KUMA PRO 5G Antenna for Router Modem Gateway Mobile Hotspot - High Gain Omnidirectional 2x2 MiMo LTE 4G Antenna Outdoor for Caravan Motorhome - Compatible with Vodafone EE O2 Three - SMA Connectors

Works well at caravan in Berwick where signal is poor

Having searched the forums for suggestions for a RELIABLE mobile internet set up for my boat, I went for a Huawei B535 Router and needed an external antenna to support it. Many people were suggesting the Poynting but I preferred the aesthetics of the Kuma. Well, looks aren’t everything and the signal was non existent! Thankfully, I’d also purchased a Poynting XPOL and after swapping the leads, the difference was like night and day! From 0/5 signal Bars to 4/5!! So, if you’re looking for a good external antenna to support a mobile SIM card router avoid the Kuma, it’s absolute junk!

Installed easily, instructions very simple. Took my 12 Mb/s download speed to 38 Mb/s used with Kuma connect lite 4g on EE . Good quality coax, Sadly it needed SMA adapters as they are different connections despite being the same brand that’s why I gave it four stars.

It’s the best buy it really great signal

Hard to get signal in rural areas but all in all ok

Kuma E-zi directional antenna . After speaking with Kuma customer service I took the plunge to purchase the E-zi antenna as they assured me I should see better speed than the puck that was included with my KUMA CONNECT PRO – 4G CONNECT LiTE Router + 4G LTE Roof-Mounted Pro Antenna kit , the E-zi was not available when I purchased the connect pro. From start to finish the installation was easy just make sure you use an app to find the direction of a mast and then aim the unit in the right direction and check your app for a speed test then in small increments move the E-zi unit and do another speed test once you are happy that you have the best figures you can get gently tighten the unit in position. I have given 5 stars for ease of installation and value but only 4 stars to weatherproof as I haven’t had the unit outside that long but should there be any problems Kuma offer a 2 year warranty so no need to worry . The attached figures show my Connect Pro with just the internal antennas fitted (top figure) then with the omni puck external antenna (middle figure) and then with the E-zi directional antenna (bottom figure) . Based in rural Devon with no line of sight due to the rolling hills , very impressed this is one item that won’t be returned to Amazon and a much better internet connection than BT broadband, SIM card used was Vodafone but have also ordered a sim from smarty to trythat . If your in doubt just contact Kuma customer service if only all customer service’s where like them , excellent.

One would expect that when buying a item supposedly compatible with the main control unit, that the connection terminals would be compatible, alas no , I installed the antenna in our caravan only to find that both the antenna terminals and Kuma control unit terminals were both male, and non conectable thus rendering the unit useless, I ordered the required connections and have to await a later visit to our caravan to see if the unit delivers????

Aerial only up a couple of weeks and sealant around box coming away.
