Question 1

How long is the cable, in inches, that runs fro the antenna?

Accepted Answer

The cables are approx. 40 inches long. Hopefully this antenna works better for you than it does for me. The area I am at is pretty remote and the antenna does not help.

Question 2

Does this "Netgear 6000450 MIMO Antenna with 2 TS-9 Connectors" compatible w/ NETGEAR Aircard 770S which I purchased frm ATT ?  ATT calls this Aircard "UNITE - 12AF.

Accepted Answer

Yes this adapter will connect to that air card. You will however need to find the direction that the satellite is pointing from. You will have to play around with the location to find the sweet spot.

Question 3

Rather specific question here:
I am using Wataniya as an internet provider while on deployment with a Huawei E5372. I am unsure if the 3G/4G frequencies are the same out of the United States. Will this antenna cover the frequencies needed?

Accepted Answer

The antenna isn't limited to a specific frequency. If your device is made for 4g or 3G it should improve the signal.

However, it's not a radical difference. I normally receive 1 to 2 bars of reception on a 5 bar scale. This improves my reception up by as much as 2 bars when I'm on the fringe of signals. If I start out with one bar, I could have two to three.

Possibly making an aluminum foil (with carboard) signal reflector might help further.

For me it makes the difference between a useless hotspot and uesable.

Question 4

I'm trying to use Freedom Pop, a free internet provider, but I live in an old trailer/mobile home and can't get a signal. If I get this antenna, how and where exactly do the 2 plugs go? After I get it plugged in, can I extend the cable reach so I can put it closer to a window? Thanx. I'm not very electronics savvy.

Accepted Answer

I use the FreedomPop Bolt, so it may be slightly different depending on what device you are using. There is a small rubber cover on the side (it's pretty easy to see where it is because the texture is different). The two plugs are there and I don't believe it matters which one goes where.

As for extending to a window, the cord is pretty short and doesn't get any longer. However, unlike WiFi, the cellular signal is not as dependent on being near a window.

I think it does make a difference and am happy with my decision to get this. It will not, however, give you signal where there is truly none to be found. You need to check your coverage map to make sure there is some signal in the area or at least really close by geographically. This is better for getting you a few more bars in places where the signal was weak or intermittent.

Best of luck!

Question 5

Has anyone tried this with the Netgear 341u and does it work?

Accepted Answer

This antenna increased my reception by two bars for Sprint 4GLTE. (Netgear u341 modem) It matters what network you use this with, as I believe other carriers operate on frequencies that this antenna is not optimized for. Works great for Sprint though.
