LTE 4x4 MIMO outdoor antenna
What do you think about my new toy, 4x4 LTE Mimo panel antenna ? I am really looking forward to test it with MR1100 later.

Looks great TeeJay74 - first one I've seen - none on the market yet. The question is, how are you going to connect it to the MR1100 when there are only 2 connections for external antennas? Are you going to have to open the MR1100 casing?

Not actually opening, but some drilling etc. There is a plan and hopefully it works. Only time will tell that. For me this is high priority.
This antenna model:
Dawn Communication Co., Ltd.
698-960/1710-2700MHz XX-Pol Wideband Panel Antenna
Model: DB-698/2700X-8-65
We went the 4x4 route a few months back, it is great! Just a little solder and you will do just fine.

Any chance of a closeup photo and an indication of where the 3rd and 4th contacts are made?

Ventilation seems to be good :)

Wow, that looks amazing! Can you perhaps tell me, which of the 4 extra antenna connectors that can boost the carrier aggregation and what the connector types are? I asked Netgear support, but they say they are proprietary and won't help me further. If it is possible to connect more than 1 MIMO-antenna, I would like to do so.

Now I feel that I do not want to encourage anyone to do such actions that void device warranty. So keep your devices in one piece and warranty valid. No problem if you know what to do, this can be implemented in style, but exact details are internal information.
guess this isn't state side yet.
