HUAWEI 2 X External 3G/4G Antenna for HUAWEI B315, B593 Router- Increases Signal Strength

I had a stability problem and slow upload speed with my BT4G Home Hub with EE card. These Antenna are easy to fit and they have solved the problem. Upload speed has increased from around 2mbps to 8/9mbps. A slight increase of 2mbps in download speed but, fingers crossed, the frequent need for rebooting has gone.

It does work as promised this coming from someone who line of work is in IT field. Just received it and very relieved I didn't experience of those things said in negative reviews. INLCUDED BELOW IS ADVICE TO SPEED UP YOUR NETWORK. All my devices where on whilst conducting the test to get a real life application.Initially was getting 3-4 (4G Signal) Bars and a very unstable connection from my stock Huawei 535 4G router from Three (my ISP). Max download was 16Mbps and Max upload 20Mbps which is ok but for someone who has gaming consoles, gaming pc, multiple smart speakers, lights, various casting devices for entire family and other peripherals (over 20 total) it was definitely not up to scratch. I have some photos of the three tests conducted.Searched the internet for weeks and saw many bad reviews about this and many similar products but with everything being internet based since Covid19, I was desperate for a quick fix 😄.I said to heck with it and went with this external antenna. Just literally installed and works no configuration necessary. I am getting 30Mbps more download and 10Mbps more upload. I have three pics of three test conducted.So what I did different,1. When installing any new hardware on a device power off and unplug the device.2. Screw in the both antenna, ensuring that they are fully in.3. Power on your device, observing that the colour led turn blue green. If solid green then you aren't getting proper 4G signal but getting 3G which isn't a bad thing but always go for blue green when using Huawei 535.4. Allow a minute or two for devices to connect automatically and the connection to stabilise. The blinking Led will go solid. Which is the third led from left.5. Download Speed test app and run three speed tests.6. Orient the external antenna in various positions to catch the best 4G signal. I have mine one horizontal and the other vertical. As seen in pic. I immediately saw a stable four 4G bars turn to solid stable five bars. Test again.If you live in a densely populated area and receiving good to great signal but unstable connection. Use NetX app or any WiFi Scanner app to determine what channels are overpopulated with connection and set your modem (through the settings) to a channel that is least or not populated at all.This should help a bit. Some people separate the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands but I find that the hybrid offered by the Huawei works best for me.Speak to your neighbours and set their channels also to ensure everyone nearby is on a separate channel.Keep the router in the position that it receives the best signal like near a window. Also search cellmapper to find out where your celltower is and position in the best line of sight from your celltower. If your house is large buy a WiFi router that can be used as an access point to spread connections with larger homes.Use network cables to connect devices that can use cables. WiFi signal bandwidth is split between devices whilst cabled devices don't have to share.

It's unclear how big a difference it'll make it practice, my download speed does seem abit faster though, with it usually around 2.5mbs on steam. Image shows it around 3-4mbs after installing antennas. Speedtest shows increased speeds with antennas on most test, the reason there is a varience is because I moved the router around the house and antenna position, weirdly I had the best speeds with antennas pointing straight back (in image). If you plan to buy it may be best trying different positions to see if there is an increase to speeds because in my routers original position the speeds decreased when I first put them on.

Although you get a twin pack and you only need one for my router I still bought the item after reading the the reviews thought I’d try them and to be quiet honest it seems to have made a difference to the stability of the signal, it does make a difference to where your router is placed in your property.Told a family member who has same router gave them the other aerial and it’s helped them too ,so I can only say good so far.

Product is ok and it didnt work for what was ordered for. But am not happy because this seller has gone over 14days of refund date from the 1st of July up to date the 19th no respond of the returned date from the seller or any update

Works better with them

I was getting 5mb at my home then it boosted it to 12-15 very happy. I gave one to my mother and it was the biggest improvement from 3-15

We used these for a few weeks and yesterday I ended up removing them from the router. Immediately the signal increased from 2 bars to three and we achieved over 10mbps. Whilst the aerials do seem to increase the stability and consistency of the signal unfortunately they also reduce the signal strength and bandwidth we got from the router. Yes it does change if we move the router around but the cable is so short it makes little difference. A bit disappointing.
