which one do you prefer ? the above or the below?

Above got MIMO but dunno trustable and useful or not ( works as advertised)

below now got no stock @@ kesian hahhaa

omni antenna easy to setup compare tu yagi antenna
above omni, below yagi..

Yes im in lteA area, below is screenshot with and without antenna.the modem is set to 4G only.the antenna works well if its has a clear sight from indoor to outdoor and far from metal frame such as door and window grill.

Wow, that's quite impressive
Which connector type did you get?
So best location to put it is outside the house?

Total lost? I dont understand what u meant...is it total damage?

Antenna inside the house just standing on the table facing the window.i find it works better away from window metal grill. Just put it inside where it has a clear view of outside and it should be okay.im in a kampung area where there are lots of trees.but still got good signals and my e5186 is in full signals.

Connector for e5186 is SMA.best location might still be outside but i am happy with the speed im getting inside.so for me im good with the antenna being indoors.

That's doubled speed! Impressive. I used to use antenna too few years ago but result wasn't significant like this, maybe that was the maximum I could reach.

I wanna grab one too. Currently on LTE is 40 plus Mbps, hopefully will be faster with my E5186.

guys, my area is located in the center of town (Penang) and in the middle of the 4g LTE-A area. I am at 11th floor of a high rise but speed are not stable. Is there any way to stabilise the connection speed?
My normal speed can go around 18~20mbps but after few minutes or seconds will drop to 0.1 to 2 mbps.. I don't mind having slower speed (ie 8~10mbps but I need to find solution to stabilise my connection)
Please help fellow sifus.
*I am using B310 modem which is not LTE-A capable but I just want ways to stabilise the connection

bro your is your speed stable??

hv you try to move your device close to windows and test it out?
probably can get people to borrow external antenna to test out...

I bought 2 external antenna together with the modem but I dont know the spec of the antenna lols...came as a package from taobao (guess ciplak one). I already put them very close to the window but still the same problem..
Will antenna stabilise the speed? if yes might consider throwing another RM78 for this

Facing same unstable speed issue here with full bars 4G coverage. I don't think improve signal with antenna will help if you already have max and strong signal. That issue needs to be solved by Digi.

Do get one..im happy i made the decision.hope u will too.

so far so good....none of the test since yesterday yield anything below 25mb per second.

Haha total damage. Pardon my english XD

I know right ? that cant be what he meant.....he meant total lost of signals or speed but i guess when u have cheong mentality..that is what it translate to.....

Seems like we are in the same boat..is there any feedback from Digi based on your complain to them?
I also don't think it is due to signal strength anymore.. I believe better signal strength might bring about better speed but the connection should be stable even with lower strength as long as the strength does not fluctuate.. Or is there any method to lock on the signal strength?

i think although full bar but too many users in the same network...

ya, if there's a way to lock certain portion of the speed and make it not fluctuate then it will be good enough for me. haha

okayy will the omni performance same as yagi?
