Dear all,

I have installed an Archer MR200 router with a directional External LTE Antenna (From ISKRA) to boost the 4g reception on a remote farm. The antenna is is made for LTE routers and comes with 2 cables in order for the MIMO Technology to work properly.

I have 2 questions: 

Is there any easy way to figure out the optimal direction i should point the Antenna towards. Its on a 3 meter pole on the roof, so its not so easy to change direction and test the speed. In the admin panel of the router i can see Percentage of signal strength, but this seems to either not very accurate and is on 50% all the time. How do i find out the best position. There is no direct line of sight to the nearest cell tower, so I am suspecting the signal to either go over or around some gentle hills in between us and the cell tower.

Another question is. Now that the two antenna ports are taken by the external antenna for receiving the 4G signal. How is the wifi transmitted inside our building. There seems to be ok network, but the Antennas are on the roof.... Does the router have internal Wifi Antennas to create the WIFI network or is it using the external antennas?

Hope you can help me with these questions!
