2x2 MIMO Omnidirectional Low-Profile 4G/5G External Antenna with 10ft SMA Cable
Product description
This kit includes two low-profile omnidirectional antenna units, each fitted with an approximately 10 ft SMA male cable for flexible placement. The antennas are designed to feed 2x2 MIMO setups on compatible routers and hotspots, so both transmit and receive paths can see improved signal performance.
Frequency coverage spans roughly 698–6000 MHz, making it suitable for modern 4G LTE bands and many 5G frequency ranges. Each antenna delivers roughly 5 dBi of gain in an omnidirectional pattern, meaning it receives signals from all horizontal directions without needing precise orientation.
The housing is weather-resistant and intended for outdoor or indoor mounting — common installation points include roofs, eaves, poles, or high window locations. SMA male connectors allow quick attachment to most consumer cellular routers and modems that accept external antenna inputs.
Installation is straightforward: run the supplied cables from antennas to the router or hotspot, secure the antennas in a high, unobstructed position, and tighten the SMA connections. The unit is meant to help increase download/upload speeds and lower dropout rates where cellular coverage is spotty.
If you need assistance, the manufacturer offers email support with a 24-hour response window for product and after-sales questions.
Pros
- Improves reception and stability in many weak-signal areas
- Includes 10 ft SMA male cables for flexible placement
- Weather-resistant design for indoor or outdoor mounting
Cons
- Some users report connector or cable failures
- Performance depends heavily on mounting location
- Not universally effective for every modem or site
VerdictThis 2x2 MIMO omnidirectional antenna package can noticeably raise reception and stability for many routers and hotspots, especially in rural or marginal coverage areas. It’s simple to mount and weatherproof, but results vary by site and some users report connector durability or placement limitations. Recommended for users willing to experiment with positioning to gain stronger cellular performanc

No benefit in our setup
The supplied cables are short which may have limited placement. It had zero effect on our signal.

Improved signal on my T-Mobile router
Bought two for my home T‑Mobile G4SE router. They raised signal from poor/good to good/excellent. Cable, connectors, and antennas feel well-made.

Slowed my speeds
Not worth it — my speeds dropped about 50% compared with the router’s internal antenna.

Boosted signal but connector failed
Boosted the signal effectively, but the coax connector failed when I unscrewed it. It began spinning free and the internal contact was damaged.

Modem worked better without it
In my case the modem performed better without the external antenna.

Great for rural internet
Performed very well in my rural location. Simple to install and noticeably improved internet speed and signal strength.
