Wireless Joint

It seems like I'm not able to hold onto the "Primary" b66 signal and that is kicking me off of "Secondary" n71 and into "Primary" B71, which is the home of bad speeds. There apparently is a known issue with this dropping 5g read somewhere and a new firmware update is suppose to work. The old ...

I do not use the trash can setup, however, I'm working with the same Tmo 5G bands. You are correct about the bands, on my setup the go to bands are 4G B66 primary and 5G n71 and when things are working perfectly it will pick up an extra band of 4G B71 for CA. If I was to guess it seems you need ...

I do have it setup that way now. I wondered if I should consider L1 and L2 as the "Primary" antenna? Is there ever a world where I point the two pairs in different directions? (one up and one straight for example) Wouldn't hurt to try to switch one are around here and there. See if something just ...

I don't have any length on the j-arm, but I think I could make something out of PVC to temporarily test that. Do you think 2 feet higher would accomplish anything? It is possible. Just to get it away from the reflections of the roof. Can read this I posted along ago. Antennas can be finicky. https ...

Another small test is to play with what Antenna lead is to what modem lead on the can. Would start with one pair going L1 and L2. The other to L3 and L4.

Wouldn't go making new holes and all that. Small steps first. Do you have enough length to just raise it up above the roof a little? Even a foot or two.

Here is a paper about the "Fresnel Zone and Cellular" I wrote up some time ago and just found it. Did a little refresh on it today. Originally compiled for a lecture I gave few years back. Maybe folks here will find the information useful. Keep in mind that I am a country hick, so grammar is not my ...
