Antena externa

I just got T-Mobile home Internet and the service is slow, I'm only getting 2-10 mbs download and 1-4 mbs upload. My house is around 1.5 miles from the tower and the Gateway only shows 4G, will an external antenna help me? I don't mind trying it but I don't want to want to waste my time and money on something that won't work. I do have the newest Gateway with external antenna ports. Gracias 

  • I would experiment with other locations for the gateway in your home.  It should on your highest floor, near a window.  You can try rotating the unit.

    For the best information on the external antennas, seek out Nater Tater on YouTube.  He tested several antennas and positions just yesterday.   I have watched quite a few of his videos.  My impression is that the gateway that supports external antennas isn't all that good.  I have one of the older models (Sagemcom FAST 5688W) and my service has been excellent - there is no need for me to try anything else.  Good luck. 🍀
