If you're on the edge of a reception area and need just a little more oomph to get that signal through consider picking up our premium 4G LTE antennas. The antennas connect to the USB 4G modem via a small CRC9 adapter as shown in the picture. This product is primarily geared for use with our TPE-USB4G2US model 4G modem and not any other models. However it may also be useful to those outside of this scope if you happen to have another cellular device that needs a cellular antenna and CRC9 adapters for it. If you have any questions about the product please feel free to contact us.

Here is a picture of the the antennas connected to a TPE-USB4G2US USB 4G modem with the CRC9 adapters

Note: This does NOT include the 4G modem, you are getting JUST two CRC9 adapters and two antennas.

NOTE: This is an EU power adapter. Do not order it unless have an EU power outlet.

Are you having problems powering a USB 4G modem via a router, mini computing device that runs off USB, or similar? Often routers and mini board computers have power adapters that will supply adequate power under normal conditions, but insufficient power when additional devices like USB 4G modems, wifi adapters, and similar are connected. This can often be resolved by upgrading the USB power adapter. This 5V/3A EU USB-C power adapter is geared primarily at our TPE-R1500 mini mail server. It's likely to work for most other similar devices.

• Works great for mini board computers, routers, and similar small/low power devices powered via USB


• Give devices more power: More power for your mini board computers, routers, and similar devices
