ZTE MF286c external antenna

[S-p-l-i-c-e]

Hi All

I am looking at the ZTE MF286c router. Wondering does this router support the external antenna for better 4G reception
of the signal?

Thanks

Most time extern antenna would reduce performance due antenna not supporting MIMO. I would rather take current router and mount it outside.

But dose this router support external antenna? or how can one tell is the router can support an external antenna?

Those 2 plastic plugs get removed to connect external antenna. (you can't see the left one there, but you know what I mean)

The router's not meant for outside use though.

Check these guys' website, or make it even easier on yourself and just mail them and ask what the best option would be for your router.
I think they've got products on Takealot as well.

Indoor MIMO antenna, available from me.

I've got the same router, purchased an external antenna from Poything, but how do I tell my router now to use the external antenna? I can't find the option on the firmware or an external switch?

Firmware on these ZTE routes are horrific

Maybe I am just used to Asus routers.

Surely MTN etc can approve more decent brands other than Huawei/ZTE for their Fixed LTE?

Did you ever come right with this? Got the same router and contemplating getting an antenna too...
