- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2019
- This modification can access the two antenna ports hidden inside the device.
The kit can be purchased from www.ebay.com.au/itm/183651187710
and external antennas www.ebay.com.au/itm/183815277554 Please note AC800s has same TS9 antenna ports to the M1.
Very useful for Quad Antennas
4 BAND MIMO ANTENNA ( -,+) 45°
The 2X2 MIMO is used in 4G LTE communication to take full advantage of it you need 2 antennas (+,-) 45° because of the polarisation diversity
You can quadruple you maximum data transfer speed (4X4 MIMO) by adding another 2 antennas because your M1 device has 4 connections in another term it will double your speed
So you actually tried this? How were your signal/speeds effected?
What is the wire called
your video is great dont care about negative people because they useless in there live all they doing are complain
The world is not all cotton candy, unicorns and rainbows. He didn't do a before and after speed test to see if it works or is a huge waste of time.
Just a heads up if you purchase this kit be VERY VERY careful installing the antennae on to the sockets they are fragile and very small to work with. Another thing before drilling anything test your unit to see if you get any gains.
Did you see any gains after install ? Thanks for the tips.
@@duckthis17 The best gains I ever got was going to exteranl antenna mounted to the roof of the house. It's SO dependant to location. Currently run external antenna setup now with 4G and will have fibre installed this month as I live in a new location.
@@bakeraus Did you see an improvement after you modified yours ? Thanks for the tips.
As much as people say this may or may not work...at least you are trying to reverse engineer... Good on you, but you should really support your efforts with tests pre/post and with different variations to cross check your work....and post a disclaimer before others follow...but thumbs up
Some people would drill a hole in a Lambo just to use a hot glue gun.
haha
what do you say, is there the possibility of installing this modification on the side area of the m1100? I would not like to drill the front ... it would be better to be able to drill the side part and install the connectors
I think those antenna ports are for higher bands . So in saying that won’t they be completely useless if your provider does not use those band frequencies? You could put 100 antenna on there doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get faster speeds
Well the whole purpose of an Antenna is to focus on a given signal. NOT to get faster speeds. HOWEVER if a band is typically supposed to be putting out a minimum speed and you aren't getting the full potential then yes it will indeed give you faster speeds.
I have this (1200Mbps Smart WiFi Router, WAVLINK AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Ethernet Router WiFi Wireless 5Ghz + 2.4Ghz Gaming WiFi Router High Speed Wireless WiFi Box with Long Range for Gaming Xbox Playstation PC) connected to my Netgear mr1100 and get 40-90 download/ 15-27 upload average.
Is the M1 also a voice/telephone signal repeater?
We have without our Cross polarized Yagi antenne no mobile internet.
I am looking for a mobile cell phone connection extender with also an extra data output LAN.
I am looking now for a LTE 4g extender with voice repeater and one LAN output for data to a balancing TP-Link router.
We use a polarized double Yagi Antenna from Halo&Son in Austria for Band 28 and this works very well and we want it to be connected to the extender.
existing external TS9 mounts are terribl, SMA are much better. possible to also attach that fo antena 1 and 2?
Where are the internal wifi antennas? I can not find anything regarding those on the internet.
please show me the speed? after you do this antenna
DITTO...Same request
Sbut up stupid
So the next version from them will hopefully have these antennas, for $300 :) They always release these models for those who buy the most expensive one on the page.
Jim Brannan att has a 5g version but i dont know the ports
hi boss seen your nice work on m1,i have m2,and have seen you prepare and sell a kit even for it,but i cant understand why you will use only 1 antenna connector on it?can you explain to me please?
Can I habea pizza plz?!
this netgeat nighthawk is burning through my gb. Any way you know whats wrong?
So.. you now have the antennas attached to ports 3 and 4.. why not have all 4 hooked up? I thought that was the point of this mod.
CrossGrain The point was to show how to access and utilize the other 2 that aren’t readily accessible. Do you really not understand
The first 2 are under the flaps on the bottom
@@MrPacMan36 The talk is that using the external ports turns off the internal. I'm not sure if it turns off all 4, or just 1&2. Somebody has tested this method though and had absolutely no gains using the internals.
These adapters cost like 2-3 bucks on ebay. This guy is just trying to make bank it seems.
which type of connectors are the internal ones? TS9 or other type of connector? thanks
i wanna know also
Me too
hi what cables are they?
How do I get my Nighthawk Unlocked. It's a ATT device
What are the connections called
Great!
While this will work, the antennas need to be at least 30 centimeters apart for MIMO speed improvements.
A better solution is to just get a professional mobile router which already included 6 antennas, 2 for WiFi 2.4Ghz, 2 for WiFi 5Ghz, and 2 for the 4G-LTE modem. It can also bypass carrier throttling which is next to impossible on the Nighthawk. Here's more info: ruclips.net/video/e6kaLZ5pZQA/видео.html
I had the KuWfi 6 antenna router and the speeds were horrible on the T-Mobile network, Got 3 or 4 Mbps download speeds. Streaming video was unwatchable. I just bought the Nighthawk on the AT&T network and speeds are faster, 10 to 15 Mbps and streaming video is fine. A lot of the speed depends on where you live, how many people are on the network and where the cell network antenna towers are in your area. The AT&T tower is about a mile from me out my window while the T-Mobile tower is on the other side of my building and further away. I'm only using the internal antennas in the Nighthawk now but will be connecting two external antennas which should boost my speed. Not saying the KuWfi is a bad router at all but for me and where I live, it just didn't work well
And 10 or 15 is almost nothing compared to what I have with Xfinity's 200+ down but my Xfinity bill is going up again and I want to cancel it. WAY too expensive
Should have tried the WuFi with the ATT service, can't compare apples with oranges. ;)
Obviously carriers can made a big difference, I use a SimpleMobile (Tmobile towers) sim and get around 100Mbps down consistently about 2 miles away from the tower.
The KuWfi I had came with T-Mobile so I didn't have a choice there. I also live near Chicago's O'Hare airport which has a high level of cellular activity thus the slower speeds with both carriers. 100 Mbps for you is amazing. I imagine I could put my AT&T sim in a KuWfi and get better speeds, but anywhere near 100 I don't think is possible for me. Nighthawks are capable of up to 1 Gbps down so if I could get anywhere near 100 Mbps I would be getting it. If I do get a KuWfi in the future with AT&T service I will post my results here
@timmycue < It's not the router that matters for speed, but the carrier and radio modem you use. The Nighthawk comes with a CAT-12 (category) built in modem, and it's non-replaceable. The cheaper KuWfi version usually comes with a CAT-6 modem, so regardless which carrier you use the modem's category affects the speed greately, but its biggest advantage that it can bypass the hotspot limitation via TTL on multiple carriers which the Nighthawk cannot do. I have installed a CAT-20 into my KiWfi, and while on paper it's a 2Gbps modem, in real life the best I'll ever get on 4G-LTE is between a 100 to 200 (there's always overhead congestion, signal degradation, multipath, etc.). Now, with a new 5G modems (which currently costs over $500) on paper it's 10Gbps but in real life it's more like 500Mbps. From my experience having tried all carriers, ATT's speeds are overall lower than others regardless what mode/router you use, it's usually around 50Mbps.
Does this work in the us someone told me this doesn’t work in the us
Does this work on the USA ????? Someone told me this mod doesn’t work in the states !!!
on the side of the item where the connectors are look under those rubber strips for antenna connectors instead of taking it apart. Mine had to connectors behind those rubber strips that pop out and twist out of the way.
Hi, i loved your video, but you didn't show us if there is a performance gain for this
Hi Richard, you may have answered your comment
It really depends on a lot of factors which that can only be measured at your location.
PLUS THE LINK FOR THE PARTS IS DEAD
Why butcher it in this way when there are external antenna points under the little rubber feet ?
To add more antennas.
Ruined!
How hard would it be to get low profile cables so you can drill at the sides or bottom?
Are those Now Modified and Now accessible Exturnally .. Do these Imputs work accross All antenna frequencys that the Already 2 exturnal ports do..
Also.
If hooking up Exterior high gain mimo antenna to the mod..hook another such antenna to already exturnal mimo connection..
Then if like me i live less then 1/4 mioe from 3 accessable/usable towers.. if i thrn aim the 2 different antennas so one is pointing to a different tower..
Can i then access Both towers at same time.. in essence adding or creating a Bonded connection..potentcially doubling my speeds ??

No. impossible.
good day sir, i have a question about m1, i have EUS m1,and sadly its been wet caused by the typhoon ursula here in the philippines, when i turn it on theres a message in the screen says " broadband is offline" and it cant detect its wifi at all, theres a buzzing sound when you turn it on. can it still be fix?
taga saan ka? binuksan mo na ba? or nilagay sa bigas?
You should keep your equipment out of the rain. It will last longer. And my answer is about as stupid as your question.
Scott C he said typhoon. Have you been in a typhoon?
@@MrTracer11lb thanks for understanding sir.
@@MrTracer11lb Yawnnnn.........
Hi dear, I have 2 questions.
I got M1 MR1100 2A1NAS (but flashed 100NAS firmware).
1. Can't figure how to make work the agregation B3(1800)+B7(2600) (Israel).
I getting B3 ~-65db / B7 ~-75db.
2. If i want to make better signal, what kind of antenna I should get =/
If I buy 2x2 MIMO and connect them to base ts9 port - will it help both B3+B7 ?
i use dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1431 to lock bands at start u have to pay a small cost but then the band changer is permanent usage
Question: Why would you do this when you already have two antennas outside (1/2)
The device is capable of 4x4 MIMO with its 4 internal antennas, however by using the 2 external antenna ports it limits the device to 2x2 MIMO. you might improve reception, but you will cut potential speed in half. 4x4 MIMO needs 4 antennas total.
@@crossgrain8964 True...Yet you can Mode the other 2 internal antennas to Accept Exturnal antennas..
Thus giving the M1 access to 4 exturnal antennas..
Especially..2 high gain Directional Diversity Mimo antennas... getting the best most consistent connection while keeping and using the Fastest Possible 4 x 4 Diversity Mimo connection
( you require specific Diversity Mimo antennas.. each of which access the tower Both in Vertical and Horizontal connection at same time, yet where one such antennas gets 2 x 2 mimo connections... through accessing and using 2 diversity mimo antennas now again give you 4 x 4 momo connection but due to using 2 high gain directional antennas..you now can get the Best Possible speeds to the tower you are accessing
@@crossgrain8964 correct. The two hidden antennas to receive freq higher than 2200MHz
@@Bris45G Band 30 to be exact
Are these antenna connections for the cell bands, the 2.4Ghz wifi bands or the 5Ghz wifi bands?
DO NOT DO THIS!!! Pull the little rubber 'feet' on the bottom. That's where you plug in the aerials.
No ! This kind of connections are good for Quad Antenna means 4 band mimo antenna +,- 45°
Doesn't it already have 2 external antenna connections on the bottom?
Yes it has 2 in bottom and 2 that he just show us means 4 connections they are good for quad antenna for strong signal 4 mimo antenna -,+45°
pretty sure the 2 internal hidden ones are for 5g frequencies and not the current 4g LTE most of us have
Its not 5G capable, HOWEVER it uses LAA with access to 5GHz Wi-Fi to increase throughput.
I think doing this might void the warranty.
Yes. definitely will void the warranty.
@@Bris45G LOL!
@@TechSeller I mean these hotspots are cheap. You can get them on OfferUP for cheap
I will NEVER destroy this little jewel like you did... Only a waste of time and clear violence just to gain views.
Violence? Do you even know the meaning of the word?
I would just buy the mofi instead.
Mofi has only two antennas and slower theoretical speed. Mofi cost $330 & M1 around $250 at BestBuy. The savings with M1 pays for two directional broadband antennas. Though I would only consider this upgrade if your signal access is extremely bad.
Yes this gives mutch higher speed. mofi has cat 6 lte and this has cat 16 lte. I'm a little pissed off they make router hotspot with lte 16 cat. Why not a regular router. As i understand this device can connect to several frequencies so you can download faster. Tested a cat 6 lte router and it was bad in speed. You can check this guy when he is testing the netgear ruclips.net/video/NkLHE-fiN2k/видео.html
I can not guarantee you will have the same speed or this fast. Mine reached 150 mbit and the other TP-link Archer MR600 40 mbit :(
So this is just for improving signal for the 2200mhz+ frequency since that’s was 3&4 are doing? My mobile provider uses 800mhz and 1800mhz for LTE, so I shouldn’t need to do this and using a couple of antennas on the external ports would do the job perfectly?
Yes. You are correct. Don't need to speed money to upgrade.
Basically its Band 30 LTE. If you have AT&T you SHOULD get Band 30
@@daimientaylor3108 No cell tower in the San Antonio TX area has band 30 :(
If I have att is this useless for me
should really show there is actual difference in signal before and after, drilling holes on the front cover of an almost 200 dollar m1 is not something you just test out
Tom Christensen I use a yagi with mine. It works. Just saw this and I’m kinda iffy about it. I want to get a second yagi for mine and have the vertical and horizontal running
@@BobbyHilll132 do you have type of yagi you have
Tom Christensen m1 night hawk yagi directional antenna. It’s on amazon for about 120
Harrison and Hailey do you have a link to the one you bought ? And you could you tell me how you hooked up ? Because I know the Yagi doesn’t use TS9 ports
Kevin Flores I’ll copy the link
Oh yay now I can buy 2 more $150 antennas
Or just build an external antenna for $5. I've built a 5 ft indoor TV antenna and went from 2 bars to 4 bars of cell signal.
@@loafandjug321 5ft...? Damn
@@User_1795 Yes, there's free plans on the internet. It's a TV antenna but I connected the M1 to it and doubled my signal strength. It cost like $5 in hardware from a local store.
@@loafandjug321 On what band?
@@YahDude Band doesn't matter because all I did is replace the small M1 external factory antenna to extend the range and boost 4g lte signal strength. Though bands were 2,4,5,12,17.
Thank God he’s not a doctor, might drill holes in your face!
haha
Thanks for providing your Ebay id.... I wont ever be buying from you
You right, the only propose is his eBay advertising, I own the Netgear LTE LB1120 I already try three different antennas, no one improve the signal, still between 2 to 3 bars of signal, with or without the antenna, so, I'm still looking for a good antenna, my internet works fine, but at peak times, where there more people connected, it is when the speed is reduced, that's the only problem...
@@maverickcuellar7737 I've tried 3 different external antennas before & in the most optimal spot in the place, that was almost as big a thing as the mod, and while i am interested in doing the mod, i wouldnt pay more than $5 for the clip in adaptor cables, and then if i did, i do imagine theres the potential for a massive gain, but only using 2 external antennas of the best tyoe i had...plugged in & from what i ascertain, they need to be at least 30cm away from each other. I see merit in the mod, but i would clip the adaptors in 3&4 and position carefully first, in the optimal place. If i noticed a doubling or something like that of speed...only then would i drill the holes and hot glue gun the connections in place. Theyd fall out so easily without a glue gun fixing in place (silicon gun would also do the trick!) but if they came undone, thered be no point to the mod. Tiny ports to click the adaptors into. I wont do this mod for $50 for a couple adaptors and a t5 screwdriver link on ebay.... if i can find a link to the right adaptors for $2, i'll plug them in.
Hope that helps people. $2 link for adaptors is all i need to know to try this before i drill this
Wow. That looks terrible
Bro, this is the worst idea
