Netgear Nighthawk M5 external antenna

Hi, does the Nighthawk M5 needs an DC schort circuit to recognize an external antenna?

Hello moewe-8,

 

the MR5200 has two TS-9 external antenna connectors, so antennas should be recognized without any additional hardware. 

 

I cannot recommend you any specific antenna of another manufacturer, because there is no compatibility list of antennas for NETGEAR mobile routers. 

 

NETGEAR offers one antenna model: the Omnidirectional MIMO Antenna. You can find more information about this product under this link.

 

I wish you a nice day! 

 

Kind Regards,
DamianM
