Waveform QuadMini Setup & Review
Вставка

- In this video we walk through the entire setup on the Waveform QuadMini Antenna. After the setup we walk through various testing that includes using the new desktop mount, suction cups for mounting on a window, as well as the pole mount. We look at the metrics for both 4G LTE and 5G in various locations in my home using the various mounting systems. Before any testing occurred I did before a baseline without the antenna to compare the results with.

Very well done Sir...
Thank you for watching!
After weeks of issues with both antennas, I figured out that crossing the number 2 and and 3 cable at the gateway finally got me good results. The rest of the time, the signal reception was worse.
Good to know!
What does this mean
@@adriansherrod9113 honestly, I don't know
I just got the quad mini with the T-Mobile G4ar gateway what ports should I use with it?
Follow the same exact setup as the larger 4x4.

@@helphq Thank you for your help
They say this isn't directional, but I noticed that if your antenna is pointing the wrong direction, the signal is just not great. Turning it around sent the speed up dramatically. This could make a difference in window mounting.
Hmm… interesting. I’m going to check this out.
I did some testing. The results are in: ua-cam.com/video/joKHG2zhSLs/v-deo.html
In what order did you attach the antenna leads to the Invisagig ports?
Looking directly at the front of the invisagig where the LEDs are starting on the left side and working your way around to the right it goes: 2 - left side,4 back left,1 back right ,3 right side.
Thank you
if you buy the antenna only will it come with suction cups?
Yep, you get all the mounting options with the antenna. The kit gives you the window entry cable, 10 feet of SMA cable, and the U.FL pigtail adapters and a J Pole if you choose the kit with it.
Waiting for mine . Any minute now. We dont have near the speeds you have. I played COD with 2 bars and a 180 ping last night. :) I was running through walls.
Hope it helps!
Any updates?
I just got mine. No where in the instructions does it say what band should be connected to which antenna port. Thank you for covering that in your video. Antenna 1=LTE M, Antenna 2= MIMO 1, Antenna 3=5GNRP , Antenna 4=LTE D
You’re welcome, just note that the included setup in the video is for the sagemcom fast 5688w gateway from T-Mobile if you are using a different gateway then I would look at waveforms instructions on there website for other gateways. Hint: it uses the same config as the larger 4x4 MIMO antenna. Thanks for watching!
@@helphq yes that what I have . Thanks for the reply. I should note getting the U.FL connectors connected was a challenge. But spending them a little with tweezers did the trick.
Patience is key with those. They break so easily. Glad you got it!
@HelpHQ can I use two 2x2 ATT internet air to connect to this 4x4 antenna?
Yes you can use this with ATT Internet Air. You will need to disassemble the gateway to hook it up. Installation guide is here:

@@helphq thanks for the quick reply! I am using the business air, its a little bit different. It has two exposed external sma ports for antenna
Sorry for the delay I reached out to my contact at waveform because I didn’t want to provide you with bad information. They said: Quadmini will still work, you will just use ports 1 and 2 or 3 and 4.
That being said they recommended the 2x2 lpda for your situation. You can view that here:

I hope this helps!
@@helphq Thank you! I already have the 4x4 on the way, it arrives tomorrow. I'm going to see if it can support two 2x2 5G air
devices while I'm at it!
I’m interested to hear how that goes!
Very disappointed didnt do anything in my house and even though i bought a complete package incluy the window pass thru which they didnt include so had to return the piece of crap!
😂😂😂 Nothing about that antenna is sleek
It’s so sleek… lol next time I’ll just say smooth 😉
@helphq I have some friends who have one, and they love it. I'm fortunate enough to get 1.2 Gbps of speed without it.
Nice! I wish I got speeds like that.
