External Antenna 4510L

I have a MiFi 4510L which has an external antenna connection.  I would like to install an external antenna on my motorhome.  Is it a connection for 3G or 4G and does this antenna use 3G or 4G frequency?  Can anyone recommend an external antenna to use?

Interesting.
You say you are in a 3G only area but your device is recieving a 4G signal.  When I review my MiFi the LTE signal displays as "Not Available".  Perhaps something has changed in your enviornment or Verizon is testing a new tower in the area.  You might want to try restricting your device to 3G only to eliminate the hand-off scenarios that so many are having problems with.
The next day(15th) there is an article in the local paper touting the fact that VZW will have 4G running in all of it's current markets in Northern Idaho/Spokane/Eastern Washinton by December 31st.  .I am in Sandpoint, Idaho. Assume that has something to do with showing a LTE value.
Meanwhile I have restricted my 4510 to "CDMA/EVDO only"... when it works it works reasonably well, when it stops, might as well go do something else.  Since you've educted me about signal data, I've learned that when it gets really slow, the Evdo sigal changes from -75 /-80 range to something more like -100 or higher.  Moving the unit around doesn't really help when this happens. A restart does sem to help....My wife is ready to give it back(or toss it out the window), I think it is much faster than WildBlue when it is working good, but certainly not very consistent... maybe an antenna would help, there is a good read on the above referenced website about deciding if an antenna will help. I  haven't had the time to research it more yet ,...  Also hoping 4G doesn't just mean more problems like so many others report.

  • When I use a GSI external antenna for WiFi I first get a message that "Firefox is already running but not responding etc", and then Firefox crashes. Can anyone help please?

    Because of weak WiFi signal I need to use an external antenna (GSI USB wireless WIFI long range network adapter). My computer can see the signal clearly and shows that I am connected to the right network. But when I try to launch Firefox I get a message that "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." When I click "OK" Firefox tries to load websites but gives up and reports "Problem Loading". It looks like Firefox is having trouble "seeing" the signal from the external antenna. What do I need to do please?

    Try Ubuntu support, I don't think your problem is with Firefox - it will use the connection that the Operating System "makes". I'm a real noob with Ubuntu myself, and don't think I can help you figure out the problem.

  • Has anyone had any success with an external antenna on a UMW190?

    Although I am getting good service from my UMW190 without an external antenna, I am in a low signal area and would like to have rock solid coverage.
    I have tried a 1900Mhz yagi, a blade antenna, an omni, and a grid antenna.  I am not seeing any difference in signal strength at all regardless of whether or not an antenna is connected and which way it is pointed.  I have also tried two different pigtails form two different sources, and even borrowed a second UMW190 and tried it, all with no success. I know exactly where the tower serving my house is located, but I did try each of the directional antennas in a full 360 degree circle, stopping every few degrees to see if the RSSI improved. I tried both polarities too, although I understand it should be vertical.
    When  I contacted Verizon customer support they had very little information about it.  I contacted Pantech, and they told me that support for this device is now handled by UTstarcom.  UTStarcom told me that support for this device is now handled by Personal Communication Devices.  When I contacted them the response was (and I quote) "We don't have any information on any external antenna support of our devices".
    So I throw myself on the mercy of the Gurus here in the forum.
    Am I missing something obvious?  Is there a command that "activates" the external antenna connector? Does the connector even have anything connected to it inside the modem?
    Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!
    -Rick

    Usually the external antenna works best where service is obstructed  by certain materials and the external antenna is placed in a different area .  If the signal is steady for the external antenna and the UMW190 in the area where you are using the devices, that would be the general signal strength of that area.

  • Treo 700P external antenna jack

    I just recently purchased a Treo 700P and a external antenna adaptor, the adaptor does not fit my phone. When I was shopping for my phone I looked at a new Treo 700P at the Verizon store and saw that it had a external antenna jack. The jack on the new phone was much smaller than the one that is on my phone. Did Palm at some point in time change the dimensions of the external jack? My jack is gold colored and has the appearance of a mini rca jack with a center hole that takes a thick center conductor.
    Post relates to: Palm IIIc

    gjkozy, the fault is with the Vendor who sold you the phone and didn't give you a disk with it, not Palm's...
    Palm supplies a disk with every new phone that is sold.   Did the vendor lie to you when the phone was sold?  Or was it listed as "Phone and charger Only"?
    The disk cannot be downloaded for free due to the fact there are third-party, copywritten programs on each one.  These are not "free for the taking" by anyone wanting to click on a download link.  
    There are dozens of free Solitaire games available on www.freewarepalm.com.  There are lots of Voice Dial programs for sale on the internet.  Instead of spending money for the old disk, why not just purchase an updated Voice dialing program? 
    BTW, I'm assuming you know that no PalmOS phone can Voice dial through a BlueTooth earpiece.  It's a limitation of the OS.  If that is the goal of getting Voice Dial software, save your money!
    I'm sorry about the antenna problem, I have no suggestions for that.

  • Possible to mount off the external antenna of the MSI AP11B?

    Hi! I am thinking of buying the MSI AP11B Acces Point. But is it possible to mount of the external antenna, and mount another antenna to boost up the signal?
    Best Regards  

    First I want to tell that my english is very bad ..
    The external antenna basicly is a RF cable and nothing more. Put one RF conector on this short cable (aprox 5-6 cm) and attache an external antena. You must change in web settings antenna type for external ....
    Inside the AP you find a internal patch antena. In diversity mode the AP use both.

  • External antenna or weather proof Airport Express

    Does anyone have a solution for connecting an external antenna to an Airport device, be it an Express or Extreme via coax. With the insulation on my house having a metallic cladding the signal is attenuated significantly and outdoor reception is poor to non-existent (iPhone to iPad respectively). The other solution would be a weather proof box? or the like. Freezer bags don't make it.

    solution for connecting an external antenna
    Be sure to check with your HOA (Home Owners Association) first. Most HOAs restrict antennas in various ways.
    Some HOAs do not allow any type of radio transmission.

  • External antenna needed --help!

    My friend in the baja is sharing his connection w/ me but his router is in a concrete building, and my place is located about 100 feet from his place and am wondering what kind of external antenna would help me connect better?   Here is the equipment he has!   Where canI get one pronto???? Thanks
    LINKSYS,BEFW11S4, IT TAKES AN,RP-TNC, CABLE CONNECTOR, IT HAS A SCREW CONNECTOR WITH A CENTER PIN

    The Distance between you computer and router is around 100fts, i think if you are planning to buy an antenna i think it wont help you. Its better you go for a WRE54G, I think this will solve your Problem.

  • External Antenna Not Recognized

    I am having trouble with a weak signal on one of my Mac PB laptops(titanium model) when I am in the furthest bedroom from my Airport, so I recently purchased a used Dr. Bott external antenna for my AEBS (the white dome-shaped one) which has an external antenna jack. I powered down everything and disconnected the ATT modem, the AEBS, connected the antenna and then proceeded to power up everything. I still get an internet connection on all of my computers, but there is no noticeable difference in signal strength. I was under the impression that the AEBS would recognize the antenna and it would show up in the Airport Admin Utility. Is there some kind of software that needs to be installed or uploaded to the AEBS? I tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything a second time but got the same results. Are there any other Dr. Bott antenna/AEBS users out there that have done this with success? Perhaps I'm overlooking something obvious or the antenna is inoperable. Thanks for your feedback.

    These are the SoundStick speakers that connect using a regular mini-jack to the iMac audio output, correct? I ask, because earlier SoundStick speakers connected using USB.
    If you connect regular headphones, such as iPod earbuds, to the iMac's audio output mini-jack, do they work? If they do not, the problem is more general than the SoundStick speakers.
    If you connect the speakers to some other device, such as an iPod, do they work?
    As a test, you can create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    Log out and log in to the new account, where you will be using default user preference settings for Snow Leopard. Do the speakers work in the new account?

  • Problem on Cisco AP 1240AG and External Antenna

    Hi all :
    I am setting and configure the Cisco AP 1240AG with 5GHz External Antenna extension. The whole product is called iWap. The problem now is that the wireless signal amplitude only can reach 3 bars instaed of ful 5 bars.
    Please help below few questions I have for this setup and configuration :
    1. What is the default or original frequency of antenna of Cisco AP1240AG? Can a 5GHz antenna work with the AP 1240AG whereby it is run with 802.11a and 802.11g?
    2. If 5GHz antenna can work with 802.11a or 802.11g, what is the setting or configuration needed to be done at the Cisco 1240AG? Or, no setting or configuration needed because it will automatically work by default?
    Many Thanks in advance and best regards,
    tangsuan

    1240 is the product "line," 1242 is the specific model.  The come in both G and AG variants. The link below is a picture of an AG variant (with both an 2.4 Ghz "A" radio and a 5 Ghz "G" radio).  The two antenna ports on the top in the blow image are for the 5 Ghz radio, and there should be some blue text indicating as much.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/wireless/ps5678/ps6521/prod_large_photo0900aecd8031d92d.jpg
    If you don't have the two antenna ports on top, and just have two near the ethernet and console ports, then you have a "G" model, which only have a 2.4 Ghz radio.  See my pic below.  G model on the left, AG on the right.

    The 1310's either have an external antenna connector or an integrated antenna. They don't have both.
    The part number AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R requires and external antenna. AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 has the integrated antenna.

    To determine the required height of an antenna tower over a hypothetically flat, spherical Earth, it's necessary to calculate the effect of the Earth's curvature, and then add a distance equal to 60% of the radius of the First Fresnel Zone. The table below shows the result of these calculations. Values have been rounded up to the nearest foot.
    Line of Sight Distance Between Antenna Towers
    Height of Tower to Avoid Flat Earth Curvature
    Tower Height Required Over Tallest Obstacle In Line-of-Sight to Provide

    It can be seen in the table above that a wireless link between two points separated by 26 miles would require an antenna tower with a minimum height of 103 feet for an 802.11b/g radio and 95 feet for an 802.11a radio. In practice the heights would typically be 20 feet higher, or more. This is because the Earth is not smooth and flat and the tower height must be raised to compensate for buildings, trees, hills, or other obstacles. For example, in a suburban setting, with houses and small offices, it may be necessary to add 20 to 40 feet to the tower height to get over the homes, offices, and trees that would be in the line-of-sight between the two towers.
