How to use High-Speed Internet Gateway with Existing Router

T-Mobile H. Internet users. If you are using another router for your WiFi and noticed your speeds slower than usual , place router in AP Mode. I use a Netgear R8000p. So go into settings of your routerSelect  ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP. For Nighthawk Pro Gaming routers, select Settings > Setup > Wireless AP. Some models might use slightly different menu labels, like Router / AP / Bridge Mode. Select AP Mode. Apply!

Some trees but not dense.Cylinder mounted outdoors and only using one set of antenna ports for above antenna.Sometimes speeds are into the 400 Up range but normally 250 Down 10-20 Up. Before antennahalf of the above speed.I am very Happy with External Antenna Route.

I tried using all 4 antenna ports with using 2 panel antenna spaced 5 ft apart and it helped. Not worth the money to me unless you want the fastest speeds possible. After adding the other panel antenna now averaging 290 Up and 20 down.

MIMO antenna for T-Mobile 5G home internet gateway?

So I added another panel antenna and now averaging almost 300 down. So now I have the Poynting xpol and an Amazon purchased antenna.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CRN6HYY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_6E4PJ5XGZSAZ6P2F70SB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1Im very happy with setup. separate the panel antenna about 5 ft from each other.

External Antenna Makes Massive Difference For Me!!!

When I used a panel antenna from a XPOL-2-5G Poynting Antenna I went from 60 down to 270 down. 426 down once. If your getting under 100 down and can get n41 then you can get faster speed with external antenna. My question is has anyone used 2 external antennas for better signal and faster speeds?

Anyone ever tried all 4 antenna ports for external antenna or antennas and which antenna you used. Speed difference would be useful too.

Why doesn't my home internet work on battery?

So if power goes out for a bit you have no internet? Maybe that could be fixed with an update. Out here in east Texas power might go down for a bit but it would be nice if internet stayed working for an hour or so.
