Hey there,
I was wondering if it’s actually possible to hook up an external antenna I used to have with my old provider? It worked great for picking up signals from about 2.5 miles miles away, roughly
.
The setup uses a Cisco Networks dish antenna—it's a pretty solid piece of gear.
It runs through a UTP cable with an RJ45 connector that plugs into a power supply unit. That unit has two ports: one for Gigabit data + Power and another just for Gigabit Data.
Is there any way to connect all that to my Verizon router? My plan is to point the antenna toward the base station to see if I can boost my speeds. Right now, I’m only getting about 20 to 40 Mbps download, and the signal strength in the router settings is sitting at a weak 2 out of 5.
Best,
