Sierra Wireless/Netgear 760S WiFi Patch Lead

Key Features

• Connects your WiFi modem to an external antenna (FME Male).

• Heavy duty short-barrel TS9 connector

• 15cm of RG316 cable

• Helps boost signal strength and speed of your LTE 100Mbps rated device

• Sierra Wireless/Netgear 760S 4G mobile broadband hotspot has two antenna ports - use Port-1 when connecting only one antenna. We recommend the use of dual antennas in 4G areas.

Why use an external antenna?

• Next time you're out-and-about look around you - every day thousands of Australians use external antennas to enjoy fast, uninterrupted wireless broadband internet

• If you're in a rural, hilly, low signal area, or you can't get a good signal indoors there's no need to tear your hair out over slow mobile broadband crashing or dropping out half way - an external antenna is often all you need.

What does a patch lead do?

• Most antenna cables terminate with a standard connection, most commonly a female 'FME' connector

• To plug an antenna into your phone or wireless modem, you need a short cable that acts as a conversion from the FME connector to the device-specific connector that will plug into the antenna port on your device.

Telstra WiFi 760S External Antenna

• The Telstra 4G 760S device uses a technology called MIMO. This means it uses two antennas to theoretically double your speed in selected areas

• To check whether your area is MIMO enabled, or to learn more about the Telstra network, use our Telstra coverage map

• When outside the 4G network area the modem will only use one radio and require only one antenna to be connected. This antenna must be connected to Port-1 - you can find the port numbers written on the port covers.

Which connector type do I need?

• We offer the standard FME connector that you will find on 90% of antenna cables, and the less common SMA connector

• The following images will help you identify which connector your antenna cable has, and consequently what patch lead you require

• If you don't have an antenna yet, you can find what connector your antenna will have at the bottom of its description.
