Hello,
After realizing I have a T-Mobile LTE signal in the rural area I live, I've decided I want to switch from my crappy satellite internet to a supposedly much better LTE solution. Originally, I planned on purchasing a MoFi4500, but after doing research on this very forum, I now want to build my own router/modem because of price and effectiveness. Before I purchase the equipment, I was wonder if you guys have any additional information I could use so I don't make a mistake.
Build - NEXQ6GO-U Cellular WiFi Router / Quectel EP06-A CAT6 MINI PCI-E Modem / 12V 4.0A 48W Power Adapter with 2.1mm
Regarding Antenna - I want to use two of the directional Yagi Radome available on The Wireless Haven, but I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of cables/adapters I'll need.
Anything I'm missing? Additional parts?
Anything I need to know?

Re: Anything I need to know?
Hey there, welcome to the forum!
If you will be using the wifi in any capacity, I recommend the NEXR5GO router instead.

Otherwise you seem to have all you need there.
For cables you just need N Male connectors on one end and SMA or SMA Right Angle on the other end. Like this:

The above is a duplex, Double, cable and so you will only need one cable.
If you need more than 20 foot, I recommend LMR400. Like so:

These are single cables and so you will need two cables.
If you have a good clear line of sight to your tower those LPDA antennas (Directional yagi radome) are great, and low cost. If you have trees in the way, I would go with a flat panel directional. These are awesome, and is two antennas in one unit (2x2 MIMO):
