I have a sprint netgear 6100d gateway.Iam getting only one bar signal.Can I use this antenna to boost signal from the sprint tower 3.5 miles away?

Do not know yet not I have received the product yet. but I guess if it's because it has a range of 50km but only finciona 5GHz frequency.

I'm no authority on the 6100D but I believe it operates in the 1.9 and 2.4 Ghz band. If that's correct, the ANT5830 would not be the correct choice. At better choice would be a similar antenna designed for the 2.4 Ghz band, mounted to be line-of-sign to the Sprint site if possible.

I do not understand what you are wanting here. Is it you are wanting to use this to boost the signal inside your house and that is why you have a router? This is an external outside " directional " antenna. It helps to direct a cell phone signal to a cell phone tower. It uses a cell phone signal booster like those sold by Wilson Electronics. If this router provides a signal boost then maybe it can but I can not really answer your question without knowing what it is you want.

This antenna IS NOT---IS NOT....for wifi. This OUTDOOR/ROOFTOP antenna connects the CELL TOWER to a CELL PHONE SIGNAL BOOSTER/AMPLIFIER that connects to another usually indoor antenna that connects the CELL PHONE SIGNAL AMPLIFIER to to your PHONE or other NON-WIFI 3G device. f This antenna is NOT for connection to a ROUTER or other WIFI device.I hope this is clearer, now. You should seek professional assistance to get the real answers you need. And if Cyberonics recommends a particular item, then that is what you should buy.

You must have a active 4G Signal outside and must find the area of best reception. In order to get these booster to work. You must have a 30 distance by 15 feet vertical distance. In other words, must have 30 feet apart from the base station to the antenna. They have to be 30 feet apart. Also metal surfaces interfere s with this system. Must have a 3 feet distance from the base station otherwise you will get noise polution causeing the red green light to go spastic. I have the Zboost SOHO Datablast YX550 S. I get 1 bar 4G outside and now I get 5 full 4G bars on my phone and 35mbps. They are sensitive systems so must follow the instructions for this system to function correctly. I live out in the country and middle of no where no have metro reception like beimg in the city. I use Galaxy Note 2 through Verizon on the 4GLTE network.

I had it inside on the first floor testing, it worked but the signal strength was greatly impacted. But my closest tower is about 35 miles away also, being on the second floor will help but you will more than likely be better off if you can get it in the attic at minimum.

Remember, we're working with radio waves being sent through the atmosphere, and pretty much line-of-sight from a cell tower. The signal amplifier (the booster) is amplifying the signal intercepted by the antenna and sends it to the pad where the phone is to be placed. You'll have to trust L. P.'s experience working in a basement. If it works for him, it should work for you. The antenna must be outside, and as high up as you can reach with your cable for maximum effect.

No it will not I had one bar and unless I was 5 feet away from it the signal never improved

I had it hooked up at work and worked great for all employees with different android phones. One of them being iphone (not sure what model). Anyway the antenna is directional so you really need to point it as straight as you can. Good luck By the way the booster worked the opposite for my bosses non-android phone. He had four bars signal and when I turn on the unit it went to no signal at all on his cell phone.

Yes you can. It should be used as the outside "donor" antenna preferably roof mounted to provide as much isolation between it and the inside distribution antenna(s). This directional antenna needs to be orientated toward your carrier's closest cell site which will serve as the donor. Be sure that your signal booster is approved under the new Federal Communications Commission rules for these devices and that you notify the carrier whose signal you will be rebroadcasting in compliance with these rules.

It may not be. This product can make the signal you have distribute throughout the house, but it will not amplify the signal. So if your best antenna location only has 1 bar, then that's best your house will get. If there's a spot you can get 2-3-4-5 bars outside, then get this product. Otherwise you need to move up to the more expensive units.

This is NOT a signal booster. It is a repeater only. Wherever you have the best signal outside is where you place the outside antenna. It will then reproduce that signal inside for you. So if you cannot make a phone call outside this is not for you unless you plan on mounting the antenna on a mast.

The key here is that it ONLY works on WiMax 4G networks and NOT 4G LTE. You should use Sprint's coverage maps (at the top of their web site page) to show WiMax coverage. In Colorado Springs, a city of 300K people, WiMax is not available and Sprint shows this as "3G and more". In the Denver area, WiMax is available so I should either sell my unit to someone in Denver or just hold on to it for when I travel.

I'm not an expert but 1st ,did you verify if your switch is on ? then you go on line and find where is the closest tower in your area and with a compass that you can download on your phone you will be able to direct your antenna with the closest tower location that you found on line, example 42 degree North East ect., with your cmpass this is where you would line up the antenna.Hope this help.

I bought the Wilson AG Pro booster for my office and it works great. The trick is getting the outdoor cell receiver well located. For me, it took a 10' PVC pole to lift the booster antenna high enough to capture a decent signal, then it relays the signal down into our office. Got me 4-5 bars back inside now.Good luck.

The Wilson just amplifies the two frequencies if present, no matter what generation the frequency is. Sprint towers can be found by googling for sprint tower locations. Hope that helps. My Wilson works great. Went from 1 bar to 3 or 4. Much faster 3g, as i do not reside where 4g, is, so only get 4g when I am in metro area, which is rare for me.

I use a JacobsPart wifi Router in a mobile home from my son's wifi about 300' away (I cannot even pick up FM radio without an outside antenna). I get 3 bars which equals good signal. It works great. Of course I am not on the computer that much, but it works aytime I connect. And his home has aluminum siding to pass thru also.

It depends on the strength of the signal. Many signals are only designed to carry a certain distance. I would think that 45 miles is stretching it, but it's possible. Let the community know how you made out.
