Since I been done this in all my modems 4G and 5G before, there is very few routers who offer the possibility to hook an antenna to improve the signal. I am seeing the sim cards in the router are under the battery (not great).
Would be seeing a possibility of access the modem without breaking the body of this device?
I am also living this post here to leave a future mod if I receive the router.
What is the problem with placing the sim cards under the battery apart from the inconvenience? It does not affect performance.
As for the antenna. I think the mudi exposes dual TS-9 antenna ports. You could connect to those ports for external antennas.
There is a big BUT with this though, cable attenuation. Beware of the losses you will incur with cabling to an external antenna is all I’m saying.
Sometimes it’s better to just place the entire unit higher in a waterproof enclosure and run ethernet to it. That’s how I do it.
This is how I did it with my Beryl AX. I removed the original antenna’s and put a SMA connector in place so I can use external antenna’s on my boat to catch harbor wifi. On the photo’s The antenna’s are removable. I have added rail mount to as it Will be put inside a panel
Ah nice. I was specifically talking about cellular attenuation when using antenna extension cabling and not WiFi.
I expect this can be done in the same way. Open the device, check your antenne connections and remove the antenna. The move the connection to outside in the housing and connect a suitable 4G or 5G external antenna.
This antennas in the first pic are not for LTE or 5G frequencies. I am talking about an external outdoor antenna.
It is great the new mudi has simple access to the sma or pigtails.
If you have the right outdoor antenna for the specific bands and frequencies in your location, there is not big lost for running 3m. of sma cable.
But yeah if the distance is more that 5 or 10m. better run another device by ethernet cable to cover all that distance.
I know I gave an example with wifi antenna’s but I expect same trick can be done for LTE, 4G or 5G antenna
