Archer MR600 Antenna
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi
ive just got the new Archer MR600 4G router but seem to have strange behaviour when plugging in external antennas.
When i use the supplied antennas I get an ok signal so I thought I would try an external antenna. I’ve tried both a directional and an omni-directional antenna but both lower the signal?
Is there a setting on the router to state you are using a different antenna?
cheers

I have just purchased the antenna mentioned above.
I am in near perfect location, direct line of site to mast, about 1 to 1.5km away.
Had the modem in the window, and literally replaced it with new antenna and put the modem in a tucked away corner.
I took a grab of before and after for people to see.
But IMO it works great, cheapish, does the job I wanted it for of not needing the modem in the window. Signal boost - I'd be hard pushed to say it's any different though.

can we use sma male splitter to connect to the router ?
How do we handle antennas which provide single sma male connections ?

Hello,
I have few questions regarding your setup
Question 1:- While connecting to the router you have not directly connected the cable to the SMA Female input. what is the conenctor you have used between cable to the router
Question 2:- what is the purpose of the 24dBi MIMO parabolic grid antenna. Have you connected this antenna with LPDA antennas
Question 3 :- Here is my plan to address my issue please let me know does this a correct approach
- 2 12dBi LPDA antenna with N female connector
- 2 20 meter 0.5 inch RF feeder cable N SMA Female to SMA Female
Question 4:- Where can get the beta software to update my Modem to change the band . Quick reply from you to help me to place the order
Please share your contact details to my email id cbzvenki@hotmail.com
