Antennas & Signals

The EZR35-5G router uses MIMO antennas on both 5G and Wi-Fi connections.

Last updated 2 months ago

Marks & Sockets

Please check the chart and image below to find the correct antennas and their related sockets.

The 5G antennas are marked "MOBILE," and Wi-Fi antennas are engraved "WIFI4-5." There are six embossed numbers on the top and bottom sides. 1-2-3 are for 5G antennas, and 4 & 6 are for Wi-Fi antennas.

Antenna Installation

The antenna sockets are N-K female with a center hole, and antennas have N-K male with a center pin. Align the antennas to their sockets horizontally or vertically to avoid breaking the center pins.

Turn the milled part on the antenna head to tighten or loosen the antennas. Turn clockwise to install the antenna on the socket, and turn counterclockwise to remove it.

When installing near the ocean, consider securing the antenna connectors with glue to improve protection against corrosion.


Mobile Signal Quality

Good mobile signal quality is fundamental to getting a stable and fast internet connection over the mobile network. Please choose a location for the 5G router that has a fair 4G/5G signal reception.

Various mobile networks exist: 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. The chart below shows signal quality ranges for 4G/5G cellular networks. The main factors are RSRP and SINR. Ensure RSRP and SINR have a "Fair" signal level to maintain a stable mobile internet connection. Typically speaking, 3-5 bars indicate fair/good signals and 1-2 bars indicate a poor signal that might sometimes lose connections. No bars mean no cellular signal was detected.

You can run a basic test on a mobile phone. Insert the SIM card into a mobile phone, disable Wi-Fi, and then walk around to check its network type and signal bars. Then, choose a location with strong and stable signal reception.

Definition of Signal Strength

Excellent: Maximum speed and data throughput. Good: Stable connection and good data throughput. Poor: Maintain data connection with restricted throughput. Bad: Connection drop or unable to keep a stable connection.

The signal values are negative numbers. A number that is closer to zero means a stronger signal. For example, -90 dB is more robust than -100 dB.


Upgrade Antennas

If the RSRP signal strength falls below -105 dBm, consider upgrading the 5G antennas to directional types to enhance signal reception. If using the router in an RV or boat, please use the omnidirectional antennas.

Ensure your antennas have N-male connectors and cover the correct frequency range. If you connect antennas with extra coaxial cables, use cable lengths shorter than 5 meters to reduce the RF signal attenuation.

You can also upgrade the WiFi antennas to directional types to broadcast WiFi signals to specific areas over a longer distance. Learn more about .
