NOTE: If you have more than 2 bars of reception, using an external antenna
might decrease your reception due to interference.
NETGEAR mobile hotspots and fixed wireless devices are all equipped with two TS-9
connectors for use with external antennas. The NETGEAR Omnidirectional MIMO Antenna
comes with two SMA to TS-9 adapters so that it can work with devices that have either
SMA or TS-9 connectors.
1. SMA to TS-9 adapters
2. SMA connectors
CAUTION: Be gentle when plugging and unplugging the TS-9 connectors from
your device because they can be delicate.
Tips on improving your reception with an external antenna:
• The positioning and aiming of your antenna can have a large impact on its
performance.
• Aim your antenna towards your closest cell tower. Contact your carrier for information
on where your closest cell tower is located.
• Finding the best location for your antenna might require some trial and error. Move
it around your space while monitoring the reception on your device to find the best
location.
