Re: Need recommendations on a complete 4G LTE system set up for internet access at my new house in the sticks!

This response may be too late as the post is over a month old. If so, how did it work out for you? T-Mobile 71/n71 600MHz band may help the rural setup. (not sure if 600 is exclusively NR 5G or if 4G is flowing on it as well) To future proof the antenna purchase, I am reading that people should cons...

Re: Should I be using a booster? Probably not

Here are a few points for rural wireless... The killer band is 617 MHz, The frequency Is shared by both 4G B71 and 5G n71. Tmobile owns a large portion of this band, but I read that it is not 100%. It is only used in North America. This frequency range is fairly new in the manufacturing scheme of th...

TRUE NORTH vs. MAGNETIC

If you don't know, maps use true north, and your compass uses magnetic.
They are off generally about 12-13 degrees for most of us.
Useful if you are trying to aim an antenna.

Pop in your zip code and check yours:

Re: T-Mobile Band 71

Sorry for the confusion. I though I was clear. They ADDED more of the B71 that they don't own so that extra portion could go away in the future. Here is the article guts, from March: ------------------------------ T-Mobile will borrow spectrum in the 600MHz band from Dish, Comcast, and other compani...

Re: Wi-Fi for boat

Your quest needs more details to get help
Is this a permanent install?
How much data do you want?
Is ATT the strongest signal in every port?
You may want a setup that can handle two SIMs.

Re: Wi-Fi for boat

Captain, Here is a bit more to chew on... A router with dual SIM allows two active cell contracts as an attempt to avoid coverage holes. Yes, ethernet cable would be the best performing connection from router to Xbox. To get the best data rate, it is all about the antennas (the modem helps too). Sin...

Re: StarLink satellite internet service by SpaceX

The write up has some pics of the gear.

The one pic of the speed test showed 174 down and 33 Mbps UP!
I am amazed that they can get so much upload performance.
Also curious about how snow and rain will sit inside the sat dish.
