Nighthawk M1 external antenna connectors
Hi folks I am having problems with my M1 regarding external antenna signal strength - like no improvement! The tech lined the antenna up with the tower on the highest point on my roof but no result!...

The problem isn't on that antenna but the antenna port on M1, these two ports only designed for low bands (such as B1/3/8/28..,etc.), unfortunately your environment seems preferred on B7 and that two TS-9 port does not help on B7. There are 4 antennas inside M1, designed for different bands.

Thanks for the info! Well that's $600 (antenna cost and installation) wasted. So the external antenna won't overide the internal. Its supposed to cover 3G, 4G, 4GX and 5G bands and a 9dbi gain!
I think I may have to have a chat with the Antenna Shop!
Thanks once again.
