Title: Nighthawk M5 Aerial
Post by: edz on March 23, 2022, 08:34:07 AM

Greetings Oh knowledgable and wise ones .. Have the Nighthawk M5 for our internet set up and looking at trying to extend its  pick up
 range while out fringe camping ..
So looking at an Aerial of sorts ..  Has anyone got feed back on one that works for them ..Brand ? cost ?  distance it worked at aprox ..
Being a tight arse scrounger, Expensive doesnt always mean best, sooo  not looking to mortgage a house on getting one, more like a tent  ..
As always, thanks in advance for any and all help ..

Maybe the info in this video is of help to you. Know nothing about the setups myself, but I follow this YouTube family and saw this recently.
