MR6500 Pro

Hello,  I have tried two different antennas with the new MR6500 pro I have just received from AT&T and neither antenna seems to improve transmission performance.   Do these ports actually work?   And suggestions on configuration changes?

 

thanks for your time,

 

Wayne

    If you already has a good connection speed, say, over 100mbps, then the external antennas would not improve anything on your case. The internal 4x4 mimo antenna is already very strong in such scenario. The external antennas are only helpful when you don't have a good reception, like if you're in a RV and the antenna can reach outside.
