Netgear MIMO Antenna Amazed


Ski

Recommended Posts

Yes, amazed at the increase in Mbps downloading. Purchased last month. We were visiting a relative for a few days. He lives on a farm in Cumberland, VA surrounded by trees. No AT&T signal period. Hooked up the antenna to our Netgear 815S. Searched for a signal and to my astonishment, download speeds of 30 Mbps plus.

Returned to Modoc, S.C. Without the antenna was downloading 5 to 7 Mbps. Connect the antenna and started downloading 20 Mbps plus. For around $32.00 on Amazon. For us, it was a great buy.

Don't lose sight of the fact that the effect of the antenna will vary depending on your location. Don't expect to see such dramatic changes every time.

Yes.. the Netgear MIMO antenna is an amazing low cost option to have in your setup - and a long time recommendation of ours. It has T-S9 antenna connectors to work directly with mobile hotspot devices (Jetpacks, etc.). 

Here's our full review of it:

Yep, I did not get any noticeable improvement at all in my present location.

I am actually getting worse signal at the campground in Kansas than I was getting with it. I'll plug it back in when I move again.
