Nighthawk m1 external antenna setup
Hello all, Just ordered 2 Wilson 10dbi yagi's and cables and patch cords, etc. My question is how do you have yours mounted? Stacked, side by side, or + 45 -45 In in a rural area in east T.N. and ...

I just bought two cross-polarized MIMO antennas with one horizontal antenna and one vertical antenna on each wire. Question is, how are the four LTE antennas configured - lower-left, upper-left, upper-right, lower-right. (There is actually six antennas, where the two uppermost internal ones are used for wifi - I assume either dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz or Tx/Rx configuration on one of either bands.) Which one of the TS-9 ports is the receiver and which one is the transmitter? Would it be best to do a dual polarization on the download (Rx) and ditto on the upload (Tx), or use cross-polarization on either one?

(can't edit post no more) I guess it depends on the frequencies used. So let me clarify my question: are the internal antennas preconfigured for specific bands, or do they choose automatically depending on the local conditions?

My friend told me when you installing the Nighthawk M1 antenna, you need to adjust the antenna direction and see the signal bar on the Nighthawk M1. When you get the possible best effect, then let the antenna in this direction and fix it.

In the web UI or Netgear APP, no setup for external antenna available.
