Made a massive difference!
Live only a couple or so miles from a town but have no phone or broadband for internet. So much for the government drive to give high speed internet to all? So use a MiFi router. Trouble is the signal is terrible inside my home. Tried a couple of other internal and external antenna but they did not improve things. This one has made a massive difference! Went from 1 or 2 meg, to 20+, sometimes 30+ meg! The signal strength on the router can drop and fluctuate but the actual speed seems to remain high. Can't believe I have finally got some reasonable internet speeds after months of trying. Would recommend you use an app to find the best position for signal strength as even a change in position of and inch or so can make a big difference to your speeds. This was true for me regardless of the antenna used.Disclaimer:I was not offered and have not received any incentive for purchasing and reviewing this product. This review is a genuine statement of my experience with using this antenna.

Small neat and effectivel
Seems to work well in the drive.In Scotland it might not be so good.We shall see..

Reduces signal strength rather than boosting!
It's advertised as a 2x2 MIMO 4G LTE antenna with 5dBi gain suitable for EE network. I'm using it with a BT/EE Hybrid Connect 4G LTE modem (it's a backup for the fibre modem in case it goes down).This antenna provides significantly worse performance than the modem's internal aerials do. I did several tests using both modem alone and modem with aerial in 3 different positions. Inside on a shelf where the modem needs to be, I get -110 dBm without aerial and -110 dBm with aerial (the same). Outside on a table I get -100 dBm without aerial and -102 dBm with aerial (a 2 dBm reduction). On the wall where I want to locate it, I get -104 dBm without aerial, and -106 dBm with the aerial, also 2 dBm worse.It could still help me in that I can't put the modem outside, so I do get an impovement by having the aerial outside, but it's performance leaves a lot to be desired. I'm still deciding whether to return it in the hopes that buying a more expensive antenna will give me better performance, I just don't know yet, but I thought I'd write this review in case it helps others to decide.

It works
I'm not an especially techie person, but I get a metal camper van is a giant Faraday cage for 4G signal. So I tried my 12v EE modem with this aerial fixed to a strong magnet on the side of my Ducato camper. Download speed in my rural garden with pretty poor reception was 23mbps, upload, an impressive 10 Mbps. That was plenty to watch BBC iPlayer on my van's smart TV. I then brought the aerial into the van, by a window, and the rates halved to 10 Mbps and 5 Mbps upload. I then used my phone inside the van and it was 7mbps upload and 3mbps download. So, this little aerial doubled my upload and download speeds when it was attached to the outside of my van. My phone, outside will get a 20mbps download and about 5mbps upload, so the aerial doesn't miraculously turn a poor data speed into a blistering speed but it hugely improved my modem. EE is, in my experience, the best network frequency for data reception and this is due to it being on a longer wavelength than its competitor networks, which is a pity as EE is so expensive for data.In conclusion, well worth the price. I'm not fixing the aerial permanently. I'm using a North Core wetsuit magnet to fix the aerial to the van when I need it. I did need to drill a 4mm hole in the middle of the steel plate and I do wish the aerial leads were twin core rather than 2 separate wires. The North Core wetsuit magnet fixing is plenty strong enough to drive with. It's 2 twist on coaxial fittings and fix the aerial. If you have two opposable thumbs you can fit it.

Has to be mounted high on MoterHome Roof
Great product when it worked. Originally i placed this on my MH roof directly, but found that in some signal areas it lost signal easily, so next i mounted it HIGHER on my roof rack on its own pole, making it approx 10" higher than directly on my rooftop. This helped in the weaker signal area's on some Campsites and Off Piste area's.Current thinking now is to replace it with a Poynting WiFi aerial as i don't like the fact that it is sitting proud above all other roof top mounted things.It worked well in STRONG WiFi area's when it was lower, but..........!

Small, inexpensive and effective - don't forget router settings!
Attached to the outside of a metal shed using the supplied sticky pad. Signal strength went from a slightly unstable 65-70% to a solid 100% using a TP-Link TL-MR105. There's now a reliable connection to a remote CCTV system. Just don't forget to select 'External Antenna' from the router advanced settings.

It works very well!
I checked a few videos on Youtube to confirm before purchasing as I've had a different aerial for around 5 years now and it was starting to lose signal.Overall, I'd say it's decreased my ping and added an additional 10mbps! Very well made and took all of 5 minutes to install. One of the best purchases I've made to date!

Improved the signal somewhat.
I live in an area with poor reception and this has helped a bit and that was all I was hoping for.
