595U External Antenna Problems in Sprint Mobile Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20750969 en Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:11:53 EDT Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:11:53 EDT Re: 595U External Antenna Problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20753887 netwire : I think that I will just leave the external antenna off. As I stated in the edit above I'm getting just as good of a signal without the antenna if I suction cup it to my window. I don't even think the antenna I ordered was sent - this don't even really look like the pictures... oh well.

Or try taking the tip of a pen or something and seeing if the actual connector on the modem wiggles.

said by Jim_in_VA See Profile :

The barrel connector on the pigtail adapter has splits in it. If you gently squeeze them inward it will tighten the connection to the modem.
Mine is one solid part, no splits.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752768 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:05:02 EDT Re: 595U External Antenna Problems http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20752493 Jim_in_VA : The barrel connector on the pigtail adapter has splits in it.

If I leave it in the window it gets too hot from the sunlight and hangs. Because I have relocated the antenna a few times it's starting to give me problems. Unless I use a Zip Tie to hold the antenna adapter fully in the port then I get little to no signal. Would this be a problem with the adapter itself or the 595U? Anyone have a remedy?

Edit, hanging in the window without the external antenna I'm seeing: (-84dbi, Good signal strength) - better than with the external actually.
