Can anyone tell me the name of this connector please? Internal antenna port..

Thank you Gavin that does look like it’s correct. I’ll give them a go. Thanks for the help and fingers crossed 🤞🏼

What? Sorry, can you rephrase? So what you are messing with now is the 5G antenna or 4G?
 
4G. I have a 4G antenna but the external ports on my router are for 5G only so I’m connecting the antenna directly to the internal ports. Ie bypassing the use of the internal. ( I live in an area that have 4G only and feel it will be that way for a while)
 
If it's not obvious, you'll likely need 2 external 2x2 MIMO antennas to connect to all 4 internal 4G antenna headers - I'm not sure how it'd behave if only 2 of the headers were actually external and 2 still internal - it obviously wasn't designed or built for that situation!

Yeah, there's no point bothering with 5G if your area is not covered.
I believe for 5G you already have connectors for ext antenna built-in.
 
Hi yeah it a H112-370. There’s 4 internal 2 4G and 2 5G. I plan to disconnect the two 4g and reconnect external.. Will this not work?

what’s the worst could happen?

Is 4g not required for uplink for 5g in the UK?

Having looked at a few YouTube videos there are definitely more internal antennas than that... There are 4x4G (bottom long ones and bottom shorter ones for diversity), 2x5G (middle squares), and WiFi X's at the top.

I don't think connecting a single external to just 2x4G (replacing the longer bottom ones) is going to break anything, but it may reduce the maximum MIMO from 4x4 down to just 2x2 (halving the theoretical speed) as the modem will be recieving signals that are not as expected - potentially 2 higher level signals and 2 low level.
However that's probably only a concern if you're fortunate enough to be connected to one of Three's 4x4 deployed masts.
 
Thanks Gavin, yes there does appear to be more. How would I know if my mast is 4x4. I don't think it is but curious to know?
 
A rooted Snapdragon based android phone with NSG is the guaranteed way to tell as it'll report exactly what is being received, however you can make some guesses from the current deployed bands/technology. If it's got 5G and/or max config 4G (3+1+32+20) then it's highly likely got 4x4. If it's 4G with fewer bands them it's probably not got 4x4.
