M7 Ultra Pro - external antenna
With the M7 Ultra diesel the modem transmit wifi signal from the external antenna or just receive signal. I have a M7 in a locked container and would like to receive 5g signal and transmit a wifi signal from within the container. Thanks
TX and RX - but only for the mobile network,, including 5G services - not for the WiFi.

just to clarify what was already stated, the external antenna ports on the M7 is for 5G/LTE radio, not for WiFi. WiFi signals are sent and received via internal antennas in the device and there is no external port for you to connect WiFi antennas.
Thank you. Another question. Does(can) the ethernet connection operate as well as the wifi connection at same time?
Yes, ethernet and wifi work at the same time. If it was me? I'd just connect a access point to it. Or you could use a full router and put the M7 in passthrough mode. Both options would work. Metal containers are great at blocking wifi. (and trapping heat, might need a vent if its a small container)
