The most significant difference of the Boosteven CAT6 vs the other PLDT LTE Advance models is the presence of an external antenna port. This is crucial for areas where the smart LTE signal is weak. I already saw someone online installing a DIY external antenna on the Evoluzn CAT6 but let's face it, not everyone has the time and has the knowhow to do this. For the boosteven however, not all external antennas are compatible.
Again same with my earlier videos I placed this modem on different parts of our house to get the best signal possible. I'll upload another video comparing all 3 modems so that if you are only about to purchase one, you'll have more information to choose which one is best for you.
One thing I noticed with this modem is I'm constantly getting 3 full bars of signal regardless of where I position it. This however does not automatically mean that it will deliver better speeds as compared to other models with weaker signals.
So how does the Boosteven model compare to the other models? Feature wise it seems better than the other two modems but experience wise, It feels the same. The external antenna port has been the selling point of of the boosteven model but if you already have strong signals in your area then you wont need to use it. So for me, you can pick any of the three existing models, nothing really stands out because ultimately, speed and performance would depend on your location and other variables.

Good day.. sir ask ko lang po san pa kaya may available na boost even R281 or ung cat6.. ung di naman po sobrang mahal ng price. ilang stores na po kasi hinanapan nmin walang stocks sa online nman po ang laki na ng difference sa orig. price.. thank yoi
I'd like to ask if the boosteven cat6 comes with antennas? I purchased mine on pldt official reseller ropoventures and mine doesn't come with a pair of antennas which disappointed me since that was the reason I bought one. To strengthen my signal reception.
Hi, the Boost even CAT6 does not come with external antennas, it only has external antenna ports. But even without it, signal reception is good based on my experience. If needed, you can buy external antennas but not all are compatible.
Hi, what external antennas are compatible with R281 model, and where can I buy them?
Thank you
I suggest you buy from www.officialpldtreseller.com or if you're from metro manila, you can buy through the grab app.
Hi J4m3s, right now there is no clear guide on compatible antennas for the R281 model but so far the MIMO or YAGI antennas are working. Thanks!
Sir, I have the same model of this PLDT's prepaid wifi. However 'di ko po ma-hard reset nalimutan ko po kasi passsword. I have been pressing the WPS/Reset button pero ayaw.
For hard reset, make sure the modem is plugged-in, then press the Reset button with a pin and wait for your modem to restart. Thanks!
Na purchase ko yung boost even sa grab mart. :)
Hello, can I use PLDT postpaid Antenna to my Boosteven Cat6 model? Is it possible and effective, sir?

Hi Tine, please see my other post regarding antennas on the Boost Even CAT 6 http://www.roni-g.com/2020/12/are-cheap-antennas-compatible-with.html
Not all are compatible but the Globe MIMO antennas available online are working.
Please sir make a video for boosteven with yagi antenna if its compatible
From forums, feedback is that YAGI Antennas are working on the Boosteven CAT6
LPDA outdoor antenna compatible sa pldt boosteven subok na mga lodi
Sir. I dont know what is the problem of our wifi. So damn slow! Na try kona po lahat, pero bat ang hina parin? Daig pa yung old model, mas malakas kesa sa R281 na model hays pldt. Nakakasira ng online class. Pa help po
Have you tried using an external antenna? I tried MIMO Antennas and somehow it helps improve speed. You can also explore admin access to control the frequency band as some bands are already congested depending on your location.
