4g Booster…. HELP!!

[DaveT]

There are so many 4g boosters about, and really don’t know where to start.
Does anyone have any recommendations for boosting the 4g signal.

First of all you need a good aerial receiving signal. If not you cannot nothing.

This is what i am looking for recommendations for people for… there are so many and need some help

The Avtex one seem to come recommended any may be worth a look. We simply used our mobile phones to download data. If mobile phone cannot get a signal, 4G booster stands no chance either.

A decent external aerial linked to a MIFI unit will create a local WIFI net which can be used for wifi calling by mobile phones.

However you still need a signal!

Clearly with no signal it can't boost one from nothing, however, there are antenna having far better signal gain than the one in a mobile phone.

Gleaning and then boosting an otherwise too weak signal for a handset to a viable one is what these 4G boosters are created to achieve. There must be any number of locations where the signal is too minimal for a mobile phone handset, but a purpose made system pulls in enough. A lot will depend on the bandwidth one's needs requires.

I carry two different provider's SIMs in mobiles, this extends the number of places I get all the signal I need, but my bandwidth needs are minimal anyway.

Tread very carefully as 4g repeaters are very tightly regulated and many are not legal in the UK.
Better to buy a MiFi and external aerial and use that to connect to the outside world.
Also two Sims on different networks are the way forward.

Thanks so far , but again all im looking for are recommendations of what to actually buy…. We are going to Perranporth next month and the site wifi is poo!! And the phone signal is ok for calls but not 4g.
Really need something to help with the signal and be able to run the internet off.
