Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 External Antennas will actually boost signal?
I have a Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 and have tried several external antennas that state they will boost the cellular signal from a tower. They do not. After reading several chats, it seems W1lliam s...
I did try with Netgear MIMO antenna, TS-9 connector, when dealing with B1/3/7/8/28, got some improvement. But had not investigated further if that helps high band, FYI.
Thank you!
NETGEAR 6000450 MIMO Antenna with 2 TS-9 Connectors is the last external antenna that I tried. . Got it from Amazon. I think it's the same one you tried.
The one over at ebay you mentioned is a NETGEAR 6000450 MIMO Antenna for 3G/4G Air Card USB
Is this the same antenna?
FYI My current band is LTE B66
I read on another post to possibly connect a NETGEAR Orbi mesh WiFi system to the ethernet port of the Nighthawk. I've just ordered this and will try it out.
- If you are focusing on B66, then you probably need to check on each antenna product(s) that you think might be helpful if they do support that frequency, even without TS-9, you still can find a convertor for TS-9, most of professional antenna comes with N-type connector, so you need to have N-to-TS9 antenna cable ordered to accommodate the antenna you pick up

I'm not focusing on B66, its just the radio band listed under my MR1100 diagnostics. Previously the radio band was B14, so I am assuming that the nighthawk changes bands as needed?
If the TS9 ports on the M1 are only designed for low bands, would I look for a low band antenna? If so, what should I look for? Sorry, but this is not in my wheelhouse. Just trying to find an external antenna to boost our signal.
