Verizon signal booster
Hi. I came across your post and can REALLY use some help. I have a lake house in zip code 36401 which is down in a low spot. I can't get ANY signal from Verizon. I'm prepared to spend what I have to to fix this problem. I can't use my phone or connect to the internet. I am technically "challenged", so any help you can give me would be appreciated. Please be as specific as possible with instructions. I hope you can help and thanks in advance.

Most home broadband connections still are pretty inadequate to consider running an LTE connection over. The idea is to also allow the phone to make and receive calls and texts (which route over the 3G/CDMA network, which the Samsung repeater does). For data service, Wi-Fi is a more suitable option.
If you need a repeater, purchase something from Wilson that can handle LTE. These would also allow you to use Voice over LTE.

Is there a device to use to boost the verizon signal so that I can get more than 1 bar on my JetPack in rural Tenn?
Beyondrural, I understand that you need reliable coverage. We sell network extenders http://bit.ly/AKkC for home use, but this wouldn't be feasible for a network extender as you would need cable, DSL, or FiOS internet. Are you having problems only inside your house or the whole area? If inside your home, you may also want to consider HomeFusion http://bit.ly/SEW00I as it includes a cantenna that sits on the outside of your house. What city and state is this?

Signal booster for cell service
Seeing if anyone has any suggestions on this one. We have iphones. We WERE on ATT, which has horrible service where we are. So we purcahsed a Micro Cell tower when we had ATT numbers. But then we decided to go to another service, except this service still USES the ATT towers. The Micro Cell ONLY works with ATT phone numbers.
So now that we have different numbers, the Micro Cell is no longer any good.
Does anyone have any suggestions what brand SIGNAL BOOSTER we could get that would be good for ANY SERVICE, not just ATT??
ThanksThank you so much for trying that out claymeijer,
This is definitely an odd one! Let's deep dive in to this and make sure we cover all bases. Please ensure that you've added your numbers to the contact list via My Verizon. Here are the steps: http://vz.to/196jt5g
Also, please ensure your router has current firmware. This can be checked by visiting your routers website.
If issues persist, we would want to connect you to our Network Extender department.
Thanks!

Signal Booster Options for poor service signal in home
The new home I am moving to gets really poor signal (seems to be just in the yard and house ~3 acres) everywhere around home gets signal. What would be a good signal booster option so I can get calls in my home? Zipcode 56759
At this moment, I believe your only option is the network extender, which is currently a Samsung model. You would hook this up to your home internet connection. Limitations are it is only 3G and not LTE.
Future, Verizon has said they will be releasing an LTE network extender. Also Verizon announced in the fall of 2014 they will support wifi calling with supported phones sometime in 2015. Both are still not concrete on dates, so I would not count on them right now. Just be aware that if you get the 3G network extender, it will be obsolete in less than a year. -
Can anyone recommend a signal booster to enhance my Verizon iPhone4 phone and data signal in "fringe" areas?
When camping in some areas of the Adirondacks in NY, I can only get one bar on my iPhone. Internet is extremely slow if at all. Can someone recommend a signal booster device (either with an antenna I can mount on a travel trailer or a free-standing enhancer) that can attach to my iPhone to boost its reception? Thanks.dougunruh, Welcome to the discussion area!
Another square 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can extend the wireless network using 802.11n.
You could use a round 802.11b/g AEBS or AX to extend the network but it will be using WDS and 802.11g. Also using WDS will cut the wireless bandwidth to half (27 Mbps). -
Where can I buy a cellular signal booster?
I have little or no reception on my iPhone, and most calls are dropped or never get through. I have to go outside in the street in order to get enough reception to place a phone call. Yet, the Verizon coverage map shows my area as having excellent coverage !

Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet" When I try to use Safari.
Wireless works but my Verizon account does notSome things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

MI424WR-Gig version and Amped Wireless SB1000 Signal Booster
Has anyone used the Amped Wireless SB1000 signal booster with the FIOS MI424WR?
If so, what are your thoughts/recommendatoins? Which antenna does it replace or are two needed?
I did request information from Actiontec, but don't think they understood the question (see below)
Resolution:
=========================
In regards to inquiries regarding replacement antennas you will need to contact
Verizon at 1-888-553-1555
The MI424 isn't compatible with range extenders or repeaters or boosters as they
require a protocol called WDS (Wireless Distribution Services).
The MI424 doesn't have this wireless protocol.
To extend or improve the range you would use a wireless Access Point. An AP is a
bridge, you disable the MI424 wireless transmitter and use the AP instead.
The AP unit connects to the router by ethernet, you can then run the ethernet up
to 300 feet from the router to locate the AP where your wireless systems are.
You connect a computer to the AP and configure it to transmit the wireless.
we ourselves do not make antennas so we are unaware of what is available for
booster antennas. The connector on the Router is a Reverse SMA. In regards to
inquiries regarding replacement antennas you will need to contact Verizon at

Hi, I'm new to this new format for the forum so I may make lots of errors.
My 3G IPAD only gets between 1 and 3 bars when I use 3G at home which is a lot. When its at 1, I can't use my IPAD online at all. I have the original IPAD, 16G, with 3G. My operating system is 4.3.5.
I called Apple support and they connected me to ATT and they didn't know what the problem was. I told them it didn't revert to Edge and they said that's because it can't find the signal. They said I could get a new SIMS card if it didn't work in town but yesterday I took it to town and it got between 3 and 5 bars so I didn't pick up the SIMS card yet.
So I was wondering if anyone knew of a signal booster that will increase the 3G signal so at least it stays off of 1 where I can't use it. I use this mostly at home because my internet connection keeps dropping too so I rely on my 3G 50 percent of the time.
Or does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you.
I used to be mpoinar but that account is no longer accepted here so I had to create a new one. sigh.
MarthaHi, I just watched the video for the Microcell and you have to use your broadband connection to get it to work and the problem is my broadband connection is down the times I'm using my 3G. That's why I use it, because my broadband connection is not working so much of the time.
Any other suggestions? :-)

I am trying to find a portable cell phone signal booster
I am away from electricity and there are too many spots where I need a signal boost in order to do my work.
Does anyone have any recommendations for anything that I can use to boost my iphone signal so I can use Siri easier to dictate but runs on battery power and not an electrical outlet or car charger?
Thank you.@macnpchz
There no portable cell boosters available, but you can ask your cellphone provider about mini towers for your home. If you have AT&T, they use MicroCell. I currently use this at my home and I love it. -
can you buy a vga signal booster to allow the mac mini to work on any crt monitor?
It seems to me it would be better and make sense to just buy a computer that actually worked right out of the box without needing a VGA signal booster. Wait until next week to see what new stuff Apple releases at Macworld.

MacBook Pro as a Signal Booster?
Hey,
My Macbook Pro (13" Late 2011) has a full WiFi signal at home but my iPhone 5 barely connects to the same network.
Is there a way connect my iPhone to the WiFi through my MacBook? (As a signal booster)
Thanks in advance.You can share your Ethernet connection to other devices using WiFi. This turns your MacBook into a primitive Router.
You cannot both connect via WiFi and share via WiFi.

Try this site out. My coworker has a signal booster at his house. Without it he would have no cellular access at all.From what I can see this is a question which has been asked before but the only products and sites suggested are non UK.
Again from previous posts I can see that the "boosters" are not rated very highly but I am hoping that the combination of wi-fi and a signal booster might fit the needs of our business.
Any one have any ideas?

Internet signal booster? Is there one available?
Hi,
I had to relocate my router to a different location to ensure a strong wireless Internet signal for the desktop computers. However, when I go outside, my signal is too weak for my macbook to connect. Can anyone recommend a signal booster I can get to help strengthen my wireless connection for my macbook?
Thank you!What base station do you have right now?
Some base stations support external antennas, which can be an inexpensive way of increasing range.
If yours doesn't, then you may be able to get a second base station and setup WDS (Wireless Distribution System) where the second base station acts as a relay back to the main base station (that's connected to the internet). Again, this depends somewhat on the make/model of base station you already have since not all of them support WDS (Apple's do).
