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...

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.
- W1lliamNov 01, 2022VirtuosoFrom what I tested, TS-9 ports are for lower band as major, but it would intercepts high band signal as well, just not designed for that. So, back to your question, TS-9 can be used for antenna designed for bands you are looking for, tried with Poynting antenna and it does very well for the job just its price is higher among similar products
