Antenna for Nighthawk M1
Hi, can anyone please recommend an antenna for a Nighthawk M1. Our broadband is less than 1mb- no Fibre broadband where we live and also at the end of the landline, so we are relying on the Nighthawk and it would be good if we could improve the signal. Many thanks

Hello,
Improving the signal on your Nighthawk M1 can be done by using an external antenna. For your situation, a directional antenna like a Yagi or log-periodic antenna would be a good choice. These antennas are designed to focus the signal in one direction, which can significantly boost reception, especially when you are at the edge of a cell tower's range. It's important to choose an antenna that supports the frequency bands used by your hctra mobile carrier and has the correct connectors (TS-9) to plug into the M1.
Hi, thank you very much for replying so swiftly. Can you please recommend which Yagi antenna would be best, there seem to be a number of them.
many thanks,Ian
