Need specific antenna recommendation for MR1100 AT&T version
I'm trying to make this MR1100 work in my home with the very spotty AT&T signal strength we usually get. We're not out in the middle of nowhere but for some reason, I have a really hard time getting ...
1) if you are in town, you likely want omni. you likely have multiple towers around you. the nighthawk will automatically switch between the towers. you can not control the switching. yagi's are directional and are for greater distances.
2) you want line of site to your cell towers and up high above your roof. be sure to ground the antenna.
3) you can purchase one antenna and see how it goes. your nighthawk does NOT require two external antennas to operate. adding a second antenna may have no benefits.
4) you want a wide band LTE antenna that covers all the bands in your area.
Thanks for the suggestions so far! Very helpful.
