Will this external antenna fit this new router?

XynthCode

I have installed an external antenna from Panorama Antennas, type WMM8G-7-38 | 4G/5G LTE – MiMo Directional Antenna
(the WMM8G-7-38 antenna is a high gain directional 2x2 MIMO signal boosting antenna for 4G/5G LTE), which is connected to my Zyxel-NR 2301 5G router. I would like to replace this router with a newer generation Zyxel Nebula 5G BE7200 Indoor Router.

HI~

I would not recommend doing this for the following reasons:

• Antenna: The Panorama antenna only supports 2x2 MIMO (it only has two cables).
• Router: The new generation 5G BE7200 router typically supports 4x4 MIMO internally.
• Consequence: If you only connect this external antenna, the system will be forced to downgrade to 2x2 MIMO operation, which will significantly limit your potential speeds.
