If your LTE or 5G router supports 4x4 MIMO external antennas, and you're looking to get the absolute best data rates, using a 4x4 MIMO external antenna is often the best option.

Our 4x4 MIMO Panel External Antenna Kit for 4G LTE/5G Hotspots & Routers includes everything you need to mount your external antennas, as well as the adapters necessary to connect the MIMO antenna to your hotspot or LTE router.

Our 4x4 MIMO Panel antenna offers up to 7.0 dBi gain between 600 MHz and 960 MHz, up to 9.0 dBi gain between 1710 and 2700 MHz, and up to 8.5 dBi of gain between 2700 and 6000 MHz. 

Including our Ultra-Flexible Quad-RS240 Cables

Our Quad-RS240 30ft cables make it easier than ever to connect your 4x4 MIMO Antenna to your LTE router, hotspot, or signal booster system. This cable assembly has four strands of low loss RS240 coaxial cable glued and sheathed, with SMA-Male connectors on the "indoor" end, to minimize the bulk of running multiple cables and make installation easier than ever. 

Also included in the bundle are four SMA-Female to TS9-Male pigtail adapters, four SMA-Female to U.FL pigtail connectors, and four SMA-Male to N-Male connectors, to ensure you have everything you might need to connect almost any device.

MIMO Panel vs MIMO Log Periodic

We also sell a 4x4 MIMO Log Periodic Antenna Kit for Hotspots/Routers that is very similar to this kit but uses four separate antennas to achieve slightly higher gain and slightly narrower directionality. We recommend using the MIMO Log Periodic Antennas if you have line-of-sight to your nearest cell towers. If you're surrounded by trees, buildings, or hills, this MIMO Panel Antenna Kit will likely perform somewhat better than the MIMO Log Periodic Antenna Kit.

Choosing between 4x4 MIMO and 2x2 MIMO

Installing external MIMO antennas is all about maximizing your data speeds. Different routers and hotspots have different configurations for external antenna ports.

Most hotspots, like the Netgear Nighthawk M1 and Verizon Jetpack 8800L will have two antenna ports, while some of the more advanced routers like the T-Mobile 5G Gateway and the MoFi 5500 often have four ports.

Our MIMO External Antenna Kits are available in both 4x4 MIMO and 2x2 MIMO configurations, with 4 and 2 antenna elements respectively.

Which one you should pick depends entirely on the device you have. If your device has four antenna ports, then it's usually best to go with a 4x4 MIMO Antenna kit, while if you’re working with only two external antenna ports, then you’ll want the 2x2 MIMO Antenna Kit.

Kit Options

Lightning Surge Protectors

We highly recommend using our Waveform Lightning Surge Protector Kits to protect your hotspot or 4G LTE/5G router from electrical surges due to lightning. Our Lightning Surge Protector Kits each include a 5 ft RS240 Jumper and a short length of grounding cable.

The surge protectors should be installed just before the coaxial cable enters the building. If you’re unsure about grounding your outdoor antenna, We’ve got a guide on how to ground a rooftop antenna. 

Our detailed guide for your hotspot or 4G LTE/5G router

Every hotspot and router is different, so we’ve written up detailed guides for some of the most common devices here. 

Adapters and Connectors

Our Quad RS240 coax cables have SMA-Male connectors on the “indoor” end. These are able to connect directly to most LTE routers, like the MoFi 5500, and Peplink Max BR1 Pro 5G, which make use of four SMA connectors.

Some devices without external antenna ports like the T-Mobile High Speed 5G Internet Gateway may have internal U.FL connectors.

We include both U.FL to SMA-Female and TS9-Male to SMA-Female adapters, which allow our MIMO antennas to be connected to almost any hotspot or LTE router. 

If you're unsure of which adapter you need, how to connect it, or where to begin, we suggest reading our guide for your router, or referring to your user manual. We know, there’s a lot of information out there and this can get very technical.
