Wireless Joint

Sorry for the delay guys. I have this all setup in an Enclosure and did before posting the question via POE (same setup as Didneywhorl posted).

My questions is should the POE lose power the modem will not power up and I would have to open the enclosure to power on the modem, the MF275R has a ...

I wanted to know if anyone has put a ZTE MF275R into an enclosure before and if so how do you deal with trying to power it on? It does have a battery that is meant for power outage but this unit was designed to be indoors.

no apparent improvement

If you are trying to set Google DNS it is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

I'm not expecting to get the speed and signals that you guys are getting, nor am I trying to get an unlimited plan. I just want to get the best ...

What started me looking at this was helping a neighbor that is using a Yagi directional antenna and a WeBoost Connect 4G-X, they have very poor signal without the external antenna. I was thinking that I might be able to get a better setup running here.

Thanks for all the suggestions and information. I have walked our property and on the roof is the best signal that we can get so that would be the best place to mount antenna or modem in a box with POE I think.

I did look at cellmapper.net website and there was nothing close to me. I just ...

We are located on a lake in Ontario and we are looking to increase speed and reliability for our internet.
We are using Bell and have a ZTE MF275R modem. I have been reading the forum (filled with great information) but get stuck with wondering is we need an external antenna or just a better modem ...
