2x2 Panel Blaster Insane Results
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2023 1:19 am
Man I've been on a journey finding the right antenna solution. I researched everywhere, asked tons of questions, and inevitably was directed to Wireless Haven. I was really having a hard time deciding between the 4x4 MIMO Signal Brick omni-directional, and the 2x2 MIMO Panel Blaster. I think we're all lead to believe that price is always related to results. The 4x4 Brick was over $200, but the 2x2 Panel was less than $100. I reached out to Richard at Wireless Haven describing my situation, and he ended up saying I could do really well with the LESS EXPENSIVE OPTION.
What I learned is if you really want to make use of the 4x4 Brick, you better be ready to pay more in cables than the antenna. I ended up spending about $100 on LMR-400 cables and settled on the 2x2 Flat Panel Blaster (for $80) - and holy shit does this thing work.
I already had a cellular booster, the Amazboost from Amazon, and this thing DOUBLED my mbps of the other booster for about the same cost. I haven't even compared the results to no booster at all, but it's got to be over 150-200% gains. I think I spent about $180 on this Amazboost booster last year. Damn I wish I knew about Wireless Haven.
Just check out these before and after tests. I've been tracking for a while.
12/12/23 on the Amazboost setup 84.7 MBPS download average in 3 tests.
12/23/23 on this 2x2 panel blaster and LMR-400 cables...216 MBPS download average in 3 tests.
100% increase in MBPS. WILD. The upload speed is noticeably lower in the picture, but it's been averaging about 4-5 MBPS when I lock on 5g signal, and close to 30 MBPS if I lock on B2, B4, or B66. I don't do much in the way of uploads, so not a huge concern for me.
It just goes to show - SHOP Wireless Haven, ask them questions. They will try to save you money AND give the best solution. There's no other place out there doing this.
