Waveform 2x2 MIMO Log Periodic Outdoor Antenna Kit - Boost LTE & 5G

Our review of the Waveform 2x2 MIMO Log Periodic Outdoor Antenna Kit finds it is aimed at anyone using an LTE or 5G gateway, hotspot or router who wants a reliable way to fix slow video calls, buffering streams, or high online game ping. The biggest reason to buy is simple: the pair of cross-polarized LPDA Yagi antennas captures significantly more signal than internal router antennas, delivering steadier throughput for video conferencing, streaming and general browsing when a weak tower signal is the bottleneck.

Key Features

• Cross-polarized Yagi design: Two antennas provide MIMO reception so the router sees twice the independent signal paths for more consistent throughput.
• Wideband performance: Coverage from about 600 to 6000 MHz supports major LTE and some 5G bands used by T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon.
• Up to 11 dBi gain: Higher directional gain helps pull usable signal from distant towers to reduce buffering and lower latency.
• Complete adapter kit: The included three-pack of adapters and 30 ft RS240 SMA cable lets you connect to many routers and hotspots without extra purchases.
• Lifetime support: Waveform offers phone and text support during business hours for the life of the product to assist with setup and troubleshooting.

Who It's For

The kit suits home and small-office users who have a MIMO-enabled router, gateway or hotspot and regularly see slow speeds due to weak outdoor signal. It is particularly helpful for those using devices from makers like Mofi, Netgear, Cradlepoint or Verizon who need a straightforward external antenna upgrade.

It is not the right choice for users who cannot mount an antenna outdoors or who expect a plug-and-play indoor USB dongle solution; this is an outdoor directional antenna kit that requires basic mounting and routing of the 30 ft cable to your modem.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Improves real-world throughput for video calls and streaming by increasing signal capture with two antennas.
• Broad band support for major carrier LTE and many 5G bands, making it compatible with most routers listed.
• Comes with 30 ft RS240 SMA cable plus U.FL and TS9 adapters so it connects to many hotspots out of the box.
• Lifetime access to Waveform support helps with installation and tuning.

Cons

• Requires outdoor mounting and some basic installation; not a purely indoor plug-and-play fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my hotspot?
Yes, the kit ships with a three-pack of adapters (including U.FL and TS9) and a 30 ft SMA cable to connect to most hotspot and router models listed in the product details.

Do I need to mount it on the roof?
Outdoor mounting is recommended for best performance; placing the antenna outside, even lower than the highest roof peak, usually yields noticeably better speeds than indoor placement.

Which carriers and bands are supported?
The antenna covers major LTE bands used by AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile including band 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 66 and others mentioned in the product description.
