Waveform QuadPro 4x4 MIMO Signal Boosting Panel Antenna Kit | External Antenna for 4G/5G Routers & Gateways | for T-Mobile Home Internet, Verizon, AT&T (Complete Kit w/ 20' Cable & Window Entry)

I don't have many Internet options in my rural setting--traditional satellite is expensive and slow, starlink's app told me I was not a good candidate for their service, so I decided to try T-Mobile. It performed ok, but I knew there was a stronger signal available outside, but how to get it?I am no tech wizard, but after some searching I found the NaterTater YouTube page (highly recommend his videos) and he keyed me onto the waveform quadpro. From his videos, and from waveform themselves, I understood that this would not be a simple plug and play installation, so I was ready for some trial and error; but to me, the effort was well worthwhile.I purchased and installed this antenna in October of 2024. The best part of the installation was that the tech support was very readily available--they helped me throughout the process and followed up to make sure any adjustments I made were resulting in improvement. Truly A+ tech support.As far as performance goes, I was able to get 100mbps/dl speeds once I had my antenna aimed correctly. A massive improvement from 10-20 Mbps that I was getting prior using the external antenna.Now that it's spring, I noticed some decline in speed, but I attribute that to increased foliage, and likely many more users in the area using the same tower.Still, I decided to contacted the support team again and they were quick to once again answer questions and provide guidance. I am back up to about 30 Mbps/d and able to stream video with few issues.If you are living rurally and struggling with your Internet connection, I highly recommend looking into using one of the waveform antennas. There is some work involved in the installation, but the support they provide is top notch, and it's truly a game changer once you get it all setup.

It may seem unusual for someone to rate a product with five stars even when it didn't work. However, it was never the fault of the equipment. I live in a lonely hole where cell signals don't reach. I actually have a cell tower less than 4 miles from my house, but I still only get one bar and not the 5G that T-Mobile promised. The WaveForm Quad Pro MiMo Antenna was supposed to fix that. However, after weeks of testing, I was never able to satisfactorily improve my signal and overcome the dreaded buffer bloat. My conclusion is that T-Mobile is overselling its 5G capability. As for the Quad Pro MiMo Antenna. It is a quality piece of equipment that comes with everything you need to mount and point the antenna. Everything that comes in the box is well made quality parts. They even provide all the tools needed to tighten and secure the mount. And the most important thing about WaveForm as a company, is their staff. They are committed and fully dedicated to helping customers receive timely technical support. They will stick with you. I tested the antenna for over three weeks and someone from WaveForm stuck with me online providing next-steps and making suggestions on improving performance every day. This is a company that stands behind its product. I would definitely buy another antenna from WaveForm if I needed it. You will be happy with the quality of the antenna and excellent customer support.

I live in Gerogia about an hour away from Atlanta. Where I am currently situated, I basically live in a ditch with poor phone service, especially in the basement. To make matters worse, the only local option for internet is Kinetic by Windstream, which from past experiences from friends and family is terrible with poor customer service. I was excited, if a bit skeptical, to try T-Mobile Home Internet and see how well it would work for me and my family.The experience without the antenna was mediocre at best. Once we figured out what the "optimal" position was for the gateway, we got around 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload on the best day. The experience was hampered by constant drops that had me second-guessing whether this was the best option for internet.Enter the Waveform MIMO 4x4 Panel. I came across this antenna looking for solutions to the problems we were having and I was immediately in love with the in-depth instructions that Waveform provided to connect the antenna to the gateway. Considering I need a decent and constant internet connection for my current job, this seemed like a no-brainer purchase, especially with other users saying it drastically improved their speeds and stability. It's a bit on the expensive side, but my mentality was that if this would work with the gateway and provide me with the internet connection I need, then so be it.I'm happy to say that this antenna was worth every penny.Like I mentioned, the Waveform online setup guide for the T-Mobile Home Internet gateway (in this case, the black Arcadyan KVD21 model) is incredibly detailed and easy to follow. Opening the gateway itself was painful and connecting the tiny pins for the antenna was anxiety-inducing (I'm pretty sure I damaged one of the connectors on the board and I most definitely voided the warranty), but once everything was put in place and the cords were coming out of the gateway, the antenna was ready to go.I was worried the panel was a dud at first because I originally put it in the backyard since that was where the only 5G towers in my area were located, according to CellMapper. While the panel was in the backyard, the speed increased slightly on downloads to 75 Mbps at most, but the upload speed went down to around 5-10 Mbps. Even worse, the drops and ping were consistently horrible. It was arguably worse than the gateway performance BEFORE I installed the panel. It was a couple of days before the start of my new job, so I was left panicking that I didn't have the internet necessary to do my job and that we would be short nearly $400 even if I returned the panel (the damage fees from T-Mobile are ridiculous!).All hope seemed lost until I discovered a tool with the T-Mobile Internet app that allows you to determine where the position of the closest 5G tower is. According to the app, the best position for the gateway was actually near the FRONT of the house, which I didn't even consider since CellMapper didn't show any 5G towers in that direction! In a last-ditch move, I decided to move the panel to the front of the house just above the garage, running the panel cable through the attic and down into the garage to connect to the gateway.Now the internet works like a dream. Connecting my phone to the gateway wi-fi, I am now getting very consistent 300 Mbps download speeds (sometimes even higher!) and around 20 Mbps upload speeds, with the connection constantly showing "Good" at the bare minimum and the SINR on the LTE and 5G bands looking fantastic. It's amazing how one change in positioning can improve the panel's ability to provide fast internet speeds. And let me tell you, this panel performs above and beyond expectations. Credit to the folks at Waveform for making this thing and providing the instructions to make it work with my current situation. Provided you have the money, tech smarts and strong constitutions needed to put this panel together, I highly recommend it for those having trouble with their T-Mobile Home Internet!TL;DR, get this thing if you want to improve your T-Mobile Home Internet connectivity! Just a few things to keep in mind:- Be sure to read all the manuals, including the one provided with the panel and the guide on the Waveform website for the gateway you are using; everything you need to know is provided in incredible detail- Prepare to sweat if using this panel with the gateway; the gateway itself is hard to open and the panel connectors are tiny meaning they can be damaged if not handled correctly (not to mention the hefty damage fees!); this process is not for the faint-of-heart or for those who are less tech-savvy- Be prepared to pay a lot of money for this; in my case, it was worth it, but hopefully this will get discounted in the future so everybody can afford it- Use the positioning tool on the T-Mobile Internet app to determine where to put the panel; once I put the panel on the outside wall facing that location, everything worked perfectly (CellMapper was not helpful in my case)- To access the T-Mobile Internet positioning tool, follow these steps:1. On the Home screen, click "More about connection quality"2. Choose the "Launch placement assistant" option3. Choose "Skip Video" after pressing "OK! Let's do this"4. For best results, use the "Share location" option; this will allow you to use the camera to get a better idea of where the 5G signal is coming from5. Choose the Camera option on the "Signal direction results" menu; the phone will then show you a fancy pink wave indicator indicating the position of the 5G signal; this is roughly where you will want the panel to be
