ADOC R45 has two SMA connectors on the back. You must use an antenna for 4G networks without gain.

Once you install it, if the outdoor antenna receives more network capacity than the indoor one, the device automatically switches.

I'm not sure a different router would improve things if you're getting similar on your phone and router when it's in a window.

If an Omni antenna is not helping them it points to the possibility that your signal is not only out of line of sight but also possibly being reflected on its way to you.

The problem is, directional antennas can be a pain in the ass to align and keep aligned with reflected signals.

It is however extremely odd that using an external antenna doesn't improve things by a noticeable amount compared to an internal antenna so I'm a bit stumped...which is why I was wondering if your router is like the Huawei ones where you have to enable the external antenna ports.

No they say not. They say it'll take over. The issue is my phone in same location as antenna will get 30mbps and antenna 20mpbs. Thats what confused me.

I'll get it on the roof and see what happens.
