Antenna recommendations

uConsole
1

Hi everyone,
I am not the birghtest in the bunch when it comes to antennas.
Looking to add external antenna for Wi-fi and 4G on my uConsole that is running CM5 CM5116000 with ParrotOS.

Any specific recommendations for wi-fi, respectively for 4G antennas? Looking for compact antennas to mount on top or on sides maybe.
I should mention also that 4G is working fine on Rex’s ParrotOS, in ModemManager GUI i’m getting around 50% signal in the apartments building, so not even outside, which is good.

Eightwood Dual Band Small WiFi… Amazon.com: Eightwood Dual Band Small WiFi Antenna 2.4GHz 5GHz RP-SMA Male Antenna with U.FL IPX to RP-SMA Female Cable 6in (4-Pack) for Mini PCIe Network Card : Electronics

This is what I ordered. I drilled a hole for it but you could buy or print a mount. This came with two antennas. I keep one in the case, and the other in my nightstand. I essentially only need it actually attached upstairs.

Thanks everyone. Was a bit busy and did not get to reply.
In the mean time, Vileer added the antenna-pack for the extension board on Antenna Pack for uConsole All-In-One Extension Board – Hacker Gadgets

So I went ahead and ordered that, because I caught the first batch, so will be shipping out in 2 weeks. Can’t wait for it to arrive ! :grin:
