Reddit mentions of onelinkmore RG58 N Male to TS9 Male RA Extension RF Coaxial Cable Connector and Two-Way Radio Applications Pure Copper 50 ohm RF Jumper Cable (2M)

> DISCLAIMER: THE M1 IS VERY PICKY ABOUT WHAT ROUTERS IT WILL DETECT. I RECOMMEND THE TP-LINK ARCHERC7 (1200 model or something) as the various d-links simply wouldn't detect the modem or the modem wouldn't detect it. This is a known issue with the R1 and R2 (the revision that added b14) models.

> Other than that and the fact it you can't use 4x4 MIMO due to network baseband restrictions (there are kits on ebay that you can use if you're in Australia where you can access the two internal antennas, it WILL NOT WORK IN THE US so don't get suckered like me and buy a kit from some ebay seller in Australia.), it's a great router for beginners that will run fine 24/7 if you use an Anker 3.0 charging adapter and keep the m1's battery REMOVED.

> The m1 has a "bug" where running it without the battery but using the OEM charger causes it to reboot every few hours and not be able to re-establish an internet connection after the power cycle. I think they did that on purpose. You need to get a beefier charger so that this doesn't happen. Buy this:

> You can also add band combinations so that you are able to lock your modem to a band, in my case the best connection was to stay on b2 instead of the modem automatically trying to get on bands with lower, stronger frequencies but that also came with less bandwidth( in layman's terms, good ping, good downstream) You will need to telnet (ie: connect) to your m1 by connecting to using a male to male usb cable on your pc and using a free windows program called Putty. It's command based but very easy to use if you know how to copy and paste and go on the sites I list below.

> I also recommend getting 2 internal yagi antennas. No, you don't have to mount them outside. I live in a 2nd story apartment and have mine pointing out of my bedroom window but they're on a simple pole in a bucket of concrete inside. (go to home depot, get a pole cut will cost you a few bucks, drove home with it sticking out of my driver window... concrete and a bucket from there are also cheap.)

> Look for the wilson clone yagis on ebay, you can get them for like $21 to $29. Positioned correctly, these WILL increase your signal and strength as long as you are using a proper band/band combo to be locked into.

> You will need (x2) SMA MALE TO TS9 MALE to connect the antenna to the m1.

I recommend going to a group page called LTE HACKS and signing up. It's a private group but they will accept you and tell you everything you need to know. It's a great community of a lot of very knowledagble and helpful people. You will eventually fall into the LTE internet rabbit hole and contemplate frankensteining routers with chinese branded LTE modems before long just to chase the speed dragon. It's intense.
