Can anyone suggest which antenna outdoor I should buy for the Optus modem see link. I am 180 meters away from the tower, so I am very close but not close enough because wall is making the signal weaker.

One that plugs into the modem you have. There are multiple modems on the page.
I recommend the x-shaped Panorama DMM-7 antennas. You can find them on Amazon.
Just make sure you get the correct connectors — some modems have 2x TS9 connectors and others have 2x SMA connectors.
You could look through https://rfshop.com.au/product-category/4g-and-wifi-solutions… for details and ideas on different combinations of modems and antennas, as well as his youtube testing. RFshop is in Adelaide.
Same with https://www.telcoantennas.com.au/antennas/?rf=va&va=171%7C29… who are in Brisbane.
Pretty sure if you were to ask either of them with your exact modem details they'd tell you which patch leads to get and which antennas to use. Plus they've got brackets for wall or pole mounting outside. You also need as short a cable run as possible, so needs a bit of planning there.
A G5 antenna?
Only Gerry can help as he gives you 50 extra sports channels if you sign up for something like 30 Months.
I am 3.5km fro my tower but a bought my phone NOT from Gerry.Forget Gerry this the man who brought us in the GST for overseas goods. I wouldn't buy anything from him regardless how good the deal maybe.
I bought 9 overpriced items from him with manufacturing faults.
In EVERY case they denied any form of warranty and QLD OFT sided with them that they can collect bribes from Gerry because he is so famous.But OFT has since suspended my driver license for telling them!!
We ALL love Gerry. or really?
