External Antenna Compatibility

ChrisAmyPhillip — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 11:02:55 GMT

I have a TPLink MR600 AC1200 4G LTE Version1 with an unlimited data SIM (all purchased early Feb.)

I have been trying different external antenna versus the standard supplied paddle types.

Considering the download speeds only (unless the upload is significant - it is actually much greater than download btw)

With paddles - I get at best 5Mbps

With a Poynting omni directional external A-XPOL-0001 I get at best 10Mbps

With a Poynting directional external A-XPOL-0002-V2 i get at best 11.3Mbps

My neighbour (pointing in the same direction) uses the EE supplied antenna and gets around 50Mbps !

Are there compatibility issues with the TPLink MR600 and the Poynting antenna OR does anybody know what antenna the EE supplied one actually is?

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

The router manufacturer would be best placed to advise you on which antennas are compatible with your device.
