Model: Archer NX200  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.0 3.0.0 v60e0.0 Build 240822 Rel.76438n

I have installed an Archer NX200 together with a Poynting XPOL-2-5G roof antenna. In the router's admin interface I have enabled external antennas and selected Network Mode 5G/4G/3G. However, according to both the admin interface and the signal light on the router, I still only get 4G+. When I select Network Mode 5G only, the internet connection disappears.

 

Nevertheless, the reception has improved radically after I replaced my old router with Archer and replaced my old 4G antenna with my new Poynting 5G. The download speed has now reached up to 129 Mbit/s and upload to 41 Mbit/s, which is what you can expect from 5G? Could it be that I actually have a 5G connection even though the router for some reason interprets it as 4G+? (On the ground level, my mobile phone has a 5G connection, although nowhere near as good as on the roof - the house is in a slump.)

Hi, welcome to our community.

May I confirm whether your Poynting XPOL-2-5G roof antenna supports Band N1/N3/N5/N7/N8/N20/N28/N38/N40/N41/N77/N78?

As the guide says, we cannot guarantee the performance while using any third-party 5G external antennas.

Usually, the web UI of routers can display related parameters, so I afraid your suppose should not be the main cause.

Thank you and best regards.
