Looking to get the best possible data rates from your Peplink MAX BR2 Pro?
You’ll want to purchase and connect two OmniRoam units: the Waveform OmniRoam 5-in-1 Mobile Antenna to the device’s four SMA cellular ports and GPS port, and the Waveform OmniRoam 6-in-1 Mobile Antenna to the remaining four SMA cellular ports and two Wi-Fi ports.
In this guide, we'll:
Using a MIMO antenna can help you get the fastest LTE data rates possible.
The Peplink MAX BR2 Pro has SMA connectors. The eight cellular ports, the two Wi-Fi ports, and the GPS port can be found at the back of the device.
We recommend a combination of the OmniRoam 5-in-1 Mobile Antenna and the OmniRoam 6-in-1 Mobile Antenna to optimise all 11 different ports.
Before attaching the Peplink to the antennas, you’ll want to install the OmniRoams in your vehicle.
High-performance, omnidirectional all-in-one mobile antenna with four SMA cellular connectors and one GPS SMA connector.
High-performance, omnidirectional all-in-one mobile antenna with four SMA cellular connectors and two Wi-Fi connectors.
There are multiple versions of the OmniRoam. Make sure you choose both the 5-in-1 and the 6-in-1 version, as both are needed to boost all four cellular ports and both WiFi ports.
Most people think that external antennas primarily help you increase your data rates by increasing the signal strength. But that's not the case.
An increase in signal strength is often less important than other ways that external mobile antennas help.
Here are the three main ways that mobile antennas help you increase your data rates on the move:
Vehicle antennas improve SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), allowing higher data rates through better modulation schemes. Proper mounting and positioning on your vehicle is crucial for optimal performance.
Modern vehicle routers can use multiple cellular bands simultaneously through carrier aggregation. External antennas help access higher frequency bands that typically can't penetrate vehicle bodies, often providing faster, less congested connections.
Vehicle-mounted antennas provide better MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) isolation than internal antennas, enabling cleaner simultaneous data streams. This results in higher bandwidth and more stable connections while driving.
We've compiled a detailed instruction manual to accompany the OmniRoam, where we go into depth on the best ways to install the kit.
The OmniRoam has three different mounting options:

Choose the positioning that best suits your vehicle's needs.
You don't need to worry about the two units being positioned too close or too far apart - they won't interfere with each others' performance.
As well as in the manual, you can also find a detailed description of each mounting option in the product video:
Once you're happy with your install, it's time to connect the Peplink MAX BR2 Pro!
The Peplink MAX BR2 Pro has SMA connectors. The eight cellular ports, the two Wi-Fi ports, and the GPS port can be found at the back of the device, as pictured below:

Connect your cables to your Peplink MAX BR2 Pro's antenna ports and hand-tighten.
Use the labels indicating the cellular (magenta), WiFi (white) and GPS (blue) cables and connect each to the right port. The order in which you connect the cables to the router doesn’t matter.
Once everything is connected, you're ready to enjoy reliable connectivity on the road!
