Waveform DualMini: Low-Profile 2x2 MIMO Window Antenna Kit | Omnidirectional 4G/5G Routers & Hotspots | for Netgear M5 & M6, Verizon, AT&T | Homes and RVs | 10’ SMA Cable, TS9 Adapters, Window Entry

We live in a fringe area and use Verizon 4G LTE for phone and internet. Verizon, when it's running right, is very good. Usually it is not, giving us "roaming" or one bar and uselessly slow, or just not there. This antenna system cleans up the signal-to-noise ratio which improves speed. It sometimes add a bar to strength but the company's c/s rep tells me that bar strength is not a reliable indicator, as it is not standardized across platforms. My results agree, counterintuitive as it seems. The system components appear to be good quality and the documentation is first rate. Do scan the QR code to "register" and let c/s know you are there. Now about the customer service...it's the absolute best I've experienced. You are talking/messaging with an actual tech person who speaks English, and has extensive product knowledge. And friendly. We use a Jetpack with Verizon. There are two small pop-out plugs in the lower edge of the device that can be pried out to reveal a pair of TS-9 plugs. The system provides a pair of pigtails that attach to adapters on the coax cable . The plugs are friction-fit, there is a note to that effect in the manual. It is important to relieve the strain on these in your final installation to avoid the coax cable putting pressure on them and pulling them out. I was able to put the adapters on the cables from the antenna and run the pigtails to the Jetpack to make a test rig to carry outside for readings. No need to carry the mount and cable with you...just watch the that the pigtails don't get pulled out in handling. I used the recommended speed test app by Ookla for monitoring. The tech even sent me a disturbingly recent sat view of my house with his recommended locations to test. The lightning protection kit (optional) is $99. I got two arrestors on Amazon for less than $40. One for each cable. All you'll need is some small wire to go from the fitting to the provided connector on the antenna mount, and some bare copper to go from the mount down to your ground rod. The mount is well painted so you will have to make some bare metal under a nut or bolt for good connection. Also, have a few inches of the bare wire extend up past the connection to the mount and file it to a point. The "lightning rod" is designed to bleed off charges that build up before they can attract the "Big One". If Mother Nature decides to send you a slap shot five-hole there is nothing you can do except not be nearby. This unit did not solve my primary problem, the lack of steady signal from Verizon, but it markedly improved what signal I get. My up/down numbers were great when we got signal and on balance we are better off for having this system. I recommend this system as a first step to get a better signal, as talking to Verizon doesn't seem to help much. As for Verizon, if you have tech problems, don't waste your time with their customer service...go right to Tech Services. Waveform's c/s are top notch, as previously stated. And read the manual FIRST, like they said.

**Review of the Waveform 2x2 LTE Antenna** I recently installed the Waveform 2x2 LTE antenna in my camper, located in rural Minnesota, and I am thrilled with the results. Prior to this, my FirstNet internet speed averaged a frustratingly slow 2 Mbps. Now, with the antenna mounted on a 12-foot pole and positioned with a clear line of sight to a cell tower, my internet speed has surged to well above 30 Mbps. The improvement is nothing short of dramatic. Tasks that were once a struggle, such as streaming videos, joining virtual meetings, or even basic web browsing, are now smooth and hassle-free. The Waveform 2x2 LTE antenna has significantly boosted my signal strength and overall connectivity, transforming my internet experience. Installation was straightforward, and the antenna's robust build quality ensures it can withstand the elements in a rural setting. Though I don't live in my camper, I frequently use it for remote work, and this upgrade has been a game-changer. The reliable and fast internet connection it provides is essential for anyone needing to work remotely in a rural area. In conclusion, the Waveform 2x2 LTE antenna is a must-have for remote workers in rural locations. It has drastically enhanced my internet speed and reliability, making it a highly worthwhile investment.

20x improvement in internet speed. Verizon MiFi 8800L.

I ordered this on a weekend. Then I called Waveform tech support on Monday. Tech Support was very helpful. I was told that this antenna mount was actually made for the eve of a home. But I elected to use it on my motorhome. I mounted the antenna right behind my AC unit so it was shielded from wind as I drive. I did use a bungee cord as a secondary hold down to measure for safety. Because of the panel design, the antenna will pick up a wide range of directionality yet because it’s not Omni directional it will increase signal to noise ratio by eliminating noise from the 180° direction behind the antenna. I told Tech Support that I had two primary goals. The first goal was to receive cell signals when camping rurally in my RV when cell signals were not very strong and bandwidth was poor. I was currently in Senator Wash Az, about 60 miles south of Quartzsite Az. My second goal was to be able to drive and utilize the antenna if needed. Tech Support said the driving factor would be best served by an Omni directional antenna, but the first goal would not be served well by the Omni directional antenna due to no gain factor. The flat panel antenna increases signal to noise ratio and this gives a gain which improves cell signal and bandwidth. So when I received the antenna, before actually mounting it to the roof I mocked up the installation temporarily and did some testing. The panel antenna did improve my signal and bandwidth. I used Speedtest by Ookla to make comparisons. My AT&T MR 1100 Netgear hotspot tested at about 25 Mb per second download speed with no antenna attached. With the Waveform panel antenna attached and pointed in the correct direction. My bandwidth went up to 49 Mb per second. Quite an improvement out in the boonies. As a second test, I wanted to see if I can drive with the antenna down and still receive a decent signal. So I lowered the antenna mast with the panel pointing straight upward from the roof. I thought this upward direction might receive a signal omni-directionally. I then used SpeedTest again and still had 25mbps. That’s doable for me. With 80 to 85% of my driving being on highways and in town, my bandwidth should be much greater most of the time. And when rural, I should still have an OK signal while driving most of the time. I highly recommend Waveform for their excellent products and Tech Support.

Where we are located, we currently do not have any high speed options available. It's one of those situations that we should, but we are still scratching our heads to why we don't. Anyhow, we are using AT&Ts hotspot router as that is the only option we have here. Looked into T-Mobile and Verizon for their high speed 5G setups, no luck. We are right on the end of a band that stretches out from the closest town so our phones is usually sitting at 1 bar of 5G service. Although, this router is capable of pulling in more signal due to the internal antenna design. Speeds were decent on the Down: 40-50mbps, upload: 2-5mbps. Fairly consistent ping under 90ms. Decided to buy the 2x2 MIMO antenna to see if we could get anymore gain from our current setup.. works wonderfully! While the download speed is capped at 50mbps for us, it reaches it with ease. Upload speed took the biggest jump to: 18-28mbps. Ping has been consistently under 70ms. Webpages would load before the antenna but the pictures would take awhile to load. That problem is gone. This antenna has actually made us feel like we have a solid internet. Streaming is crisp, and gaming is excellent! Biggest thing I can say for this product: your results may vary. Their instruction manual is detailed and on point. Positioning of the antenna is paramount. If you are chasing any kind of additional gain from a hotspot network, give this a try. While the price is steep for the kit that includes the low-loss cable, every part in the box felt like a quality product. Satisfied customer here! Thank you, waveform!

Didn't work for us for US Cellular with an Orbi lbr20 home internet in rural WV. With the orbi alone, we consistently had 2 to 4 mbps, occasionally up to 6 or even rarely 10mbps. When hooking up this mimo antenna, the service went to zero mbps. The best I could get was 1.54mbps. We know the direction of the tower, but cannot see it. We tried this antenna all over the place for an entire afternoon but couldn't get better than 1.54mbps. It was packaged nicely with great instructions. I had interacted with their customer support prior to the purchase and they felt it would work for my set up but it unfortunately didn't. Tech support after the purchase was superb as well. I texted with Cecil several times throughout the set up trial and he gave great tips, but this antenna just didn't improve our internet service. I had high hopes for this improving my parent's internet speed, but unfortunately it didn't and I'm returning it. Seems like a great company though.

We are full-time RV travelers, never dropping anchor near any major cities. We connect to the internet via a Verizon Jetpack hotspot - much better than RV Parks/Resorts wi-fi. Using our hot spot by itself, and doing a speed test (ATT.com), most times we see only 1 or 2 bars on the hotspot with throughputs ranging from 400kps to maybe 2mbps if we are lucky. We are currently are about 20 miles north of Durango, Colorado. We had 1 bar on the hotspot with lousy throughput. Just received this antenna and hooked it up - still only 1 or 2 bars on the hotspot, but running a speed test (ATT.com), throughput is now running between 40-70mbps download, and 6-8mbps upload, with very low "jitter" (about 30-40ms). What a difference. Over all the 11 years we've been on the road using the Verizon hotspot, even when we've been close to a tower with more bars, we've never seen throughput as good as we're getting now. Obviously many factors affect signal strength and throughput (rain, trees, shielding from the RV, distance from a tower). The RV resort we are now is located in a narrow valley, mountainous (San Juan Mountains), heavily treed, rocky cliffs around us, and we are getting great throughput. As a comparison, if I disconnect the antenna, most times I can't even connect to the internet. I have multiple degrees in electrical engineering (yea me!), and worked for a telecommunications lab for years. Our experience with this antenna absolutely amazed me. MY $0.02 worth, and worth every penny!

This was a most disappointing purchase. Prior to ordering, I asked the vendor through the Amazon site if this product would work with an Orbi 752 and was assured by the vendor it did. I had a professional installer come out to assist me and the extensive installation directions and tips They supplied further supplemental instructions. All of the recommended procedures were followed to the letter, spending almost three hours checking the signal strength all the way around the perimeter of my house and on the roof. The Orbi unit was actually receiving a better signal without the antennae connected no matter where we placed it. All of the connections were checked multiple times. The router was speed checked 30+ times as well as numerous reboots to make sure we were not missing anything. The unit comes with insufficient cable to install almost anywhere (except perhaps a 350 SF tiny house). Hours of my time were wasted on this experience and you should note there only tech support is by text message from 9-5 PT. NOT RECOMMENED, buggy product and substandard support. Don't waste your time and money. I had to pay an installer and then deal with the hassle of a unsatisfactory result and the bother of returning it... disgusting.

Easy to install, suport offered if required, could be done by any competant DIYer. Be prepared to spend time finding the best location and alignment before final install. I don't have "line of sight' with the signal mast so directional antenna did not work. This omni directional unit gave me a -15dBm improvement in signal strength and doubled my data download speeds. Not a cheap kit but high quality cables supplied, for me it was worth the money. If I lived in a strong signal area I could have achieved the same result for less money.

For the Low-Profile 2x2 MIMO Windows Antenna Kit, the ribbon cable to for the window pass through was missing. As this is a keep component of this kit to allow mobility and use of the Antenna outside without drilling any holes in the all or window, this was very disappointing. Unfortunately Amazon bot is making it harder and harder to contact the seller or Amazon to get the missing part sent out. The chat bot only offers you the option to return the product for a refund. I'll try reaching out the Waveform Directly, and update this review if I have any joy. Apart from the missing part the rest of review would be positive and go something like: The antenna is about the size of an iPad Pro. The desk stand is a nice additional and allow you to position the antenna near a window, on a shelf, etc. The window suction cups work well, and the over all design of the antenna seems well thought out. The cable is fixed in place and non-detachable, but seems robust. While the outside pole adapter uses zip ties, which I'm really not sure about, and I would say a more conventional solution seems in order. Overall everything is very plastic, and light, which is good for those who travel and just want an external antenna as an emergency solution in poor signal areas. I use this model with a mobile hotspot (Netgear M6), which has MIMO 4x4 internal antenna, but only two external antenna ports. Hence it is best to use the hotspot without an external antenna where there is good to strong signal. However when signal is poor, and there is a high SINR then I will use the external antenna as it allow better flexibility on placement. With the included 10ft (3m) extension cable, this means I can place the router in a warm dry location, while having the antenna outdoor.

Our home is off grid. For several years we have relied on mobile internet from a tower approximately 6 nautical miles away from us. The mobile modem worked okay much of the time, but could be glitchy and slow at times. Download speeds were usually adequate, but upload speeds were poor at best. My wife and I were considering Starlink, however after some research we came across this 2x2 panel antenna and decided it was worth a try. The setup was very easy since I knew where the mobile tower is. The two coaxial cables from the antenna fit directly onto the two ports on the modem, without any of the included adapters being needed. The result was about a 3 fold increase in download speed and more than a 100 fold increase in upload! That is correct 100 fold increase in upload. Now our internet works very well pretty much all of the time (even in very poor weather). Having gone this route has saved us from having to go with more expensive satellite options that also use way more power (important for us for we are not on utility power). This product has worked fantastic for us so far. We’re so happy we spent the time to research what was out there before abandoning the mobile internet avenue for more expensive options.

Missing Window Entry Cable from kit. Very disappointed.

A little pricey but worth it. I bought 3 cheaper antennas but didnt see much improvement so didn't have much hope for the antenna but this antenna double/tripled my internet speeds. The company was great, Even helped with aiming the antenna and making sure it was working the best it could.
