Re: Recommend antenna for AT&T Netgear Nighthawk Hotspot?

How about these? I live out in the woods so I'm not worried about appearances. I actually have an old DirecTV satellite dish mounted to my chimney that I plan to remove and use to mount the mast. I'm thinking of mounting two of them, each pointing at their respective closest towers spaced 3' apart o...

Recommend antenna for AT&T Netgear Nighthawk Hotspot?

I have four towers within a three mile radius all in different directions. Two of the towers broadcast band 14 but I am told that the Nighthawk supports carrier ag...
