6000451 Antenna reduces my Speed.
I have the MR6500 Modem. I also bought the Mesh System, AX1800 to improve Wifi coverage in my home. Seems to work well. Getting about 25MB download and 4-5MB upload speeds using speedtest in the Mesh...
Ahhh! I didn’t understand that! That makes sense. So I don’t have a defective antenna- I’m just actually reducing my signal reception from four internal to two external when I plug the new external antenna in. I should probably just keep it for travel as I do get to some remote places, and it may actually help in those situations. Thanks for this insight. I would not have guessed that the modem had 4 receptors.
