LB2120 outside antenna recommandation and installation
Good day everyone:
I have a Netgear LB2120 connected up and is operational with an AT&T sim card. Working great but I would like to put an outdoor antenna on the roof to boost my signal. I have looked to now I am quite lost and confused. With the antenna on the roof I could get the best signal with the tower at hand.
The question, I have has anyone else done this at a minumal cost. I am currently looking at a
Wilson Electronics Wideband Directional Antenna 700-2700 MHz, 50 Ohm (314411). I already have 50 ohm cabling from an older antenna in place which is in good shape. The question I keep asking is do I need a booster also to make this work. or can I just plug the cable coming from the antenna to the modem. Wilson could not answer this question!
If anyone has any recommendations for this or any other type of product I would greatly like to hear from you
thanks
Scott

You should be able use the non-MIMO Wilson fine as long as your cabling ends up with a TS9 pigtail to plug into the modem. Since it is not MIMO just plug your antenna into the Main port (not the Div port). If you want you can add a second Wilson and offset the first by 45 degrees and plug it into the Div port.
