I understand the internal combustion engine much better than electrical stuff!

I have just got a 3 5g home broadband thing and have a external aerial for it which seems to give a better speed. There are 2 sockets to plug external aerials into, if I plug in a second external aerial am I likely to get even better speeds?

Your router will have 2 mimo ports - aerial should have 2 cables.

I haven’t seen a router with more than one aerial input.

Interesting... my aerial definitely only has one cable?

Is it a uni-directional one?
They’re usually square.

Yes, I think so, it's square.

Edit, just checked the amazon listing, it says its omnidirectional.
