When choosing a 4G antenna to improve the mobile signal on a 4G router, it is important to know which frequency your operator uses so that you choose the correct antenna. An operator like Vodafone, which uses 800 MHz for example, will need an 800 MHz antenna to function; a 2600 MHz antenna will not work. To help, we have compiled a list of UK mobile operators’ frequencies.
N.B. It is important to know the frequency used by your 4G or 5G operator, as not all network equipment and antennas work on all frequencies. If you’re not sure which equipment to buy, give us a call, we will be happy to help.
Find your operator below to see which frequency bands (in MHz) it uses, then choose an antenna that supports them.
