About Proxicast 4G/5G External Magnetic Antenna
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
72% liked its adjustable features, but 28% found it difficult to adjust
MIMO antennas should be mounted at a 90 degree angle to each other. It is recommended to mount one vertical and one horizontal, with the horizontal antenna perpendicular to the direction of the nearest cell tower.
I use magnets to adjust the computer-networking-antennas and move them around depending on my location in the forest where I work.
I tested the MiFi with the antenna connected and checked the speed using speedof.me while sitting at my desk at home.
Our antennas easily fall over, whereas their expensive and heavier big brother does not.
74% liked its compatibility with multiple devices, while 26% experienced connectivity issues
My M5 still has the same number of bars, but the speed tests I ran showed improvement, indicating that the antennas have improved the compatibility of the computer-networking-antennas.
After using the antennas, I am seeing a substantial improvement in upload, download, latency, jitter, RSRQ and SNR.
The antennas attach to the mifi device via two TS9 connectors that fit nicely, not too loose but tight enough to stay connected.
Ts9 connectors are fragile and can break easily, which can be a problem when connecting the device.
73% appreciated the durable and sturdy build, though 27% experienced hardware failure
The magnet is very strong and keeps the antenna held down during dust and wind storms, indicating its durability.
I purchased the antennas to improve signal strength while hiking and camping. The antennas are durable enough for such conditions.
I placed the antenna on the top of my car and plugged it into the MiFi. It has a magnetic mount.
These antennas are not durable as they easily fall over, whereas their expensive and heavier big brother does not.

74% found it easy to set up and install, while 26% encountered difficulties
The antennas attach to the mifi device via two TS9 connectors that fit nicely and are tight enough to stay connected.
My antenna hookups matched my Netgear M2 Wi-Fi puck, indicating that the installation process was easy.
I advise trying different antenna configurations instead of following the suggestion of placing antennas at a certain distance, as many guides recommend.
If the antennas are set up improperly, our performance will be worse.
73% liked the extended range and coverage, but 27% found dead spots
These antennas made a huge difference for me and made the MiFi a workable solution to being able to work from a remote location.
Generally, I get great reception and remarkable speeds, but sometimes when I'm off the beaten path, the signal can be a little spotty.
I have an issue with the Ts9 connectors.
78% praised for its strong signal strength, while 22% experienced dropped connections
After using the antennas, I experienced a significant improvement in upload, download, latency, jitter, RSRQ, and SNR.
This antenna provides great 4G service and my friend used it for 5G service which worked great.
The antennas made a significant difference in our connection's usability. The more expensive ones provided better results and are more physically stable.
I was unable to improve the signal strength or speed with the antennas, despite following the instructions and trying different placements.
