The mounting brackets allow for rotation; for internet MIMO, I have each antenna rotated 45 degrees, in opposite directions. The U-bolts with clamps are of better quality, and the mounting bar is tough- it doesn't bend when the u-bolts are tightened down.
Make sure you get the correct variant; this one is 75 ohms with a female "F" connector., which is compatible with Wilson's "WeBoost" systems. For the Jetpack, you need the 50 ohm model, which has a female "N" connector.
All around great antenna, provides excellent service on Band 13 (750MHz) and Band 4 (1700-2100MHz). Make sure you use premium coaxial cable! The thinner, cheaper cables will drain all your decibels away!

Not an easy set-up! You will need two ppl to do it safely and to test whether your antenna(s) are pointed properly and whether they are picking up a good signal (get your mobile internet FIRST - otherwise you can't test these units).
I love these antennas - they are not cheap... And not easy to set up, BUT - once you get your ducks in a row... Wow! They work very well.
I would recommend this product. Just be ready for a project! ;)
That being said -
No, this isn't the same thing as a "repeater", this is for an endpoint, you need to connect this to a cellular router.
1.) use your smart phone (with the same carrier) and download a cellular antenna / signal app to get an inkling of where your nearest antennas are. Note, the closest one may not be the best (if there is a concrete high-rise between you for example).
2.) Make sure you impedance match the antenna and cabling to the device you are using. This is a 50 ohm device, you will need 50 ohm coax, and a 50 ohm interface on your device. If other, buy something else.
3.) Make sure you know which interface to connect to on the device.. My MOFI4500 has two ports for cellular antennas, it came with a couple of $2.00 Chinese paddle things connected. One of them is the primary, one is the secondary, they are not "load balanced" or whatever you may have in your head. If not marked on the device, look on the manufacturer's website for a schematic or search their technical support forums (or email them).
4.) I saw some garbage comments about obsession with U-bolts. Buy the installation kit. It comes with those, it's an extra $15, you get a nice aluminum mounting pole, the right hardware, and the right ubolt. Having a single ubolt isn't a problem if you follow the directions and use the backing plate correctly. If days of your time is less valuable than just spending $15 on the right parts, so be it, but don't gripe about the device when not using the right parts.
5.) Use the correct lossless cable, people seem to have problems going more than 5 or 10 feet - great, if you are sticking it next to your window and mounting it on the rain gutter. Whatever. Most of us have more complex installations, I had no problem installing 2 antennas with 2 lengths of 49.2 foot low-loss 50 ohm coax with pre-installed N adapter (about $20 on Amazon each).
6.) Don't yank on that cheap coax, that isn't mil-spec, it's made-in-China. Carefully pull it through the nooks and crannies, carefully tape up the end and use a wire-feeder rod, don't just shove it through the drill hole and don't yank it through to show off your manly strength by "clearing" the coils with brute strength. Get your butt off the ladder, walk over, clear the snags, pull it through smoothly.
7.) Once installed, I used my smart phone connected to the interior Wifi and monitored the signal status on the MOFI. I moved this about 5 degrees each time, and basically went in a 360 degree circle and marked the points where the signal was the strongest, and kept notes of my findings. Of the best signals, I did some speed testing and picked the most stable one for up & download, then locked down all the hardware. If this doesn't take you about an hour, you are probably doing it wrong. Don't assume the pointy-end of this device is the best for lobing and signal gathering, while that is the case in theory, I had much better real-world performance about 15 degrees off-target, probably because the right direction is pointed straight at the neighbor's house, and I cant' do anything about that.
8.) Make sure you are subscribing to the best carrier in your area, generally AT&T is a little better in rural areas like where I live, but we are a thoroughfare for two population centers and during commute hours the AT&T network is saturated. LTE is extremely sensitive to network congestion, so even if your signal strength is good, performance will suffer with a lot of users. In my case, AT&T = about 7 mbps, best case, I switched to Sprint and hit 80 mpbs off-peak performance and it's never under 15 (up and down). Your results will vary, not every tower has every carrier - in fact, most of them don't. Your smart phone app above will tell you that.
9.) Once you lock your target, assuming you have gone this far, you are not using the NETGEAR or Linksys cellular router either. My MOFI 4500 allows me to view and test all carriers available, and individually test each frequency band on each one. In my case, even though "Sprint High Speed" was available, it's performance was pretty bad. I have the best and most stable connection on Band 26, 700 mhz. Kind of a bummer, as my iPad Pro with a Sprint chip hits 80-125 mbps all day long.. but that's also a $1400 device, not a $49 flag antenna. It is what it is.
10.) Select the best option with various compromises for bandlock, and lock the channel. If you can aggregate carrier channels, all the better, my MOFI supports that, but it doesn't appear as though the local towers do from my testing, or my firmware on the router isn't ideal. Difficult to tell, but it didn't work in my case.
11.) Repeat for antenna #2. For the second antenna, I chose to use a Wilson pole-style one with radial arms on it and did a simple mounting at the end of the garage eave so that it was far away from the primary. The router won't rely on it, and to be honest, I saw no difference in performance adding the second, but it does smooth out the intermittent signal loss from rain, storms, etc. Using the omni-directional one, it's a plain plastic white and blends in with the architecture versus another flag that would stick out like a sore thumb at the front of the house.
The negatives...
I get decent performance, but the mounting hardware itself could be better designed. I realize it's for adaptability, but selling a few options for vertical versus horizontal flat surfaces, etc., would take out the reliance on nuts & bolts (which will ultimately loosen). That being said, if you follow the directions, it's generally fine.
I had over the course of 3 weeks tried various homemade and also purchased indoor antennas; none of these improved the signal and thus the speed very much. Speeds would average around 20 Mbps and throughout the day I would have to move the Nighthawk to another location within the house to keep this speed going; don't ask me why it would drop at times in one particular spot - that's a question for the techies. After connecting this antenna to the Nighthawk, the speeds instantly jumped dramatically. I am now averaging 42 Mbps and the family is happy that we can stream 3 movies simultaneously with no issues. To those of you wrestling with a slow internet, you know too well what those issues are as 2 or 3 people try to stream a movie or show. For some reason ( again, this would be a techie question ) my speeds occasionally will now jump up to 50 or 60 Mbps and I have seen a couple 80's.
I was prepared to spend triple the price of this antenna, which is currently at $49 ; I have even seen this antenna for $89 on other websites. I was also considering that I may have to buy a booster/amplifier ( those run some $300 and up ) but with this Wilson antenna by itself, my speeds are more than enough to keep a 3 person family happy. For the money, this was an extraordinary purchase. Sometimes a product actually exceeds the advertising - this is one of those cases. I am totally satisfied with this Wilson antenna.

I live right at the base of a mountain, and my LTE tower is at the peak, so the signal passes right over me. That coupled with a metal roof left me with 3 bars when I put my router in the window.
I slapped this Wilson antenna on the end of a long gas pipe I found laying around at work and used RG11 cable (thicker version of the common coax you see around the house). This allows it to carry higher frequencies with a little less loss. I joined it and tightened with wrenches at the antenna, used bi-seal/amalgum tape and then electrical tape to seal up the splice point. Then I pointed it antenna directly at the LTE tower. (The "Opensignal" app for Android is great at showing you where your tower is on a map.)
I ran the RG11 inside under the eaves, through the attic and fished it down the wall. From there it splices again onto RG6, then an SMA adapter to TS9.
When I plugged it in I went from:
Went from RSRP -109 + RSRQ -14 to RSRP -103 + RSRQ -8, from 3 bars to 4 on the router, and from 3mbps to 15mbps. Pretty decent for one single antenna! It would be even better with a MIMO setup (2 antennas perpendicular to each other and 2 separate cable runs to the router.
I also went with this one in particular because it uses 75ohm. (which is what common household coax uses). 50ohm will travel longer distances, but if your wiring is within 100' then loss is not a big deal.
Super happy with my new Wilson Antenna!
