4G LTE signal in remote location.

I am trying to get a good 4G signal at my new house in the hills outside of the city. The nearest tower is about 4km away, but hidden by a hill. Using a parabolic MIMO antenna on a mast about two meters above the second storey roofline, I can get a stable 4G signal, but it is weak (1 bar showing on ...

Re: Amplify signal for MIMO antenna

My main question here is... Can I attach any sort of amplifier to a MIMO antenna to boost the strength of the signal. For example, could I put a multiband amplifier on the end of each cable from the antenna before it attaches to the modem?? Something like ...

Re: Amplify signal for MIMO antenna


That's a tough one. Have you tried using a flat panel directional antenna instead of a parabolic? Since you are likely collecting signal reflection, versus a straight signal, you might be missing some signal with the very tight beamwidth of the parabolic antenna.

One like: https ...

Amplify signal for MIMO antenna

I have relocated to a house outside the city. There are two towers I know about, one hidden behind a hill, the other is too far away. I bought a parabolic multi-band antenna, and that produced a stable 4G connection when I point in the direction of the tower over the hill. But, it is only ...
