I can't believe we still have to rip these thing apart to connect an antenna.

Will buying a hotspot antenna help with gaming latency? I get good upload and download speeds but my latency sit about 60-90

[darrenmackenzie]

Any other cheaper options other than WaveForm out there that will connect to this Verizon box ?

[stevesheets]

Any other options for the ask. Verizon besides lysys...thanks

[liviesshqZ]

Any chance this will this help with ping?

Nate great video, Verizon just started offering this in my area been on TMHI since 2020, currently using as a back up to a fiber build that was completed in 2023, which as of late has become unstable in the evening prime time hours, 1gig D/U link dropping to like less than 5Mbps due to network saturation and over utilization by the provider. With the verzion Gateway, we got the gray model, just it show you bands that are connected to and any sort of tower id that its connected to, to reference with cell mapper?

Hi, just wonder can I signed up Verizon home internet then use it in mountain cabin which has Verizon service but not approved for home internet yet?

Hi

Great video - I have added a waveform and all my numbers are great except the sinr...what can be done to improve?

@NaterTater, I got the verizon ask-NCM1100 model that looks similar however, underneath the modem, it doesnt have the screws to remove and take it apart. It has a circle in the center but I cant tell if there's a screw in the center to unscrew it from there. Would you know how take apart the ask-NCM1100 or direct me to a source on how to, so I can plug in my waveform pro antenna. Thanks

Does this WNC model gateway have the same IP Passthrough bug that the "ASKey" model has?

I'm dying to use external router, but the ASK model was creating firewall clamping problems. Slow loading, some sites not connecting, on and off periodically.

Total nightmare. Upgraded to the WNC and now I'm terrified to go through the trouble of setting up the TP Link router AGAIN.

UGH.

wouldn't a cell booster work instead of doing this?

B4 2:20 ish I would take a picture of the sticker on the bottom at 1 to 1 print it out and make sure I could read it and scan the copy. then I would take the extra 3 minutes and peel the entire sticker up. 300Mbps? that sucks. 5g can do better they dont even want to spend the money to make the towers, a single location capable.

I hate to say it but that's a lot of work just to be able to hookup an External Antenna plus you kinda risk breaking the Gateway/Modem. Your best bet would be to just Purchase a Third Party Cellular Gateway/Modem like a Chester Cheetah or Chester Ninja Gateway/Modem that already has External Antenna Ports. I know Third Party Cellular Gateway/Modem's are more expensive and not everyone wants to spend that kinda money on them but they are worth it especially with all of the Features you get with them. Also Verizon needs to get with it like with how T-Mobile is actually allowing people to hookup External Antenna's to their Newest Gateway's like the G4AR.

Question if you see this and can respond. I"ve got one of the ARC-XCI55AX routers, you vids have been a huge help. Speed hasn''t been problem, it's more the stability of the connection. In non-peak hours I consistently hit around 300/15, with peak hours being more like 200/10. My bigger concern is stability, I'm admittedly in a fringe area with my 5G signal strength around -109 to -110 and LTE around -100 with a stock router. My issue is that the connection would drop for 10 second to a few minutes 5-10 times a day. I picked up a Waveform QuadPro, and aimed in the right direction I can get LTE to drop to -79 consistently but no matter where I point the antenna, I can't seem to get any improvement in my 5G signal. At this point I'm trying to figure out if I need to spend more time trying to aim the antenna or if the purchase was even worth it.

[madmicky]

dont see how its worth it for verizon....they cap you at 300 dl 20 up anyways
