I purchased this item after extensive research, and reviews, alas my paddle antennas bring in a faster speed than this antenna. Didn't work for me!

I perform Cradlepoint installs for my company on remote offices (trailer offices, often in the woods away from any other option for internet), and after looking through the marketplace for something better than what we were using (Panorama Antennas), we came across Proxicast's Pro-Gain. Let me give you two examples of why this is now a mainstay in our inventory:The site is using a Cradlepoint IBR600, and was having issues with speed and connectivity (10 Mbps down, 0.1 up, spotty signal especially in bad weather). I did nothing but switch from the old Panorama antenna to this Pro-Gain antenna. Mind you, the size comparison between the two antennas is huge, so I usually mount the antennas to the trailer with a 2" x 10' high PVC pipe. The weight of these at the base is substantial (probably 2-3 pounds). JUST SWITCHING THE ANTENNA YIELDED 22 Mbps UP AND 8 Mbps DOWN. The site went from poor internet to acceptable in 30 minutes, using Proxicast cabling to connect the Cradlepoint with the Pro-Gain.Here's the reason we stock these antennas almost exclusively now: The 5G performance is incredible. I tested two of these, both on 10' masts 5 feet apart, on a Cradlepoint R1900 with a 5G Verizon SIM. I was able to get over 350 Mbps down and almost 150 Mbps up. I've never seen that kind of speed on a cellular connection, and while the R1900 is powerful enough, two of these in MIMO are the kind of solid I look for in what is truly a variant experience most of the time.Even if you have GOOD signal, I suggest one of these Pro-Gains. I recently installed a Cradlepoint AER2200-600 in a city environment, and utilized the Pro-Gain again on a 2" x 10' PVC pipe. The strength of the signal was great, and on the Verizon 25 Mbps plan, I was achieving 26-28 Mbps down and 25-26 Mbps up.

Hardware: Netgear Nighthawk MR6500Service: ATT/FirstnetDistance from towers: 12 and 13.5 milesTerrain: Dense trees, low valleyUse: Whole house hot spot, 10+ devicesThe graphics shows it all, before and after strength and speed test. The other shows the LTE coverage, naturally I would be in the white areas. (Small red dot if you can see it) Before the antenna I would receive minimal speeds and on lower bands with 3G, no 4G/LTE. Barely enough bandwidth to stream and once a ring camera started to send video to the cloud, the system would come to a halt. I was about to give up on the possibility of internet at this remote location in Maine.After desperation, I spent the money for this antenna and after connecting the antenna and literally placing it temporarily outside my signal improved greatly. I have tried to move the antenna to different locations to find the best location. Ironically the best location is close to a wall under a metal roof. I’m no cell signal expert, all I know if now I have decent internet with minimum issues. Also connecting on Band 14 consistently now versus Band 5.Short story, it worked when nothing else would. There is no chance of 5G making it to my location so I can not comment on that. Maybe in many more years from now.

Worked well for me. Easy installation with required hardware included to attach to a pole. All you need is a pole and two low loss cables to attach this to your modem. My download speed increased from 20-30 Mbs to over 50. Previously, the speed was quite variable but now the speed is solid throughout the day. As they say, pay more attention to the signal quality rather than the signal strength. In my case, my signal strength increased from 1 to 2 bars and the signal quality improved by 6-7 dbs. That was all it took to vastly improve my connection! Highly recommended.

I'm located 4 miles from two different AT&T towers. The distance isn't great but I'm surrounded by 80' old growth trees that interfere with the signal. No "line of sight" here. I used to get 8-25Mbps downloads but it was quite variable and got worse with bad weather, which is plentiful in northern Wisconsin. I installed the Proxicast MIMO antenna on a ten foot mast at the corner of our house. Instantly, download speeds improved to 40-50Mbps on average with peaks around 85-90. Performance is more stable also even in bad weather. 5 stars.

We have been struggling with getting a good 4g LTE signal from Verizon to our LTE router at our church since we are in a poor service area. We have tried several directional antennas which work to a certain extent but the signal changes with the weather etc. This omni directional antenna seems to work better and our data speeds are a lot higher. This MIMO antenna required two coax wires to our router. I am using LMR-400 coax which is supposed to be low loss with adapters at the end to connect to Netgear 4g router.

Easy to install, not sure that the signal boost is worth the money.

This antenna is large and heavy. The antenna does provide a decent increase in signal strength however even with a bigger signal strength value, the router throughput dropped considerably.
