Now have steady ATT signal strength inside my home
I purchased this single Tupavco TP514 Yagi Directional Antenna 3G/4G/LTE 9dBi 800MHz-960MHz several months ago and have been very pleased with its performance. It is mounted on a discarded satellite dish mast (the short one that has a "side-of-the-house" mounting plate for the mast that extends from the plate horizontally, at a slight upward angle, then bends to a short vertical mast) on the gable end of my house at the roof fascia. This directional antenna fit perfectly to this type mast. The Tupavco antenna has a direct line of sight to our ATT antenna, which is a couple of miles from our home in a rural setting. I was getting 1-2 (variable signal strength) bars on my ATT Nighthawk Hotspot Router from inside my home, making my ATT internet service not very dependable, but now I am getting a consistent 4 bars signal strength. It has made a world of difference in the stability and strength of the signal my Hotspot Router now receives. The hardest part of installing it was not mounting and aiming the antenna (easy!), but obtaining the specific connectors to transition from this Tupavco directional antenna to the RG6 cable then back to the Nighthawk Hotspot antenna connections. There were no instructions for these connectors with this antenna. The difficulty running the cable through the attic/ceiling/wall will vary per your home, so plan ahead and make sure there is a feasible route to run the cable from outside your home, which probably shouldn't be more than 50 feet (increasing signal loss will occur for longer cable runs). But, it works now and I am pleased with the steady increase in signal strength I am receiving with this Tupavco directional antenna. I don't see a need to install a second unit (as some have done), in my situation, as my signal strength is quite adequate with only one Tupavco unit. Had the distance to the ATT antenna been further, I probably would have tried two. Yes, I am very pleased with this antenna's performance vs. the price I paid for it!

Great
used to extend range to the garage, thru a concrete building, improved thru put from 1MBs to 10Mbs compared to pencil antenna of the 900MHz repeater. Good stuff.

Improved Signal for Netgear LB1120. Order two.
I'm connecting to T-Mobile with these. With the LB1120 in my basement, I got 1-2 bars of signal on B2. Hooking two of these up, still in the basement, brings me to 3-4 bars of signal on B4 (AWS). They're screwed to the floor joist, one turned 90 degrees, pointing in the direction of the tower and slightly up. The RG58U leads are just long enough for this sort of installation. The included TS9 adapters work fine with the LB1120, but there is not positive retention. They come out very easily.This listing is for a single antenna. You need two for LTE service.

Working ATT signal where none existed
I took a shot and bought two of these and run them side by side at a 45 degree angle. I tried them real close together at first providing me an avg 13 down and 3 up but now I get a constant 22 plus Down, 10 plus Up with them mounted along a soffit line about 1 meter apart. They are connected to a KuWFi 300Mbps 3G 4G LTE Car WiFi Wireless External Antenna Router Extender Strong Signal Car WiFi Router with USB Port SIM Card Slot with 4pcs5dbi Antenna Support AT&T I have a laptop, smartphone, and two FireStick TV's attached with great streaming results, Amazon Prime and Netflix run unimpeded.

Increased DL Speeds, reduced Upload Speeds!
I am not sure if I need to be happy or sad here. The download speeds almost doubled from 7-8Mbps to 15Mbps consistently. But my uploads fell from 8Mbps to 3-4Mbps after attaching this antenna. Not sure if I am doing something wrong here but tried to do everything right by mounting it as described, pointing it to the nearest cell tower and making sure I get the best possible signal by tiny moves and waiting 30 secs to make sure my equipment is picking up the best possible signal and measuring it. I recommend it with this cevat that your experience may be different.

Good antenna
Not much to say it’s very simple, boosted our speeds and its holding up well outside. So it does everything it’s supposed to for pretty cheap.

Worked for about 2-3 months
This antenna worked for about two months, improved signal from -89dBm with an omni to -79dBm with two of these antennas pointed at the closest at&t tower. Over the course of the last two months however the signal has steadily been getting worse, as has my internet quality. I figured it was the modem, so I replaced that. Then I figured it was the antenna cables, and I replaced them. Finally I decided to replace the antennas, and my signal with a couple of different antennas is down to -73dBm, better than even when these antennas were brand new!I've yet to take apart the antenna itself, but I expect that moisture has gotten inside and caused corrosion on the poorly made internal connections. I recommend staying away from these no-name brands, stick with a name brand if your livelihood or kids school relies on this for your rural internet solution.

Buy 2
I bought two of these and mounted them at the 45º and 135º orientations to catch the proper polarization. (You need two because LTE signals are MIMO - multiple in, multiple out.) I saw improvements of over 20 dBi, and a speed boost that went from ~15 MB/s on the download to ~80 MB/s. Works like a charm!The only problem was that my device required SMA male in, but this comes with RP-SMA male connectors. I had to get an adapter. Check yours to make sure.
