LB1120

Few questions about external antenna.  

 

I want to replace my at&t beam 340u which I have an external antenna being used that gives me decent 4G LTE speed.  I an using only one external antenna connection on the at&t beam 340u.  I see the manual says the LB1120 needs to connect both antenna ports.  Can I use only one port on the LB1120 or do I need two.  I read where to get MIMO you need to use both ports. I am a little confused.  Do I need another antenna or need to buy a MIMO antenna?

 

Thanks for the help.

    im using a MIMO antenna but have noticed that when plugging only 1 atenna lead in the signal jumps up. so i would say yes you can use just 1 lead but to get the MIMO function you will need 2 antenna's or a MIMO antenna.
