Helping a friend;

Hey guys, I read some of this thread, but it didn't really apply to my so I
read and deleted.  Last night a close friend was complaining that he
switched to ATT and now his reception at home is not nearly as nice as it
was with Verizon.  Did anyone retain a summary email about what worked well
for ATT for boosting the local signal?  He doesn't need much, but it will
need to cover the area of his home.

Thanks in advance if any one can help!

Jack

Well Brad... you were spot on.   Put the antenna up about 15b (5b above
the trailer) even fabricated a ground plane under it... and it absolutely no
difference in signal strength or dBm readout...   thatbs a hundred bucks in
the wind...

suggestions ???

thanks

John,

I think you're using the same jetpack I am.  I also have an external antenna
and if I remember right at most I would see one bar increase and possibly no
bar increase.  Been a while since I looked at it.

When I get home I'll check what the status is on mine and let you know.

Also, my Verizon 4g isn't super fast but it is faster than satellite by a
fair
margin.  At least near Richmond Kentucky which is where I'm at.

Brad

  Internet gurus ???

  Ib m trying to set up a verizon 4620i jetpack for remote internet
access...
  signal seems poor   2 bars and very slow access...

  Ib m also trying an omnidirectional antenna to boost the signal...
supposed
  to be a 9 db gain antenna

  http://www.antennagear.net/catalog/9LTE-VW-OEM-SMK-Set(3).png

  when I connect antenna I see no increase in bars and looking at the
display
on
  the jetpack I see no change
  in the RSSI    it is at 32%  and b 114 dBi

  surely an outside antenna should increase my signal

  can someone explaoin the 32%   % of what  ??

  and is b 114 dBi good or bad... would b 125dBi  be better or worse... I
  donb t understand the nomenclature I guess


  thanks
  john
