Our boondocking, there was still a hooks signal for the MIMO to access where the phone lacking antennas, or just being inside could not. If you were far enough out where you couldn’t receive a signal on either, that’s where the booster shines. I spent a lot of time working through this with MMH.

With each specific router ( at least with Pepwave ) there is a mandatory rooftop antennae install connection required vs using small paddle antenna.
There was a marked difference for me using what I thought would be best connection vs following pepwaves instructions w/ my specific model of router
link / instructions were on TecnoRV site or Pepwave forum This link explains my basic idea in more detail and has screen grab of release notes to explain each router sub model
