Mofi as a signal booster itself

Post by Hailhatin »

Is it possible to use the Mofi as a signal booster itself?
Probably wondering why I would want to do that. Well the T-mobile Home internet service requires that you use their router. It’s sim locked into their router, so you can’t use it on other devices.
With their router I am not getting the best signal. I was hoping I could use my Mofi as a signal booster only due to the fact I have 2 external antennas hooked up to it that help increase the signal a LOT.
I just don’t know how you would be able to.

Thanks.

No. Boosters have an inside antenna and, I think, two transceivers, one for outdoor and one for indoor.

I'm just guessing here but I think a booster is quite a different device to a modem. Boosters don't seem to care about the mode, i.e., LTE, 3G. 2G (but they do care about the band). That suggests to me that they're more a linear type repeater than digital.

First I would give T-mobile support a call to see if they have any options.

Booster is not the word I would use. More like a front end to the to the T-mobile modem.

Or a way to add antennas to the TM modem. I have seen this tried but it's ugly!! :ugeek:

See https://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=32 ... e+internet

Can you give more details on the cost and the amount of data you get with TM home internet.

Looks like the TM modem is a Cat-12 .... Humm not bad.

Maybe a PoE setup would help. Put the modem outside on a pole in an enclosure
