I'm in rural area & 4g is 1/2 bars. Have broadband internet. Will this help 460101 DT 4G - booster or is booster enough

I originally used the omnidirectional antenna. Yuck. This directional antenna improved the signal strength by at least 4X.

I would try it with the omni antenna that comes with the booster. You can always add the directional Wilson later if you need to.

I'm not sure if I understand your question but I'll take a stab at it ..........My guess is you will need the directional yagi antenna in order to send and receive enough signal for the booster to work. Be sure the yagi antenna is tuned to the same frequencies as your booster or there will be a miss match. Hope this was the answer you were looking for.

I forgot to say a Wilson Electronic support person told me to replace the RG8 cable which comes with the kits to RG11. I bought one 50 foot RG11 cable (and a lightening suppressor I connected to a ground wire) and my reception was hugely improved. 20KB/s went to 200 KB/s or better.

Aloha, I don't know the equipment you have mentioned in your question ( 460101 DT 4G / booster ) but this yagi ,or directional pointer/ antenna? It was our saving grace when the booster we had purchased just wasn't enough. Get it as high as you can, point it at the nearest Tower and it will increase your range of reception. Hope this is helpful for you. Kaboonshi

My 460101 sold by Amazon came with a panel antenna which is directional. Depending on your carrier (they use different frequencies on 4G) the panel's gain could be similar to this antenna.

You might not need to take it to the spot of 4g... The higher the antenna is the better.. So if you get a pole mount and put a pole on top of your house you should see the increased 4g. That's how mine is. Iv never had 4g inside my house.. Iv never had 3G. Only 1x threw the past 8 years... Now I get 4-5 bars 4g in my dinning room and 2bars in the next room..... But I also bought the upgraded indoor antenna because the DT4G comes with the black "desk" antenna... It only give you service if your within 5 feet... So if you want more area buy the 460101 and buy 304447($80)

They make a non-mobile version of this device. "Wilson Electronics - 460101 DT 4G - Cell Phone Signal Booster for Small Home or Office"If you use a provider (like Verizon), you may be able to get a booster that extends their network via your internet as well.

I would expect it too. It did a great job boosting both my cable tv and internet signals. I couldn't get HD channels on my bedroom TV before hooking up this booster, and I was dropping internet all the time until I installed this unit. No problems since!

My experience is that the distances are stated very conservatively and you probably will not need a booster, but if you still needed more signal a booster would work.

actually, if you use such as the verizon mifi you can get an antenna just for that and then put the antenna near a window, outide in the direction with the most signal etc.. The wilson booster is probably overkill.

What if you live in a rural area, and even if you move your laptop or android phone near the router you still only get 1 bar on the phone and 2-5 on the laptop but only 54mbps speed on laptop. How does one boost the signal and the speed? I live in an off-grid rental (solar power, etc.). Not sure what to do, but I need to be able to stream videos and upload/download files FAST for my freelance work. Thanks for any help!

The booster works well with the major cell providers ATT and Verizon. I have a constant bar and a half increase. We are happy with that increase. We will try other antenna directions now it is spring and the snow is gone.

Richard, As long as you get a signal from your carrier somewhere in or around your home either outside of a window or preferably on your roof or in the attic (if you have one), you mount the antenna where you get the strongest signal then route the cable to the booster inside where your going to need the signal. I put mine in my attic and routed it to the room I needed it in. Keep in mind that the signal looses strength as you leave the room that the booster in mounted in so, if you have a lot of walls in your house you will lose signal strength the further you get from the device.

This device is all you need for 4G coverage moving or stopped. My wife uses ours to stay connected from our RV while we are traveling. It has worked reliably since we began using it. Hope this helps you.

No - this one is the bare bones of the bunch. There is another Wilson on the market (Amazon) that, if I am not mistaken, is for the iphone 3G and 4G networks.You may need to go with an actual booster kit. cost more but if you need the signal power, it may be the way to go. Watch the "fine print" it will state which carriers they do not do well on.

This booster greatly improves your cell phone signal if properly installed, but will not boost data speeds. Great product.

I placed the booster on the outside back cover. It seams to help by raising the signal only one bar. I had terrible reception in my family room and dropped some calls. Now I do not drop any.

This booster should work with any service. I've set it up jus like the directions say and it does seem to help with Internet. I thought it worked for making calls. It doesn't though. So if you have wifi, I wouldn't buy it.

Wilson Sleek 4G-A Signal Booster is for most carriers 3G but for 4G works with AT&T; & US Cellular 4G LTE [700A/800/1900mhz] frequency range. The Wilson Sleek 4G-V will work with most 3G but only Verizon 4G LTE signals.

This will do nothing to boost LTE signal, but it independent of your plan. It will enhance your non-LTE signal, which is what you will likely only be able to use in remote (less populated) geographic areas.

No, that is the only drawback... It only boosts 1x and 3g. In my case it didn't matter because I don't get 4g within 2 miles of my house. But I do get fast 3g speed with the booster
