Connectall Franklin T9 to a different device?

Post by lawreaga »

Hi, I'm a total newbie here and I wish to get some help if possible.

I'm currently using connectall service with a franklin t9 hotspot to provide internet service for my non profit organization. The problem is the T9 gets horrible reception inside the office building only allowing 2Mbps down and .5Mbps up. when i test it outside the building I was able to get at least 10Mbps down and 2Mbps up. But the wifi does not reach inside the building due to extremely thick walls.

My question is. Is there a device I can purchase from this site that will allow me to pull the sim card out of the t9 and use it on to provide me with a much stronger wifi signal or possibly a CAT 5 connection to run it into the building? and I wouldn't mind having a better antenna to receive stronger LTE signals either.

I don't' care much about the portability of the hotspot device since I will never move the device ever. What is the best device offered on this site that can do this for me? I want a device that can maximize LTE reception and have a cat5 output so I can run the wire to inside the building from outside.

any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hey welcome!

I recently put together a system using a Calyx SIM, Basically the same service if I recall correctly.

NEXR5GO router. Has good wifi on it.
MC7411 modem is great, but the Sierra EM7565 would be a really good one to use as an upgrade. The MC7411 is a lower classification of modem, but supports way more bands, including Tmobile B71 which should be available to you at some point.

for the em7565 youll need a few adapters, let me know and I can link you to all that.

Otherwise all you need are the modem and router. Pop em together, set a few settings and your good.

Router:https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/routers/wifix-r ... 8ghz-wifi/
Modem: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/modems/sierra-w ... ced-modem/
or: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/modems/sierra-w ... m-2-modem/


Then all you need is a set of antennae to get that signal in to the building to the router:

One of these baddies is a universal recommendation, without knowing your locations details: https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/antennas/cellul ... connector/

Youll need antenna cables. I would go with LMR400. The Wireless Haven has that too. Even if you want custom cables made.
