QuadPro 4x4 MIMO Panel Antenna | External Antenna for 4G/5G Routers & Gateways | For EE, Three, O2, and Vodafone | Complete Kit w/ 20' Cable & Window Entry

We live in a rural area in Devon UK. Our internet connection has been dire we have to use a 4/5G router and have only been getting a download speed of about 12Mbs sometimes less. I was very unsure how effective this would be at solving the problem and it's quite a lot more expensive than other options. This has transformed our internet connection and are now getting upto 50Mbs. Its a quite a bit bigger than I expected and the cable is very thick, it make our previous antenna look like a toy. Thank you waveform! Very highly recomended.

Excellent Quality kit. Really helpful support too - but sadly this did ZERO to improve my signal. Made it worse in fact, so had to return it. I'm sure it will work for some people, just not my setup.

The antenna worked brilliantly. We were getting 120mb download, 2mb upload. After installation of the antenna we are now getting 350mb download, and 25mb upload. The product is very robust, and the installation was very straightforward due to the clear instructions. Thanks Waveform.

I purchased the Waveform QuadPro 4×4 MIMO antenna to improve our AT&T Internet Air connection, and the results have been nothing short of excellent. Before installing the QuadPro, our speeds were inconsistent—especially on upload—and signal quality fluctuated depending on time of day and network conditions. After installing the QuadPro (mounted outdoors and properly aimed), we saw immediate and measurable improvements: - Download speeds doubled, now consistently around 250 Mbps - Upload speeds increased dramatically, very consistently tripling compared to before - We now see 17–22 Mbps upload on a regular basis - Signal quality (SINR) and overall stability improved noticeably - Far fewer drops, less band switching, and much more reliable performance under load This wasn’t just a speed test win—the connection feels better in everyday use. Video calls are stable, uploads no longer stall, and performance is consistent throughout the day. The build quality is excellent, the documentation is clear, and the antenna does exactly what it’s designed to do: improve both signal strength and signal quality, which is especially critical for 5G and fixed wireless setups. If you’re on cellular internet and serious about performance—especially upload stability—the QuadPro is absolutely worth it. This was one of the most impactful upgrades we’ve made to our home network. Highly recommended.

This should be the only review of this product that you will need to read. I'm serious - I'll give you the complete low down on the Waveform QuadPro 4x4 MIMO Panel Antenna Kit. Here's my story. I work for a small marine company that has been forced to endure really crappy DSL from the sole telecommunications company in the area that provides wired telecommunications infrastructure to our location (yeah, I'm talking about Bell Canada). Capped at 50Mbps, which frequently dropped to under 5Mbps at various times throughout the day, we needed to find an alternative internet source. After much research, we discovered Rogers 5G for Business Internet. Advertised as capable of up to 500 Mbps down and 30 Mbps up, and priced competitively, it seemed like the best alternative we had. But I knew there was going to be an issue - signal strength. I knew this because, aside from having really crappy wire-based communications, we also exist in a virtual dead zone when it comes to wireless signals - we get almost no signal off the Bell towers, and very little signal from the Rogers towers. But I thought, well, might as well give it a shot - Rogers offers a 30 day trial to give their service a try, and if you aren't satisfied, you can pack up the modem and send it back to receive a full refund. So, I ordered the Rogers service and the next day the box arrived with the Nokia 5G Gateway 12 router/modem and a new sim card to pop inside. I inserted the Sim, powered up the modem and waited while it attempted to lock in a signal from the tower. Needless to say, it took what felt like forever, but it finally stopped blinking - indicating it had locked in. I fired up my laptop, connected to the new Nokia Wifi and immediately pulled up speedtest.net. I could tell by the length of time it took to load the page that the speed result was not going to be great. I hit "Go", and waited. First speed test came back with 23 Mbps down, 2.1 Mbps up. Ok, not promising, but at least it connected and got a signal. I read the small set of instructions that came with the device hoping for some advice on how I might achieve greater speeds. It suggested taking the modem and plugging it in near windows (my office is all windows and faces the direction of the closest tower), but I followed the directions and tried a dozen other locations in the dealership - upstairs, near windows, closer to the far end of the building - everywhere, hoping for better results. They did not come - the best speeds I could achieve were no higher than about 60 Mbps down, and 5.5 to 7.5 Mbps up. I was disappointed, to say the least. However, I figured there had to be a way to increase antenna power, and if I could do that, I could possibly get better speeds. So, I jumped onto ChatGPT and I asked it "how can I get stronger 5G internet signals with my new Rogers 5G for business internet package?" Immediately, it suggested looking for external antennas, but also noted that my Nokia router from Rogers did not have removable antennas (which I would need if I wanted to connect an external antenna to my system). ChatGPT, if you have used it before, always suggest a handful of products - typically ranging in quality/price from best/most expensive to ok/least expensive. Nothing was different here, it offered me 5 suggestions with the Waveform QuadPro 4x4 being the highest quality suggestion, but also the most expensive option as well. None the less, I wanted the best shot at success, so I logged into my amazon account, searched for the product, gasped when I saw the price, read the reviews, understood how the technology would theoretically work.....and hit the "Buy Now" button. It would arrive the next day, and what I always love about buying through Amazon - I knew I'd have 30 days to try it out, fiddle with it if need be, and if it didn't work, I'd get a full refund - no questions asked. However, I also knew that I would need a new modem/router with external/removable antennas, and after having a second conversation with ChatGPT, I decided on the GL-iNET EX3000 Puli AX modem/router - which cost almost as much as the Waveform QuadPro antenna kit! Now, if you've stuck with me this far, we are about to get into the nitty gritty of this new setup, and your patience with my story telling is about to pay off. Everything arrived the next day. I opened up the new GL-iNet router, plugged in the rogers sim, fired it up and tried the service using the normal antennas that came in the router box - no discernable difference- still capped out at about 50 - 60 Mbps - certainly not worth a $550.00 layout for the router as it did not improve anything over the included Nokia router from Rogers. I stared at the Waveform Box on the ground, sighed deeply....and then decided to give it a go. I opened the box, gave the installation instructions a quick once over and then grabbed the mount kit, walked out the front door with my ladder in hand. We have a front entrance way arch that is about 10 feet high and I decided I would mount the antenna at the top of that arch - it kept it within 20 feet of where I would enter the building with the cabling and attach it to my new router. Installation was easy, it's basically the same arm you would get with a satellite installation from Bell or Dish or DirectTV. Mount the arm, then mount the antenna to that arm. The antenna attachment allows for easy alignment and can be adjusted both sideways, and up/down. Once I got the antenna mounted, I then ran the wiring back inside the building to my router. There are 4 antenna leads that come from the Waveform antenna, and I discovered that the way you plug them into your router matters. Lead 1 needs to go to the Antenna labelled "Main" on the router. Lead 2 goes to the DIV/GNSS connector. Leads 3 and 4 can then plug into MIMO 1 and MIMO 2 - HOWEVER, after much experimentation, I found that plugging Lead 4 into MIMO 1 and Lead 3 into MIMO 2 worked best and resulted in best speed results. The other two antenna's are for WIFI and you should simply use the antenna's provided by GL-iNet in the box for those two. Once I got all of that figured out, this is where YOUR patience really gets tested. I'm not kidding - be prepared for several hours of slow, meticulous, documented aiming of your new antenna. The first day I spent 3 to 4 hours on the ladder. Use your cell phone, connect to the GL-iNet Wifi and login to the router's configuration page. On the first page you will see your cellular connection overview. It will list things like your 5G provider, IMEI, Active Sim (yes, it is a dual sim router and you can use one or two sims), your signal strength (Poor, Good, Excellent), and Sim Card Settings. However, the page you want access to while testing your antenna direction, is achieved by clicking on the "View more Information" link located directly below the "Sim Card Settings". Once you click into that link you will be presented with all of the info you need access to in order to discover and zone in on the best direction of your antenna. On this page, scroll down to the section labelled "Cells". It is here that you are presented with LTE signal and NR5G signal results - you will use these while aiming your antenna. Now, my understanding is that some 5G systems/services might work a little differently, but Rogers system works in NSA mode (Non-Stand Alone), which means the device uses an LTE connection to communicate with the network's "brain" (the core) while layering on a 5G signal to provide the actual high-speed data download. Some 5G providers use SA (Stand Alone) systems, which don't rely on LTE signals at all, but in my case, LTE is relied upon, on top of the 5G signal. This means I need to achieve strong LTE signals, along with strong 5G signals in order to achieve best speeds. I'm not going to lie, this reliance on LTE adds an additional layer of difficulty when trying to find the best direction for your antenna. Using the "More Info" page, you will slowly turn your antenna 1/4 of an inch at a time, pausing in between each movement and hitting "Refresh" on your browser to get updated signal readings from the "More Info" page. When it comes to 5G signals, there are three main numbers you will want to look at: RSRP (This number measures raw Signal Strength) - you want the highest number (closest to zero) that you can achieve. For reference, if you achieve higher than -80dBm, you probably live extremely close to the tower and you will likely be able to achieve the highest possible speeds. Likewise, if you are lower than -110 dBM, you will struggle to make a connection, and even if you do, your results will be bad (when I was connected to the Nokia modem/router, my RSRP readings were around -113to -115 dBm). However, there are a couple of other numbers you need to be aware of, and they can greatly impact your results as well. Perhaps the most important number is the SINR number. SINR is MORE important than RSRP when it comes to achieving your best speeds. SINR measures the Clarity of the signal relative to the background noise/interference. It will not matter how strong your RSRP signal strength is if your SINR clarity result is low - you will receive crappy speeds if you don't have a good SINR result. In this regard, you are looking for numbers higher than zero - the higher, the better. So, above 20 dB and you are laughing - speeds will be lightning fast. 12-19 dB, you are in a really good spot and while you probably won't achieve maximum speeds, you can expect a decent result. 0 to 12 dB, you will possibly have a connection, but it won't be terribly reliable and you could experience drop outs or lag. So, you're aiming for 12 dB or greater if possible, combined with an RSRP between -80 to -105 dBm. There is another number that is measured called the RSRQ - which essentially measures "noise" on the signal. With this, you are looking for numbers closer to 0. If you can achieve -9 dB or better, you will be in good shape, if you achieve -10 to -14, you should still be ok for most business activities, -15 to -20 dB will cause some issues, and below that - forget about it. However, if you can achieve decent RSRP and SINR results, your RSRQ numbers will be fine, which is why you should only be focusing on the SINR and RSRP numbers while pointing your antenna. Ok, after several hours, I found my best direction for achieving my best 5G SINR and RSRP results. I had achieved RSRP of -98 (a full 15 - 17 dBm higher than my Nokia connection), and a SINR of 17 (My Nokia SINR numbers were typically under 10 dB). I got pretty excited, until I tested my speeds - not as low as the nokia results, but still in the 120 Mbps range. Not bad I suppose - double what my Nokia modem was giving me, but could I justify the $1300 spend between the Waveform Antenna and GL-iNet router for 120 Mbps?? I'm not sure what my boss would have said, but she hired me for a reason - I am a like a dog to a bone when I am trying to achieve results, and 120 Mbps was not going to cut it. So, I consulted ChatGPT again, and quickly found out that on systems like the one that Rogers uses, the LTE signal also needs to be healthy in order to achieve the best speeds. It also informed me that while I had achieved a significant improvement in my RSRP and SINR signals when compared to my Nokia results, I would not likely be able to achieve the maximum 500 Mbps speeds that the Rogers 5G system said could be possible....and that I should expect a 200 to 250 Mbps range. Ok, I would be very happy if I could achieve 250 Mbps - that would be 5 x faster than my current Bell DSL connection that provided 50 Mbps at the best of times and only 5 Mbps at certain times of the day! But right now, I was only getting 100 to 120 Mbps. But it was getting dark, so I decided to leave it for the following day. That night I did a little more research and discovered that finding that sweet spot where LTE signal was good AND 5g signal was good could be very tricky to find. I don't really understand technically why this is, but apparently these signals can travel at different heights?? Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either, but the advice I kept seeing was "slide the antenna up or down a foot", and try adjusting the angle up or down for the antenna a little bit at a time to find the sweet spot. Yeah, I wasn't looking forward to this either - I foresaw several more hours on the ladder. The next morning I climbed the ladder again, re-connected my phone to the wifi, logged back into the wifi admin page, and clicked on "View more Information" to get started again on re-positioning my antenna to obtain the best "combined" signals. When it comes to LTE signals, you're focusing on the same two results again - RSRP and SINR - and you are looking for the same results - the higher these numbers are, the better. What you will quickly realize is that once you find an amazing LTE result, you will most likely discover that your 5G result is not so great anymore - not necessarily unusable, but essentially the result flip flops and you still end up with less than optimized speeds. I played around with this for about an hour, with no great result. So, I decided to try the recommendation of moving the antenna up a foot. Surprisingly, this did make a difference - I was able to get much closer results between the LTE and 5G signals, BUT, the fine-tuning really happened once I got the direction right, and then I started to adjust the up/down angle of the antenna. I found that I needed to angle the antenna upwards about 15 degrees before I realized the optimum signal strength and quality between the LTE and 5G cells. In the end I achieved LTE RSRP of -99 and SINR of 17 AND 5G RSRP of -99 and SINR of 14. These results have produced download speeds up to 265 Mbps and upload speeds up to 26.5 Mbps. These results can vary through the day due to traffic on the tower, but I never drop below 100 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. I will also mention that LTE and 5G bands matter - look into it. In my case, the LTE band always wanted to lock in on Band 66, but I found that I get better speeds and LTE signal rates on Band 2. Likewise with 5G, it would lock in on Band 78 sometimes, but I get best results on Band 77. So, I used the "Band Masking" settings located under "Sim Card Settings" to block out all other bands other than Band 2 on LTE and Band 77 on 5G - thus forcing the modem to lock onto Band 2 and Band 77. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would have been able to achieve these speed improvements without the Waveform QuadPro 4x4 MIMO Panel Antenna Kit. It helped me achieve much higher signal gains than otherwise possible, and proved to be worth it's high cost when compared to it's competitors. This further re-enforces the old adage "you get what you pay for." There is one side note I would like to offer here. Most of the modems that come with these 5G services that have internal antennas - you can typically take them apart, find the internal antenna plugs/connectors and purchase pigtail adapters that you can run to the external of the antenna, which will then allow you to plug in the leads from the Waveform QuadPro. I was able to achieve this, which I had initially hoped would allow me to return the GL-iNet router and save myself $550.00. HOWEVER, even though I could get the external leads plugged into my Nokia modem, I ran into other issues where the Nokia firmware did not give me the ability to configure the settings that I had access to on the GL-iNet router. However, it is possible that you will not need access to some of those settings, and if that is the case, those pigtails are usually only about $10 for the pack of 4 - which is a hell of a lot cheaper than the $550 you would spend on the GL-iNet router. Bottom Line - This Waveform QuadPro Antenna Kit is second to none! If it cannot improve your signal/data throughput, then I highly doubt any other product can either. Buy It! You won't be disappointed.

tl;dr - very well engineered and thoroughly thought-out product. It can help you a lot if you really need it, and even help some otherwise. I opted for the "complete kit" which included 40 feet worth of cabling and a window adapter. The product itself comes very well packaged and protected. Cable ends and any exposed bolts on the mount are covered with soft rubber "nibs" (?). Boxes and packages are well labeled. Documentation is very good, meaningful pictures and diagrams included. The hardware that comes for mounting is excellent, they ship multiple sizes of wall anchors and there is an extra or two for most bolts. They even provide wrenches, real ones - the 10 mm wrench has an open end and flexible socket end (which I could have used last week when replacing a car battery in our Honda). There are multiple sizes of wall anchors for mounting. The cable itself is well-insulated and the weatherproofing boots are solid (much better than the ones I got with some home cameras I bought). I'm guessing Waveform really, really does not want me to return the product. And the way they accomplished that was to make sure I had just about everything I needed to pull off a successful install. Ok, so... does it work? Yes! I live in North Texas and my house has a bunch of trees around it, which is awesome for shade, not so much for raking and cellular reception. I am on TMobile 5G home service using C660 gateway. The south side of my house, which faces toward the cell towers, does not have a useful window for me to put the gateway. The least bad place I found was a high spot in my living room, and the download speeds were okay, but the upload speeds were atrocious. Here are three speed scenarios. The first is the default of the gateway in the living room. The second was to put the modem outside near where I mounted the antenna. The third is the antenna. Scenario 1 - Gateway in living room, not near a window 322 Mbps download, 4 Mbps upload LTE received signal strength: poor Signal Received Quality: 5G good, LTE excellent, Signal Received Power: 5G poor, LTE poor Interference to Noise: 5G poor, LTE poor Scenario 2 - Gateway outside 500 Mbps download, 41 Mbps upload LTE received signal strength: good Signal Received Quality: 5G excellent, LTE excellent, Signal Received Power: 5G poor, LTE poor Interference to Noise: 5G excellent, LTE good Scenario 3 - Antenna 581 Mbps download, 69 Mbps upload LTE received signal strength: good Signal Received Quality: 5G excellent, LTE excellent, Signal Received Power: 5G good, LTE good Interference to Noise: 5G excellent, LTE good So, gateway in a bad place is bad. Gateway in a good place is much better, but even in my best case scenario, the Waveform had 10+% faster download and 50+% faster upload speeds. Some tips for folks who are installing this: - I attached the mount to a roof soffit. The provided anchors didn't work well because there wasn't enough wood for them to really "bite" into. Toggle bolts worked much better for me - When joining cable ends together, make sure to use the 8 mm wrench to tighten the connection before sliding the waterproof boots over. The boots take enough force that they can undo hand-tightened connections. If you see your benchmarks drop all of a sudden, this may be the cause (it happened to me) - Buy the window entry cable, even if you are not going to run the cable through a window. I spent a day or so piloting the antenna in different places around my house, and the window adapter can also be used to run the cable under a door (so you don't have to leave the door open while testing) - All of the cables have 1-4 labels, which is good, but they are not color coded or anything like that, so you really have to look carefully when connecting things - The well insulated cables do not flex a lot, even the ends that go into your gateway/modem. With TMobile's C660, the wires mount pointing up, so you will need to find your stand if you are not using already, and you will have to apply some gentle but firm force to get the cables positioned

This is a beefy antenna and I like it a lot! It's much larger than I expected, but it looks to be very well built. I ended up mounting it near the peak of my roof as the network metrics seemed to be best there (more below). On top of producing a quality product, these guys are really proactive with their support! As soon as you register and give them your address, they automatically do a site survey and text you an annotated picture of your roof with the nearest tower location noted. They also select the tower they think will give you the best signal so you'll have a good place to start. We have line of sight to a TMO tower, and it's pretty close, so I don't think our speeds are common (and that was the peak speed, we usually see 250-350mbps). But you can see all of the network metrics from the internal antenna sitting in the bedroom window jump when switching to the QuadPro! It's not cheap, but I'm saving $100/mo but switching from Cox to TMO, so it still makes financial sense IMO. Add a size note, if you have T-Mobile home Internet I'd highly recommend download "Hint Control". It allows you to login to your router and view the network metrics real time when trying to position the antenna. It was really helpful!

I live in a very rural area where cable internet options are non-existent and line of site to a local cell tower is almost impossible. The only cell service we get with any kind of reliability is T-Mobile and we could get two bars on a good day. We have been fortunate enough to get good satellite internet service, but it isn't cheap. I work from home as a Global IT Director and needed a connection that was solid at all hours of the day and night, and where local home internet use (multiple TVs, multiple devices) didn't impact the bandwidth I needed. I purchased the Waveform QuadPro 4x4 MIMO Signal Boosting Panel Antenna Kit with the hope of being able to boost my T-Mobile business internet connection to meet this need. After receiving my kit, customer support reached out to me to make sure I had received everything as expected, and to offer their support in getting everything set up. I was facing challenges in finding the direction to the right cell tower that would give me the best service. They performed a survey of my area and provided a map showing where the towers were and what kind of speed/service the towers were likely to provide. With their help, I was able to find a tower that would connect to the n71 5G band and the n41 600MHz band and it was generally stable. It took a fair amount of adjusting to find the right height, directional angle, and overall positioning, but with the support provided from Waveform, I was very happy with the results. Over the course of several months, they reached out to me asking how things were going and if I needed any support in finding a better signal or anything else related to the kit i purchased. I did have to reach out to them a couple of times, even after their normal support hours, and I would generally get a response within a few hours. I have never had any kind of company or vendor do this beyond the initial 30 days. I could keep going on and on about how happy I am with the product and service I received. The product was fantastic. It performed and did exactly as advertised, and the support team is second to none... and I tend to be pretty hard on technical support teams. They have gained a life long customer!!
