"Wilson Electronics 4G Omni Plus Building Antenna 700-2700 MHz, 75 Ohm (304423)"

I suspect other bad reviews on this device may have poor installation, you need to do your research and know what you are doing for a successful building-based cellular Internet service.That being said -No, this isn't the same thing as a "repeater", this is for an endpoint, you need to connect this to a cellular router.1.) use your smart phone (with the same carrier) and download a cellular antenna / signal app to get an inkling of where your nearest antennas are. Note, the closest one may not be the best (if there is a concrete high-rise between you for example).2.) Make sure you impedance match the antenna and cabling to the device you are using. This is a 50 ohm device, you will need 50 ohm coax, and a 50 ohm interface on your device. If other, buy something else.3.) Make sure you know which interface to connect to on the device.. My MOFI4500 has two ports for cellular antennas, it came with a couple of $2.00 Chinese paddle things connected. One of them is the primary, one is the secondary, they are not "load balanced" or whatever you may have in your head. If not marked on the device, look on the manufacturer's website for a schematic or search their technical support forums (or email them).4.) I saw some garbage comments about obsession with U-bolts. Buy the installation kit. It comes with those, it's an extra $15, you get a nice aluminum mounting pole, the right hardware, and the right ubolt. Having a single ubolt isn't a problem if you follow the directions and use the backing plate correctly. If days of your time is less valuable than just spending $15 on the right parts, so be it, but don't gripe about the device when not using the right parts.5.) Use the correct lossless cable, people seem to have problems going more than 5 or 10 feet - great, if you are sticking it next to your window and mounting it on the rain gutter. Whatever. Most of us have more complex installations, I had no problem installing 2 antennas with 2 lengths of 49.2 foot low-loss 50 ohm coax with pre-installed N adapter (about $20 on Amazon each).6.) Don't yank on that cheap coax, that isn't mil-spec, it's made-in-China. Carefully pull it through the nooks and crannies, carefully tape up the end and use a wire-feeder rod, don't just shove it through the drill hole and don't yank it through to show off your manly strength by "clearing" the coils with brute strength. Get your butt off the ladder, walk over, clear the snags, pull it through smoothly.7.) Once installed, I used my smart phone connected to the interior Wifi and monitored the signal status on the MOFI. I moved this about 5 degrees each time, and basically went in a 360 degree circle and marked the points where the signal was the strongest, and kept notes of my findings. Of the best signals, I did some speed testing and picked the most stable one for up & download, then locked down all the hardware. If this doesn't take you about an hour, you are probably doing it wrong. Don't assume the pointy-end of this device is the best for lobing and signal gathering, while that is the case in theory, I had much better real-world performance about 15 degrees off-target, probably because the right direction is pointed straight at the neighbor's house, and I cant' do anything about that.8.) Make sure you are subscribing to the best carrier in your area, generally AT&T is a little better in rural areas like where I live, but we are a thoroughfare for two population centers and during commute hours the AT&T network is saturated. LTE is extremely sensitive to network congestion, so even if your signal strength is good, performance will suffer with a lot of users. In my case, AT&T = about 7 mbps, best case, I switched to Sprint and hit 80 mpbs off-peak performance and it's never under 15 (up and down). Your results will vary, not every tower has every carrier - in fact, most of them don't. Your smart phone app above will tell you that.9.) Once you lock your target, assuming you have gone this far, you are not using the NETGEAR or Linksys cellular router either. My MOFI 4500 allows me to view and test all carriers available, and individually test each frequency band on each one. In my case, even though "Sprint High Speed" was available, it's performance was pretty bad. I have the best and most stable connection on Band 26, 700 mhz. Kind of a bummer, as my iPad Pro with a Sprint chip hits 80-125 mbps all day long.. but that's also a $1400 device, not a $49 flag antenna. It is what it is.10.) Select the best option with various compromises for bandlock, and lock the channel. If you can aggregate carrier channels, all the better, my MOFI supports that, but it doesn't appear as though the local towers do from my testing, or my firmware on the router isn't ideal. Difficult to tell, but it didn't work in my case.11.) Repeat for antenna #2. For the second antenna, I chose to use a Wilson pole-style one with radial arms on it and did a simple mounting at the end of the garage eave so that it was far away from the primary. The router won't rely on it, and to be honest, I saw no difference in performance adding the second, but it does smooth out the intermittent signal loss from rain, storms, etc. Using the omni-directional one, it's a plain plastic white and blends in with the architecture versus another flag that would stick out like a sore thumb at the front of the house.The negatives...I get decent performance, but the mounting hardware itself could be better designed. I realize it's for adaptability, but selling a few options for vertical versus horizontal flat surfaces, etc., would take out the reliance on nuts & bolts (which will ultimately loosen). That being said, if you follow the directions, it's generally fine.

We have used several of these on some commercial applications. in every case the antenna tested out perfectly. the included hardware is top notch with captured lock washers and stainless hardware. it's clear they took the extra time with the hardware the angle piece has formed gussets in it making it very strong. They have put attention to detail in every area.

I live where there is poor WiFi and this antenna boosted the signal many times over. Simple to set up and easy to adjust.

I live pretty rural. I added the wide directional 75 Ohm wifi antenna to my AT&T hotspot. Pointed directly to the tower 3 mi. away. 9.5 MB/s from 2.5 MB/s. I was having problems with staying connected to a server I was working on. My ping would be 45 ms, but would spike to over 400 ms. No more. Added the stability, and no more intermittent signaling. I had a heck of a time finding the proper cable attachment to hook it up. I finally used these 2 items to hook it up:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J62BQRL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071RTKGYN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Worked perfect. I do not know much technical info on coaxial cable. After reading up on the difference between F and N type ends, it helped.

So we live out in the middle of the country with garbage internet. Our phone service with ATT is pretty decent and we get two bars around our house and on our land for the most part. We decided to get a hotspot SIM card from ATT for our WiFi since it was the smartest option. The pics I uploaded are before/after speedtests of with/without the antenna. This effectively quadrupled our download speed when aimed right and mounted. Pretty impressed but I do wish I had my old speed of 80mbps in town with Armstrong... This system does work and it's the cheapest I've come across for the amount of speed increase you do get though, just can't watch 4K videos yet until I get more boost out of it. The only pain is you have ito source your own chords which I didn't know about until the antenna arrived

I could not get single in a remote location for my cell trip hog gate trap. I found the locations of surrounding towers and to my surprise it wasn't the tower closest that worked. Pointed it towards the correct tower and now it trips the gate every time I call vs. not working at all. Very happy with this buy. The same antenna sold on the website that I bought my cell trip for the gate was twice as much.

This was for my parents. They live in the middle of the boonies in Quebec, Canada. After years of not being able to get any decent service, I got fed up for them and when I learned there was a 50 gb package for a "ahem-reasonable" price with Rogers, I pulled the trigger on a MOFI-4500 SIM7 (which I recommend highly) and a pair of these antennas, which I aimed at the nearest Rogers cell tower. Luckily for me, the tower happened to be about 3 km away, but masked by deep foliage and bumpy terrain, but in the end, the difference is night and day. We went from 3 mbps down / 0.5 mbps up (on a good day) to 70 down / 40 up. It's comparable (in speed) to my urban package, I only wish they had unlimited data...

I bought this to use in my motorhome to improve my internet connection and reliability for video streaming. I am using this with a 15 dB amplifier (booster). The antenna does provide gain over the hotspot devices stock antenna and is directional. I can use the hotspot firmware signal strength reading while turning the unit with the RVs antenna rotator. The included clamps had enough adjustability to clamp easily to the small crank up mast on the top of my motorhome. In a test I did pointing to a tower about 6 km away, my signal strength went from a nominal 101 dBi to a nominal 95 dBi, so clearly improving the signal strength when pointed properly. There was also a noticeable improvement in connection speed, though I would have to say that there was more improvement in upload speed in this test. Overall I would say that this antenna delivers on its performance specs. As an FYI, when this antenna was then coupled to a booster, I managed a signal strength of about 85 dBi, further improving my internet connection performance. This is a good antenna and I would recommend it to those needing some signal enhancement for 4G LTE.

Bought this antenna to beef up the signal to my Netgear LB1120 simcard router.I live right at the base of a mountain, and my LTE tower is at the peak, so the signal passes right over me. That coupled with a metal roof left me with 3 bars when I put my router in the window.I slapped this Wilson antenna on the end of a long gas pipe I found laying around at work and used RG11 cable (thicker version of the common coax you see around the house). This allows it to carry higher frequencies with a little less loss. I joined it and tightened with wrenches at the antenna, used bi-seal/amalgum tape and then electrical tape to seal up the splice point. Then I pointed it antenna directly at the LTE tower. (The "Opensignal" app for Android is great at showing you where your tower is on a map.)I ran the RG11 inside under the eaves, through the attic and fished it down the wall. From there it splices again onto RG6, then an SMA adapter to TS9.When I plugged it in I went from:Went from RSRP -109 + RSRQ -14 to RSRP -103 + RSRQ -8, from 3 bars to 4 on the router, and from 3mbps to 15mbps. Pretty decent for one single antenna! It would be even better with a MIMO setup (2 antennas perpendicular to each other and 2 separate cable runs to the router.I also went with this one in particular because it uses 75ohm. (which is what common household coax uses). 50ohm will travel longer distances, but if your wiring is within 100' then loss is not a big deal.Super happy with my new Wilson Antenna!

***update, ordered second one.***** changed my booster from barely signal to 3-4 bars no dropped calls. Hands down best antenna for upgrading your outdoor one. I have stealth z-1 booster with the little non directional antenna. If I actually got a call it would drop. Useless for 2 years. SO I figured I would try this. Please note I had to cut cable and install rg6 connector to the stealth rg6 cable. (It is factory bonded to antenna). One I did that and roughly pointed to my tower 14-15kms away. I’ve talked on my cell phone, crackle and break up free...not dropped calls, LTE I can actually use data I pay for now. SUPER HAPPY another one on the way for my 15yr old Wilson dual band. Will update if it boosts that. It’s already bulletproof.

J'ai installé cette antenne sur un tuyau de 10 pi fixé à un poteau de garde-corps de mon balcon, au dessus de la ligne du toit de tôle de la maison. J'ai relié l'antenne avec un câble LMR-400 de 50 pi jusqu'à l'amplificateur de signal cellulaire 3G-4G-LTE qui diffuse le signal dans toute la maison par un panneau d'antenne qui diffuse pratiquement sur 180 degrés. Auparavant, au sous-sol, la réception était très faible ( -124 dBm typiquement, une barre/5). Maintenant, j'obtiens -93dBm 5/5), le signal ne coupe plus et la vitesse internet en LTE est trois ou quatre fois plus rapide qu'avant. J'ai remplacé l'antenne Yagi qui venait avec le kit car elle me limitait à seulement à un site 3G et un site 4G. Maintenant, j'ai accès trois fois plus de sites, ce qui garantit un accès très rapide au réseau. J'habite en pleine forêt aux pied des Laurentides. La clef du succès pour moi c'est le câble LMR-400 à très faible perte qui assure une séparation idéale entre les antennes extérieures et intérieures et l'antenne Wilson 4G omni qui fait aussi bien, sinon mieux que la Yagi, sans la corvée de devoir diriger l'antenne pour obtenir la meilleure réception. Avec cette antenne, sans le câble LMR-400, j'avais déjà 50% d'amélioration. Avec le câble Wilson400 (LMR-400), j'ai obtenu 100% du rendement. C'est mieux que ce que j'obtiens avec mon cellulaire hors de la maison! Il m'a fallu deux ans d'essais avant de trouver cette combinaison gagnante, optimisée pour ma localisation et mes bâtiments.
