4g and 5g Not available
- Thanks for the speedy reply. I did some more checking, and it appears that my little area has 5G for outdoor use only and weak indoor coverage. I cross-checked this with various UK providers on their network coverage map, and they're all saying the same thing. EE seemed to have a better coverage map with more accurate readings, showing black for my area, indicating outdoor use only.
- So, this pretty much roundss things up for myself and as you indicated in previous post that it seems likely that this is the only option. I did have a look and there appear to be two aerials by nedis on amazon one rectangular and the other cone shaped. I read somewhere that these need to be connected to wifi i think someone said in a post I only have my phone to rely on, no routers here, wifi.
Here is a copy-paste from Amazon's description below...
Connect the Antenna to your 4G or 5G device's Antenna Port. The device can be a 4G LTE or 5G CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), SIM card router, or cell phone Signal Boosters.
Ensure a secure and snug connection to minimize signal loss.
Not entirely sure what their trying to say there. I understand the concept of the aerial outside, cable coming inside, but what doesbthat connect to I dont have anything. Lifes to complocated
EthanielUK I'm no expert, but I imagine that the signal booster will then supply the boosted signal to a router in your home. Your phone would then pick up internet from that router.
Yes, through Wi-Fi. I assume I just need a router that has that strange connection on the back, which in all my life dealing with technology, I myself have never seen before.
Sorry for the delay. I was cooking pancakes and had a look around the house to see where this thing can go. It, however, may be too costly to implement depending on the router now. I don't see why they just don't make one from the outdoor aerial to an indoor booster to another aerial that transmits only through this indoor aerial being a small box.
Contradicting my earlier post re Amazon, this website may be better for you, but check their returns policy, and maybe even give them a ring to see if they can offer you some help and advice, and maybe advise on the correct booster for you.
