A definite improvement
Used on ATT's AWI wireless internet router. We live in a rural area about 10-12 miles from the cell tower up on a ridge but in a forested region. Purchased the Proxicast antennas based on reviews, even though expected improvement in gain was only 5 dbi stated. (Was not too keen on getting on the roof to install Lte antennas with better signal gain if i could help it.)Initial signal strengths before adding the antennas were -109--> -115 dBm with download speeds 10.9 to 19.7 Mbps (using ATT internet speed test). Upload speeds a miserable 0.5 to 3.0 Mbps at bestWith paddle antennas installed signal strength consistently improved with much less variation despite weather changes (cloudy rainy days tended before to give better signal; bright sunny days much worse signal strength).Although initially had immediately a dramatic increase with -84 to 86 dBm strength far exceeding my expectations (imagine my glee of excitement); by the next day and subsequently only achieved -105 to - 106 dBm. Cannot explain why but currently researching. This was my initial expectation given the 5 dbi gain stated.Download speeds improved some 20 to 28 Mbps but upload speeds definitely improved & more consistent at 3 to 5 Mbps (important if you are using outdoor Blink cameras to monitor your property). Occasionally even belter for both.A few tips:1)- used the OpenSignal app (free to download) to locate the direction of the cell tower2)- the ATT AWI device sits flat on a small child's table at the window that faces the cell tower, & through trial and error determined the back of the device pointed at the tower gave best signal strength with the internal antennas before installing the Proxicast antennas.3)- the Proxicast technical page states that most cell towers have vertical polarity so recommends keeping the antennas upright, so when I installed the antennas did so keeping the AWI router in same exact location/orientation.4)-- testing internet speeds will depend in part on network congestion and time of day. (Sundays had slower speeds and Mondays in midmorning better results). Use the signal strength meter on AWI router page to determine how well you are doing. Also note signal strength can vary intermittently so it takes a while to get a feel on how you are doing.Overall given my expectations initially product works as advertised, and saved me drilling holes in the walls to run an outdoor antenna ( which I would expect would work even better-- but our needs are met) Definitely would recommend purchasing and trying as long as you have realistic expectations.... & and contain your excitement if you get a huge improvement initially the first day until you see how things settle out...;)

that they work
i loved that they matched the ones i had.I am now working from home and the equipment came from my job..i damaged one of the antennas and was panicked..but Amazon came to the rescue and saved the day. it fit and worked perfectly and delivery was quick.

No too shabby.
I have an AT&T Homebase device. It was working fairly decent on its own, but the signal was very wonky and unstable, so I decided to get this to see if they help. They did. My reception signal is stable now at three - sometimes 4 - full bars. Speeds went from around 5 Mbps to 15 Mbps download, 1 Mbps upload to 8. They're very easy to install, which I was appreciative of.I think they cost a bit too much personally, as I honestly did expect a little MORE speed? But I should alse just be grateful I can get 15-20 Mbps down in rural America. So until Elon Musk gets his Gigabyte satellite Internet up and functional, this will definitely tide me over.

These definitely increase signal strength, but placement and angle are key.
We ditched the super slow DSL that we were restricted to (2Mbps down/0.5Mbps up) in favor of an LTE hotspot router via a company that primarily caters to people who spend a lot of time on the road or in a situation where conventional high speed internet is not an option. Since fiber internet is not available in our area yet I am using this until it is.I just upgraded to these new Proxicast paddle antennas from the Panorama desktop MiMo antenna I was using to try and increase the strength of the signal to the local tower and my upload speed doubled while the DL speed jumped up a bit more than I was already getting when at peak speeds (from what I understand, most home internet plans have a cap of 10Mbps upload so this was a bit of a win for me because I tend to upload large files at times due to my business).These are 5dBi (the Panorama is 4.5dBi) and I have some 9dBi antennas coming. I'm hoping those will be able to push me over the 30Mbps down mark because I really want to be able to stream content in 4K, which requires a minimum of 25Mbps. If not, these will definitely do. Still ten times better than I was getting before the service switch.The main thing with these is that you have to play around with the angle and placement for optimal performance but once you have that dialed in you should be very happy with your increased speeds.

OK
They work well, in and of themselves. They're super overpriced so the value for the dollar sucks but they actually work so they beat most junk from foreign lands.

Signal strength dropped when installed.
First, I have NOTHING bad to say about the company that shipped these. The shipping was fast and the antenna's arrived in good packaging. That being said, I bought the TS9 adapters to use with my 4G LTE modem (Netgear LB1120) and not only were the antennas far too large and heavy for the adapters (again, not the antenna manufacturers fault) but when propped up in the propper position, these antennas absolutely degraded my signal. The modem shows "bars of signal" and before the antennas, I was getting 3 "bars" with 5 Mbps download and 9Mbps upload speeds. After installing the antennas, I got 1Mbps download and 0-1 bar of signal max. Im not sure what these antennas were designed for specifically, but they definitely dont work with the Netgear LB1120 Modem. Sorry guys, I really wanted this to work, but sadly, it didnt.

Perfect replacement antennas
They were well constructed, well packaged, and shipped quickly. Using them on Cradlepoint mobile routers.

Upload upload upload !!!!
This is a 4g and 3g antenna...not for wi-fi. I was getting 2 bars constantly without and about 11 MBS download and 1.5 up load. With a previous max of 15 and 3 on my AT&T MF279 unlimited grandfathered plan ..Its 3 bars most of the time but surprisingly speeds increased to 24 download max and 4.7 upload. It really helped over all with upload. A low upload will cause serious lag issues. It also seems to be a more steady signal with out all the jitter. I'm also a good ways from tower in rural area. Not bad for the money. Will still probably keep searching for bar number four ...why not

rocket hub antenna
I have the rogers rocket hub for internet at our cabin and the signal strength is weak. I thought I would try theses antennas but they did not work for my situation if anything it made the signal worse. May work for a different situation but would not recommend if you have weak signal and want to increase strength.
