Hello!
How to properly connect the antenna to the modem EM160R-GL?

In the mode where there is only one antenna? (If it does not damage and/or break the modem)

In the mode when there are two antennas?

I would use 1 and 4 for just 2x2 MIMO.

For 4x4 MIMO I would use 1+4 for pair one and 2+3 for pair two.

If you want to use a single antenna, you would connect to 1. But if you are only using one antenna, you could buy a much less expensive modem. To connect two antennas, use 1 for the primary and 4 for the secondary. If I were spending the money for a 4x4 capable modem, I would use 4 antennas to get the best performance. I actually have this modem, and use it in 4x4 format.

Connections 5 - 8 do not exist. I saw you posted this on the Quectel forum as well. I think you may be confused about something. Each antenna that you use will only have a single connection.
