling), but they still aren't getting you more bands. Need to get outside to see if other bands are reachable/available. Under optimal conditions, in the middle of the night, you might ...

Turning off wifi while tethered may affect speed tests, but not affect stats from at!gstatus?. Right now we are just trying to find a location and antenna combo that gives us more bands. I doubt you will get different results between the m1 omnis and the eastwood, but you can try. They both seem to...

Eastwood antenna while running a speed test.

Eastwood antenna connected. This one is without running a speed test.

And checked while running a speed test.

Ok. Netgear antenna connected. Wifi off while tethered check. Let's run it again.

Just read your comment regarding turning off wifi while tethered. Will rerun test. As for high gain antennas, the only higher one is the Eastwood. Will rerun the test with Netgear with wifi turned off. Then switch antennas.

Check while running speed test.

Ok. Redone with Netgear Mimo antenna connected. Showing 3 bars (gets 4 in the window). I know bars mean little relatively speaking and a good connection with 2 bars is better than a bad connection with 4 bars. Just wanted to mention it. First one is without performing speed test. Second one is while...

Connected via USB. I should mention that the antenna was NOT connected for either of these test. I unhooked it to bring the hot spot to the PC. Here is the result while running a speed test.

Got it. Operator error of course.

So you are getting those results on the phone when connected over wifi from the phone to the M1? Yes sir. Just tried using Putty (for the first time. Like I mentioned, I am new at this) to connect via Telnet. Keep getting "Network error. Connection timed out." Tried it with USB connected ...

Hi xdavidx. Thank you for your help. I didn't post the links to the antennas I purchased as I didn't know if it was allowed. Here are the ones I purchased: Netgear= https://www.amazon.com/Netgear-6000450-MIMO-Antenna-Connectors/dp/B00DN3J03O/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=netgear+mimo&qid=1560537508&s=...

I should mention that someone helped my set up my hot spot. Some of the settings were changed. For instance 2.4Ghz only was selected (to take advantage of LAA?). Range is set to Long. I'd have to sign in to the hot spot to see what the other settings are.

New to the forum. Let me say that I am new to this and I'm trying to learn more. My hot spot will NOT be my primary means of internet and therefore I did not want to install out door antennas. Having said that, I would not be opposed having a make shift setup inside that incorporates an outside ante...
