Signal Improvement Solutions (Cellular) |
U.S. Cellular D-Link 4G LTE Router (DWR-922) includes 2 antenna ports to attach external cellular antennas. See below for different options for high gain and high performance indoor and outdoor antennas to improve the signal strength and indoor coverage. Additionally, see below for RF bidirectional amplifiers/ distributed antenna systems/ repeaters/ small cells to further improve indoor coverage without directly attaching pigtail/ cable the device. |
Pigtail for External Cellular Antenna |
PIGDWR-922 (NOTE: Need this pigtail to connect this device to antenna cable. It is included in preconfigured kits.) |
Pre-Configured Outdoor Cellular Antenna Kits | |||||||||||||||||||||
See below for the most popular LTE antenna kits to boost the signal of your U.S. Cellular D-Link 4G LTE Router (DWR-922). These kits include cables, lightning protection, and all required pigtails/ adapters. If none of these pre-configured kits works for you, see below for customized solutions.

Cellular Repeaters/ Bi-Directional Amplifiers |
Because the U.S. Cellular D-Link 4G LTE Router (DWR-922) device has an external antenna port you could use the high gain external antenna kits above to boost your signal. However, if your outdoor signal is very weak, or you require a very long cable run to get from the outdoor antenna to the device (long runs lead to large signal loss) consider using an RF bidirectional amplifier/ repeater suitable for the supported bands and cellular operator to boost your indoor coverage: LTE Antenna Boosters/ RF Bidirectional Amplifiers/ Repeaters/ Relays |
Customize your solution |
STEP 1: Determine what frequency bands your operator uses here, then click on the frequency band link to view the best ranked cellular antennas compatible with the frequency band that both your device and your cellular operator supports. Your U.S. Cellular D-Link 4G LTE Router (DWR-922) operates on these frequency bands: LTE Band 13, LTE Band 17, LTE Band 2, LTE Band 25, LTE Band 4, LTE Band 5.
STEP 2: Determine the cable length you need from the outdoor antenna to the U.S. Cellular D-Link 4G LTE Router (DWR-922) and configure your length here (select N-Male on both ends)
STEP 3: Determine if you need a lightning protection device. If you do, you will need a jumper cable.
STEP 4: Order the pigtail for your modem below: PIGDWR-922 (NOTE: Need this pigtail to connect this device to antenna cable. It is included in preconfigured kits.)
STEP 5: If the pigtail's Connector 2 is FME-F you will need an N-Female/FME-F adapter to mate to the N-Male cable in step 2. Alternatively, select an N-Male/FME-M cable in step 2 above (more expensive and less re-usable) to avoid requiring this adapter.

Setting up camera system at place with no fiber ran to it just making sure this will work for cameras to be online
Nov 8, 2022, 23:41Since you will be using 4G LTE, you will need to confirm there is a usable 4G signal from your preferred mobile network provider. If not, you may consider an external antenna if the signal is not too weak and you need some improvement (sample kit: https://shop.rfwel.com/50-ft-directional-antenna-kit-for-u-s-cellular-d-link-4g-lte-router-dwr-922/). Otherwise, this should work for remote sites (use proper enclosure if installing outdoors)
