Proxicast4G/5G External Magnetic Antenna - 7 dBi Loaded Coil with SMA & TS9 Connectors Compatible with AT&T Nighthawk, Verizon Jetpack, Cradlepoint, Pepwave, MoFi, Digi, Sierra (ANT-124-95G-2PK)

I use these antennas with a Verizon hotspot while livestreaming sports games. I was looking to improve my connection reliability in fringe areas. These improved my connectivity immensely. In one location, I had historically seen 20% packet drops on my stream, but after connecting these (same location), the packet drops went to zero. (This is over a two hour stream each time.). I would highly recommend.

Important note: I use these mounted outside - toThe roof of whatever (always parked) vehicle I am in or carried with me if I am hiking out to a spot to work.Pros: I am often in a remote forest with one bar of LTE on my phone - messages had to be sent as texts, not able to get photos, certainly no able to browse the web. The Verizon MiFi alone was a bit of an improvement, but it was slow & a disappointment. These antenna really made a huge difference for me & made the MiFi a workable solution to being able to work from here - it wasn’t before.I can stream YouTube vids, I’m in that remote locale right now writing this using the Amazon app, I can check email with attachments and download documents from the cloud. I just tried to FaceTime, and it was not a problem, which was a bit of a surprise. Haven’t tried to Zoom, not sure how that would go.Magnets work for me, I don’t keep them installed permanently, I move them around depending on where I am in the forest where I am working, so I haven’t subjected them to staying on under any extreme conditions. I just put them on the roof of the vehicle I am in, don’t have to fuss much to get them to do their thing.Con: the only con for me is the connections to the MiFi ports are not at all secure. They seemed okay at first, but after a month or so, they just fall right out from the slightest movement. It’s a huge PITA, and managing the long cords is also a pain - I also realize that a lot of folks probably set this up and leave it, so my usage might be atypical since I am taking the antenna out a lot. It’s annoying they fall out so easily, but the reception I get is such a huge improvement that I would purchase it again without hesitation.

Bought two pair to use as an external antenna on my T-Mobile G4AR Gateway. Changed gateway settings to "external" antenna and the results were worse than using the stock internal antenna. Yes, I spaced the antennas two feet apart and tried multiple configurations, same result.

Used with a Mifi 8800L Jetpack. in a rural environment. Usually obtained 1 to 2 bars. Antenna installation now provides 3 bars most of the time.

Worked well enough to improve signal. Not completely a game changer, but noticeable improvement on mofi 4500 and subsequently net gear nighthawk. The magnets are solid not super strong but they'll stay put in most situations.

I bought these antennas because I have a Netgear LM1200 inside my network cabinet. The built in antenna does not work that great when it's inside the metal cabinet. I bought these antennas and added it on top of the cabinet so that it can get a better signal outside of the cabinet. The included cables are really long but are were great in my case since I used about 6-7feet of it running it from on top of the cabinet through the bottom opening. I am able to get about 90/90mbps full bars LTE with these antennas which is not bad considering the cabinet is inside my garage and not in a wide open area.

I compared signal bars and speed tests with and without the antennas installed.There was no performance gain with the Proxicast Antennas on two different cell towers in my area.These Proxicast Antennas didn't work as expected and were returned.Take these findings with a grain of salt, because the NETGEAR LB1120 might not be a device that works well with this type of dual antenna array.I don't own any other devices that might work okay with these Proxicast antennas. Due to the TS9 type connectors, I was unable to test the SWR of these antennas on my NanoVNA.

So this is not a booster. It does not clean up your cellular signal, that is a different device. What these antennas do is help bring in the cellular signal to your mifi device if you are in a remote area. It can make the difference between having a signal or not. We travel in an RV and often camp in remote areas. These attach magnetically. Since the outside of our RV is not metal, we glued little metal pads to our roof to stick the antennas to. We ran the cords under the seal around one of our windows. The magnets are strong. They have not slipped or blown off during storms. I take them down while traveling. They attach to your mifi device via two TS9 connectors that fit nicely, not too loose but tight enough to stay connected. Before ordering make sure your mifi device has antenna ports since not all do. Your ports might be covered with small rubber plugs, they are easy to overlook. These are a great deal for the price and benefit as long as you understand that this is an antenna, not a booster. For the best signal, you could get both an antenna AND a booster.
