✅ Antenna Comparison! T-Mobile 5G Home Internet External Panel Yagi LPDA Antennas - Which Is Best?

I installed and compared several external antennas on the T-Mobile 5G Home Internet gateway (Nokia Fastmile). Everything from cheap window suction ones to larger outdoor panel MIMO antenna. I also played with modifying the internal antennas arrangement to get a "free" signal improvement.

T-Mobile is just now rolling out 5G service and their software on these gateways (and their home internet phone app) are a bit buggy but I have faith they will continue to improve it. Right now it is a great option for those with no other reliable FAST internet. I have had AT&T DSL that gets about 25mbs down and 6mbs second up and I'll say its been rock steady the past several years.

If you have cable, fiber or 50+ mbs DSL you are probably better off sticking with that for a while until T-Mobile and others get the 5G fixed wireless fully setup and kinks worked out. This is much cheaper and potentially faster than Starlink especially for upload but Starlink covers (will cover...) all the REALLY rural places.
