TMO-G4-AR Gateway Issues
Recently upgraded to new G4-AR Gateway thinking with external antenna capability my 5G service would improve. Installed my WAVEFORM Mini Quad 4 x 4 Omni and Fired T-Mobile up. sizzle… Fizzle. 2 B...
I have a quad mini 4x4 and G4/AR gateway. In general, you won't see 'much' of an upgrade (ensure that you have set your G4/AR to use external antenna) especially if you make sure that your 'external' is set to be used.
In general, I don't see much of a gain with the quad mini indoors (as is claimed from Waveform). If you put your antenna in a better place (outdoors, attic, etc) you will see some improvement. The quad-mini is not much better (IMHO) than the internal antenna for performance outside of having an extension. For hardware - follow NaterTater - they sell 90 degree connectors which are easier to work with for this reason. This is a 'vendor' issue.
If you're looking for better performance - you may be able to exchange for the Quad Pro on Log based antenna which is directional. Also - Waveform themselves support their antenna.
