Wireless Joint

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback guys! I am indeed using an 8800L and I’ve been feeling the obvious next step would be an LTE modem, so thank you very much for pointing get out. Noted to get an independent router as well. Ideally I would find a modem that does CA on uploads. For others looking for t...

The idea is the booster is your antenna source so to speak. The omni antenna is simply a way to "connect" your booster and your router. Interesting! I tried a variation of this last night without the little Omni antenna but with the booster “indoor” antenna near the feed horn of the parab...

Verizon B4, ~30mbps DL ~.07mbps UL RSRP 85 w parabolic, 95 without SNR 25 The tower is ~14 miles away, have tested at ~11 miles with similar results. Tower ID: eNB ID 13384 - LTE It has bands 4*, 5, 13, 66 I'm almost exclusively on 4, but got kicked to 5 on the hotspot after hitting the data limit w...

It seems the parabolic at 19dbi would outperform this, MIMO aside. If nothing else, surely the The Wireless Haven parabolic would! But I was disheartened to find that there may not be a workable solution from this location, maybe beyond a massive old c band dish. Is there some other detail here that...

Put the omni antenna as close to the wireless panel as possible WITHOUT actually having the 2 touch and at a 90 degree angle to one another. My uploads went up quite a bit with this setup. The trick is to get the mimo antenna as close to the wireless panel as possible, again WITHOUT touching. I’m a...

957C2679-01F9-47EF-9EF3-DABA99726C38.jpeg I ordered a parabolic antenna (I wanted to get the The Wireless Haven MIMO one but with no returns and $300 I wasn’t willing to take the risk). I connected it with a short 6” N to ts9. When I plug it in, the RSRP changes from ~90-100 to a steady 82db or so....

Ah interesting. Thank you very much for explaining that! So probably makes sense to start with the parabolic antenna and go from there. As for a modem that supports CA uploads, I don’t know if the tower/carrier I’m using has multiple bands. So far I’ve only seen B4. Not sure if there’s some way to s...

While I decide on a parabolic antenna... Does anyone have any experience getting faster uploads from different modem configurations, using one or more of the following: 1. A modem that supports MIMO uploads 2. A modem with higher gain on the antenna outputs that amplifies UL as well as DL 3. A low n...

Good idea! I will inquire with them if there is such a product! The MIMO antenna on that dish would essentially be going to waste unless the modem supports it since my DL speeds are already great. I assume the jet pack 8800L does not support MIMO uploads. I’m still playing with the idea of building ...

Be careful on your choice of antenna. You need to know which bands you have available to you before you purchase one. That above linked Parabolic looks like it lacks low end bands, which are more likely what you're getting at that range. It is band 4 consistently, so looks like that antenna support...

What wireless plan do you pan on using in there? It’s the Verizon “Get more unlimited” plan, 30gb of hotspot LTE, I believe the best consumer plan offered. I’d hope it’s not throttled. Interesting booster don’t boost upload. The dish makes perfect sense, just seems boosting the outbound signal befo...

Thank you very much for the immediate flood of responses! Currently using an iPhone 6s for hotspot, but mostly running speed tests on the phone. I know it’s not ideal. I have a Jetpack 8800L in the mail. Not opposed to paying more for a modem/router if there is a distinct advantage beyond multi-carr...

Hi all, I’ve got a conundrum here and calling Verizon, weboost, Wilson have all been beyond useless, but it seems folks here really have the technical side dialed, and that’s exciting! I am working remote, line of site to a mega tower on a mountain, but currently ~14 miles away. I am getting good si...
