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](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B42G18JH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) 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](https://hackergadgets.com/products/antennas-pack-for-uconsole-all-in-one-extension-board) 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 ! 😁
