I’m looking for some advice on an outdoor antenna that would work with my Verizon LTE Router—it's basically the standard home gateway from T-Mobile.
I’ve ended up in this pretty bizarre situation, honestly. Without an antenna, I can't catch a decent 4G signal at all. But get this—if I take the little antenna that came with the Huawei unit and just hold it up against the window, I actually start picking up 4G, whereas when the antenna stays inside the house, nothing happens. I’m stuck in this weird dead zone between a cell tower and a hill, and I have no clue what's happening with the signal physics here. The folks over at T-Mobile actually gave me a specific direction to point an antenna toward, and once I did, it actually worked...
I’ve been asking around a bit, and someone suggested https://mikrotik.com/product/MTAS-5G-15D120. Now, I’m not sure if I need something even more powerful, though I wouldn't want to spend more than about $333.
Thanks in advance. (And sorry if I’m barking up the wrong tree here—if I'm in the wrong place, my bad.)
