Help with Archer-MR200 V2 4G signal reception
Help with Archer-MR200 V2 4G signal reception
Hello all,
First of all thanks for accepting me in this forum. I appreciate all the help from you all.
I have a 3G/4G router TP-Link Archer-MR200 V2 for portable Vodafone internet in Portugal, the 4G signal is always oscillating from maximum to no signal.
I only have a stable signal when i lock the 3G signal reception.
The technical support from Vodafone informed me that this is because I live in an rural zone and my house is exactly between two signal towers that are around 1Km from me.
Is this router a MIMO - Multiple Input and Multiple Output? This could be the cause for my signal not being stable?
Can I use a directional external antenna on this modem? What antenna do you advise me to buy?
Thank you all for your help,
Regards,
Carlos Oliveira

Hello,
Thanks for your explanation, unfortunately I don´t have the chance to change my antenna without having more costs.
Would it be OK If I just tilted it 45º?
I calculated the gain using a portable frequency analyzer, and measure the signal at 2100MHZ using the normal antenna, and then the one I bought in Vertical and Horizontal, and this gave me a signal leven difference of -7dbi in Horizontal and 8dbi in vertical.
Once again, thanks for you support

Yes orientate it @ 45 Deg.
FYI:
Cable loss for LMR400 coax @ 2100MHz is 0.20dB/m & RG58 coax used here on this panel antenna @ 2100MHz is 0.76db/m, so 5mtrs is now @ 3.8dB, that's 5.95dBi.
This works out to be -5.95dBi cable loss + 8dBi Antenna gain = 2.05dBi Total Gain
