Router: Cradlepoint 350. It cost me something like $130.

Antenna: Wilson mag mount. It was around $20:

You also need to buy the adapter that fits between the UM150 and the
Wilson antenna. I bought mine online for &8.98 including shipping on
eBay. Different cellular devices have different antenna ports. That's
why you need to buy an adapter to connect it to the antenna.

It does make it convenient, especially when the card is attached to an
external antenna.

BTW, not all cards can accept an external antenna.
