Re: Nighthawk M5 - 5G Router - Antenna recomendations for wifi & LTE
cellular antennas and wifi antennas broadcast different. So there isn't a single product you could get that'd work for both. (sadly)
You can try using the antenna you linked to to see if it'd help with reception. I've had luck with using lte antennas on other hotspots. helped quite a bit with improving speeds.
In terms of boosting wifi performance, a bit more details are needed. The MR5200 has a pretty solid wifi setup on it with AX1800 speeds and pretty good broadcast coverage for a hotspot.
What speed/coverage are you expecting out of it?
What speeds/coverage are you getting?
I ask because if the bottleneck is the LTE connection, boosting the wifi isn't going to help any.
so its determining where the bottleneck is to see what'll help the most.
