How do I connect this yagi antenna to the mifi?

Note that the cable should have a short adapter cord which connects to it. The very small end fits into a very small port on the MiFi. This port is very small and has a rubber plug which needs to be removed. On my MiFi, this port is almost immediately left of the "blinking light"

You must run a supplied cable from the antenna to a location in your home and connect to your mifi. My mifi is located in a closet in the west end of my home and serves two computers and my iPad. I am 100 0/0 satisfied with the antenna and with how it has improved my reception .

The first thing to do is take the yagi antenna and the mifi to an electronics outlet and obtain the appropriate connectors to attach the yagi antenna to the appropriate length and type of coax cable and then to the mifi. It is best to mount the antenna externally (outside the house/building) in a clear area. The antenna is directional, so the antenna has to be rotated to point in the direction of best reception (maximum number of bars on Mifi). If you don't feel comfortable doing this, and the question indicates you aren't confident, suggest you 'goodle- how to install a yagi antenna', call a friend to help or hire someone to install your antenna.

Heck, Dusty, I don't even know what a MIFI is! I've got mine connected to the original Trendnet-652 wireless router. I thought I was "replacing" the old one, when actually this is just a booster. It gives me enough "juice" for me to watch my Netflix shows on my TV.

Yes. There is a connector for an external 2.4Ghz antenna. Insertion activates a micro switch that disconnects the on-board antenna. I did it for my Yun and it seem to have added a 3-4 dB to the RSSI I am getting from my AP (checked with the advanced configuration page). My antenna wire is less than 5 inches long. I do not know if you will get good result with a longer cable. For connector information: http://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/525/arduino-yun-external-antenna

It should work. That is what a bridge do. Just enter your ssid and authentication key to connect to your mIFI hotspot.

Aloha, I don't know the equipment you have mentioned in your question ( 460101 DT 4G / booster ) but this yagi ,or directional pointer/ antenna? It was our saving grace when the booster we had purchased just wasn't enough. Get it as high as you can, point it at the nearest Tower and it will increase your range of reception. Hope this is helpful for you. Kaboonshi

There should be enough slack in the present antenna cables to reach the connectors. They don't shift far. If your cables turn out to be too short, you can always buy new antennas here, but installation will be somewhat more involved. Pair Laptop Wireless Mini PCI PCI-E Internal Antenna

Yes you can, I am using the Yagi antenna with a 3g zboost and it worked great with the splitter that came with the 4g unit.

You haven't said what radio you own and if it has an input for a medium wave antenna, if it doesn't you simply place the antenna close to the radio and you use the tunning knob on the antenna for best reception. You should also rotate the antenna slowly. In case the radio has a mini plug input for that antenna then you have to get a mini to mini cable and connect it that way.

Should work fine still, you just will not hook up anything to the third antenna connection(typically grey). You should have a white and black antenna cable though, use both of these. Your range may be reduced though and link rate may be reduced do to decreased stream capacity, because you won't have the grey(MIMO antenna).

In the instructions, it says and shows to plug in at top of unit. Open the little rubber flap next to antenna.

I believe you are referring to the antenna plug. This is a wireless router, what you need in this case is a cable modem from your Internet Service Provider.

You're in luck. The Wifi does not use the pci-e slot. If you zoom in on the picture you can see that the antenna connect at two coax points on the board. This is literally all you need to do to set up the Wifi.

Not familiar with mifi... watch a youtube about some guys in France that set up an entire wireless network to be able to fly about a mile. Took 'em a whole lot of hardware. Best of luck.

Unscrew the antenna from the USB WiFi booster. Connect the female end of the cable provided with the Bolo antenna to your USB booster. Finally, adjust the Bolo's azimuth and elevation by eyeballing line-of-sight to the transmitting WiFi source or adjust it to the highest signal strength (number of bars).Those steps ARE REQUIRED for this antenna to operate to it's proper efficiency. Believe me, if you set it up properly, it will perform fine! I'm using mine at this moment from 1/4 mile away with the same setup as yours! -Mike

I did not have a link. The pins in both the reciver and the transmitter need to be set the same. Works easily.

It will need an adapter to go from antenna to Mifi. The connection of antenna to adapter, just screw together, but the connection to the unit it somewhat flimsy. I don't see where any pressure on the adapter to mifi would be good. I tied it off to the unit w/ Velcro. After that it works well.

I only see one option listed in the user manual. It is model GSU-5H. My CP190i is mounted on the flying bridge so I don't use an external antenna.
