Usage Recommendations
For on-the-go work and streaming, place the router where it receives the strongest mobile signal, for example near a window or higher up in a vehicle.

If you plan to use it in areas with weak reception, consider adding the optional external antenna (model 6000451 not included) to improve 5G and 4G signal strength. 🌍
