External Antenna Compatibility

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?

Hi @ChrisAmyPhillip,

 

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

 

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

 

To find out more about our 4GEE Home solutions, including external antenna options, please get in touch on 0800 079 0131.
