mino 5G WiFi antenna?

[cedricb]

Hi,

I'm just wondering about the external WiFi antenna; would I get a signal inside the van with the door/ window closed?

MIMO-4-17

The MIMO-4-17 is a high-performance 7-in-1 multi-frequency antenna housed in a single enclosure, providing four cellular MIMO antennas, two dual-band Wi-Fi antennas, and a GPS/GLONASS antenna. Designed for LTE/4G and emerging 5G networks, it supports a wide frequency range from 617 MHz to 6000...

Or should I just use an external antenna only for the 5G/4G and use an internal antenna for the WiFi side?

don't want to install all these 7 cables and realised later that I only going to use 4...

Cheers,

What router you using?

going to use some like that: RUTX50 Industrial 5G Router

I use both. 2 off to the MIMO and 2 with internal antenna. I have the RUTX11

so do you unplug every time? and swap?

 

[Matt-T68]

No there are 4 connections. 2 in/out for the MIMO antenna. 2x WiFi

Yours has 4x for the MIMO and 2x for the internal antenna

got it now... you are not using an external antenna for the 2x WiFi
Thank you.

No the external wifi goes out via the MIMO antenna and you have 2x attached to the router inside the van.
