Chateau LTE18 AX Vs. External Antenna

Hi All,

I’m a newbie on this forum and for Mikrotik

so, I have a router in object, and I bought an external antenna (Kaser Omni directional 698 / 2700 MHz SMA connector). I have installed the antenna outside and I have connected the cables to ANT2 - ANT3 connectors.

I run 7.10.2 fw on my router. I want to use this external antenna as main. I used the command > /interface/lte/settings set external-antenna= main

After this command I have rebooted the router but the level of LTE signal is the same, the router seems to use the internal antennas.

How can I check the antennas usage?

Can I do something different in order to use only the external antenna?

To be clear, my goal is to check the quality of this external antenna, instead of internal ones

thanx in advance

Try setting the external antenna to “auto”.
How long is he antenna cable?
