Nighthawk M1 External Antennas AT&T
Howdy folks, I just got a M1 on AT&T and wondering about external antennas for this unit. I am having issues because the specs indicate there is a 4x4 MINO internal antenna, but there are only t...
Hi Mike,
As I know, if plug the 2 x 2 MIMO antenna with TS-9 antenna to Nighthawk M1 AT&T, the maximum data rate can be achieved based on 2 x 2 MIMO. So you would not expect too much from the external antenna. However, if you use the Nighthawk M1 at a weak signal area, it's better to have a TS-9 dual connectors LTE antenna than not.
Yes, the M1 has built-in 4*4 MIMO antenna, but if you are really in the rural village where the mobile signal is very weak, you need an LTE external antenna for Nighthawk M1 to boost the signal strength. And the dual connector one is better than the single connector.
