5gee router which antenna

[simonharryharri]

Can someone point me in the direction of the best Antenna for the 5gee router I got delivered today, EE tell me they don't sell one to go with it?!

Hi, 

Oh I didnt know the ports were backwards like that.  I will do some tests in 4 and 2 like you say and see what happens.

I would say you need to concentrate on using the bottom two ports.  I believe these are labelled 3 and 4, but whatever - it's the bottom two you need.

On the 2021 5g the bottom 2 (closest to the int/ext switch) are ports 1/2.  Tbh I didn't try much testing before it broke as I was happy with 330 down 60 up !

But depending on how things go with EE or perhaps my own tinkering I might do some port swapping.

Hi, 

The bottom 2 as you suggest do not work well at all for me, I get signal but cannot browse any internet etc.

Good luck,

I already added some support to the connectors, as they are very small 🙂

Are you getting 5G or 4G?

[wcavanagh]

5G according to the status and when i check with iPhone

[BoltonSailor]

What are you getting when you login to the router itself (it will show on the top row of icons)?

5G

ok - well this just adds to the ongoing mystery of this router and the connections!  Best advice to all is to try the connections in all the permutations to get the best signal - but carefully to avoid breaking the naff connections!
