I have my Mobley sim card in my Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router Model MR1100 and it is working very good.
But we are going to a camp ground with poor cell service,so I now have my Netgear 6000450 MIMO Antenna with 2 TS-9 Connectors.
How do I know where to aim the antenna?

The display on our hotspot has signal strength bars. I just shift the MIMO antenna around until I get the most bars. Usually the antenna should be vertical not laying flat.

There are some very good web sites specializing in motor home and trailer cellular/internet equipment and tips & tricks. My wife and I are doing a lot more workcations next year. We do a couple of 2-weekers now but will need to gear up for the boonies. There are test tools too to dial in the best signal and then plug the antenna into your equipment after you are pointed the best direction.

Another thought is to connect to your hotspot with your device and run the
www.speedtest.net internet speed test (there is an app too) pointing the antenna in several directions (or from different windows) until you get the best result.
