How to get Faster Internet on the Nighthawk?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- This is the second video on our series of home internet videos. This time we tested the Nighthawk M6 in the Adelaide Hills, with and without an external antenna.
We also show you hot to connect the Nighthawk to the antenna and share our live test results from speedtest.net.
As seen in the video, the external antenna makes a huge difference to the signal strength. Especially in an area, where you are on the far edge of the signal reach. When the weather is good you can stream Netflix and watch Smart TV etc. As soon as the weather changes, the signal drops out and is very inconsistent. Using a good directional antenna will keep your signal consistent even when the weather changes.
Our Directional antenna kit for the Nighthawk is available here: rfshop.com.au/...
This antenna is suitable for both 5G and 4G, depending on which nighthawk you have.

Great video mate loved the different angles along with the explanation on the cable & ports👍
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
Nice demonstration! I've just messaged your website a couple of questions and some info on how I use. If you think this product suits my user case, take my money!
Thanks for your business :)
You Got My Sub This Video Was Very Helpful Thanks So Much 🙏🙏
Much appreciated !
Similar experience for me with the same Poynting xpol-2-5g antenna - the download speeds did not improve at all, only the upload speeds, and better SNR.
Indeed. I see this happen a lot. I think the download is simply managed by the network, but as soon as you get a good connection things are more stable and the network serves you better. These days that's really where the "working remote" setup comes to it's power, allowing people to Zoom / Team etc without any trouble
It would have need nice if you also tried the caravan omni directional antenna as well to compare it with the directional antenna.
Yes...that'll actually happen on a caravan in the coming months as well
How do you attach the Poynting antenna to the pole? The bolts/bracket that is attached to the back of the Poynting antenna is not suitable to clasp the pole. Do you sell a mounting bracket at RFShop?
There is a pole mount / u-clamp included in the antenna that we use to attach is to the pole. I have done a video to explain this as well...see ruclips.net/video/8Uug3lnF4qQ/видео.html
RSRP: -110dBm
RSRQ: -11dB
RS-SINR: 13dB
My ethernet speeds keep spiking and dropping from 280Mbps down to 5-10Mbps.
Am I simply having a signal issue?
Is it simply a bad position in my house?
I think the RSRP is a bit weak, so you can expect some fluctuation. You would want to see what the RSRP (and RSRQ / SINR) is when the speeds are lower
In settings...Is Max Performance better than balanced like it says battery plugged in for max performance..does this mean it'll add speed???
I am much more in favour of balanced over speed. You may see faster speeds, but consumer modems tend to trip over themselves if you keep pushing it too hard.
hello. What are the two connectors you attached from the router. They are white and connected to the antenna lead? Thanks
On this particular cable it's SMA connectors. Poynting adds little thumb screws plastic covers over the connectors to make them easier to fasten and loosen.
I'm using the Bluespot 5G antenna UK with the ZTE MU 5001 5G hotspot stock test 2 signal bar with -107db speeds 280mb - 320mb download 5mb upload
Antenna on test upstairs window 4-5 bar 5G signal with -85db with speeds 360mb - 530mb download 7mb upload...
We've had mixed success here in AU with the MU500 units that Telstra sells. At least the reported signal strength seems very good, but the upload improvement is somewhat underwhelming :)
Holy sheet that's some nice speeds, I max out around 430Mbps somedays
Get to the point.
Ari, I'm working to change the style of videos in 2023. For now, there's a lot of information to share. You are welcome to skip forward
@@RFShop You don't need to apologise, your personal is great for educating people learning about the technology. Just ignore silly comments like that.
@@psaunder1975 True ... thanks for expressing something I thought :)
