Can anyone recommend a quality 4G signal repeater?

I have poor service in my house and acceptable service outside. There is no high speed internet access available at my home so I can not use the network extender offered by Verizon.
I am reasonably tech savvy and could select my own, but I was hoping someone in the Verizon community could share their experience with signal repeaters to help me along.
I have been looking into a few options offered by Wilson Electronics.
It looks like their top of the line might be more than I need. I only plan to boost the Verizon signal in my area and I believe it also boosts frequencies that I won't need.
Thanks!

The Wilson products are going to be your best choice for home 4G repeaters.  They tend to be a little more expensive than the competitors but there really aren't very many to pick from.  You could browse around  3Gstore.com to see if they have anything else to offer that fits your needs and budget.
I do highly recommend you complete the site survey steps on 3Gstore.com:

  • Can anyone recommend a quality microphone for recording instruments?

    Hey,
    I'm a Garageband and digital audio newbie. I understand you can connect a microphone to record in, instead of using the built-in mic. Can anyone recommend a couple different good quality mics? I want to record an acoustic guitar. Or maybe a web link that discusses how to do this?
    Also, in the Garageband Help it describes as an alternative using an audio interface between the mic and the computer. Can anyone recommend something for this? Again, maybe an online article that discusses this in more detail?
    I can't really find any specific information to help with this other than the vague sales and Help material.

    My personal fav's for the sound quality and price point are the Apex 415 and Apex 460. Both are condenser mic's so then need phantom power, but the 460 comes with a phantom powered preamp so you should be good to go assuming you have an appropriate interface to your mac. Price on them is ~$160CDN for the 415 and ~$260CDN for the 460. The sound quality on these is stunning - rich, warm, and exceptionally detailed, especially compared to the shure SM57's. I will agree though that the SM57 is a terrific all-purpose mic (the design hasn't changed in 20 years, it's hard to argue the accepted capability of these mic's!), but I've found that it just hasn't been able to do justice to the rich sound of my Mesa/Boogie MarkIV. Last night I was practicing with my band and was testing out an Apex 415 in place of the SM57 I usually use to mic my guitar cabinet, and when I played the sound back, I commented to the drummer that it sounded really good. He was looking directly at me, listened, and after a second realized that I wasn't actually playing my guitar and was instead playing back the recording. The expression on his face was priceless..."holy $hit that sounds good, I thought you were actually playing!".

  • Can anyone recommend a quality archiving App?

    Hi,
    We're wanting to archive all our backed-up dvd's which contain our family pics, home movies, work files etc.
    We would like a nice little slick App that lists all files on each disk in some kind of database so we can quickly see which disk contains each file without inserting every disk & searching it.
    Or can this be done within Mountain Lion?
    Cheers
    Wayne & Family :-)

    Dvds are not an archiving solution - they can deteriorate within a few years. Some Blu-ray disks are intended for archiving (they claim for centuries!) and so are better suited - provided you can find amuseum with a blu-ray disk reader that works in 20 years.
    I have started using an MCE blu-ray burner with 25Gb disks for archiving photos etc. i expect there  is software around to create a catalogue while burning disks.

  • Can anyone recommend good quality speakers to compliment my iMac 27"?

    Hi there.
    I want some speakers that will compliment my 27" imac I just bought. I want some that are mainly stylish and have good bass response. The thing is I really looked at getting the BassJump 2, however it looks like it is more something that compliments very small speakers like the ones found in the macbook air and macbook pro's rather than being something that is designed for the iMac. It uses USB to power a small subwofer while still using the exsisting imac speakers as the treble speakers. Its not made for the imac really as it already has speakers that far succeed the air and pro's. I want something is made of wood and look nice on my desk while not taking up to much room. Basically I want a good upgrade from the current set for around £50. I am looking on ebay which is where I buy most of my stuff from and I found these...
    NEW TRUST 2.0 QUBIC 30W SPEAKER SET FOR PC COMPUTER
    They look nice and they would be what I go for if no futher suggestions are appropriate.
    Thanks alot guys!

    While not many systems come in wood grain, I'd go for a 2.1 system instead of 2.0 if your looking for better sound and bass.
    I really like my 2.1 Systems | Creative Inspires, but also check out Logitech or perhap even Klipsch and Bose if your budget allows for those.

  • Can anyone recommend plug-ins for vocals?

    Can anyone recommend plug-ins for vocals? I'm looking for an average "radio" sound. How can I get that?
    Thanks
    Anya
    imac 20 inch 2 gig Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   apogee + miroslav + looking for great midi controler

    well
    Let's start again:
    I use imac and ensemble by apogee as my audio
    interface with and rode ntk microphone. that should
    give me a preatty decent sound, but it comes out
    kinda hollow and unnatural.
    Hi AnyaS,
    It seems like the room you are in might be adding it's "sound" and making your vocal sound like it is going through a tunnel,or "hollow" sounding.
    Where are you doing your vocal recording? When you sing,do you hear your voice come back at you funny,like from a wall,or like you hear a faint "echo" or repeat in the room?
    I could help you,but without actually listening what you are talking about it is almost impossible to know what problems you might be encountering,and also if you can point to a reference CD or artist that you are trying to sound like,I can't really give you concise advise as to what to do to get you there.Do you have any way of showing us some of the sound you are getting so we can listen to it? That can help a lot more than describing in words what you are not liking about your voacl sound.Again a lot of this is subjective use of language,so when you say "hollow sound" it could mean something else to me.
    And as to the radio quality - I mean sound more round
    and defined - someting that I could send to radio
    and/or AR.
    Well,I think you are putting the cart ahead of the horse here...try to get your sound "there" to where you like it first,before trying to be judged by "radio and A&R" people.
    I am not sure how I can improve:
    - better/additional hardware or
    - better mastering/playing with software (I have IK
    studio bundle - that I have only utilized so far as
    sound source).
    I am willing to spend additional $1000 if needed but
    rather not.
    I think you do not need to throw money at the problem...that never usually works.It is better to understand what sound you want to get first,and then try to get there.
    I'll listen to what you have posted,but if you can have a link to a vocal without ANY processing,i.e. as you record it in your usual place,that would help more than a full mix of your music.I can tell easier what to do if your vocal is by itself.
    you can listen to working draft here:
    www.broadjam.com/aannaa
    sorry I don't know how to create a link here.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Can anyone recommend a wireless bridge?

    I would like to get one as it takes out the hassle of drivers for wireless and means I'll get better signal quality as it doesn't have to be right next to my PC.
    Can anyone recommend one that works well with linux? (so using a web browser to configure the connection) and working with WPA would be a bonus.
    I'm in the UK if that helps.

    The iPod Touch only uses b/g wireless standards, so you can use any wireless-g router. Since Wireless-N is the next standard, you can usually get a Wireless-G at an economical price. G is an older standard and quite sturdy. Linksys would be a good choice for you since you are already using one from that company. Just swap it out with your existing router. Special note: if you do go wireless, be sure to shut off the wireless on your iPod Touch when not using it; drains the battery.

  • Can anyone recommend a brand of external firewire drive suitable for FCP?

    Can anyone recommend a brand of external firewire drive suitable for FCP?
    I have a mac book pro with the latest OS.
    I have been told by Ken Stone that LaCie is no good and western digital is also no good.
    I am in Australia and would like not to spend over $500 for a 1TB 7200 rpm drive.

    'No good' is a matter of opinion and your expectations. I know people who use WD drives, and I myself have used Lacie ones with no problems. That said there are a lot of people who wouldn't. If you want quality (speed and reliability) you have to pay for it. If you're willing to compromise then you pays your money and takes your chances.
    If you go for Lacie or WD then make sure you're getting 7200rpm drives that connect via FW or eSATA.
    If you want a recommended solution then most popular seem to be G-Tech, Caldigit or Wiebetech. I have no idea of their availability or pricing in your neck of the woods.

  • Can anyone recommend a router?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless router or a router/Airport combination for our office (in UK). I've had troubles with VPN in the past so would like a router that plays nicely with Mac OS X Server VPN.
    Presumably a router/Airport combo will be the the most Mac Server friendly way to go.

    Well, you could give it a go, but my honest opinion, especially if you're having difficulty with VPN's is get one box to do the lot.
    We have 4 sites here, each one with a Draytek router, and a LAN-LAN VPN set up on each to each. In addition we have a dial-in VPN on each, with all Macs at each location. LAN-LAN VPN is faultless, dial-in VPN is great as long as you have a good quality broadband connection.
    I use Time Machine to the server (it has the advantage of being easily upgradable for storage space, unlike Time Capsule) and we all back up to that (there are some disadvantages to using TM on the server, see here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9630985#9630985) and everything works flawlessly, with the exception of the difficulties described in the above thread.
    I agree to a certain extent about using Apple tech where possible, but I would say use the appropriate technologies for the environment you're working in.
    Time capsule, Airport and a cable modem is pretty much perfectly designed for a home environment, but if you're working in a corporate environment, I recommend using corporate technologies.
    It just strikes me that you're over-complicating things. Compare the two solutions side by side:
    Your suggested business model:
    Cable Modem, Airport router with VPN pass-through (which you know is unreliable), Time Capsule, OS X server with VPN
    My suggested model:
    Wireless modem/router with VPN, OS X Server running Time machine over the network.
    The fewer points of failure you have, the better. Let OS X server deal with the Mac side of life, let the router deal with the network side of life. Their two areas of responsibility meet nicely in the middle without any crossover, using standard technologies.
    Like I say, just my point of view, but I would go for simple and standard over Mac-oriented but complicated every time.

  • Can anyone recommend me a Northbridge fan replacement?

    I have a MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce4 and recently i have been experiencing random crashes and lock ups which i think are due to the northbridge fan failing (it was making horrible noises).
    I tried to replace this with the Asaka heatsink/fan combination thing but it didn't fit under the graphics card as there is only about 1.5cm vertical space available. Can anyone recommend a replacement suitable for this motherboard? Preferably a cheap one. =)
    Also -i don't know much about chipset- is it safe to run the computer without a northbridge fan installed assuming i don't do anything intensive like games or whatever?
    Thanks in advance.

    I was sniffing around some other forums,(as you do), when I came across this post. It sounds intresting, and may be worth giving it a try.

    "Repair your noisy cpu and system fans
    This is a fix that will last for a long, long time.
    Buy some graphite powder and some oil at an auto or hardware store. They come in different packages. For oil, the best is the pen-type as they are easy to handle and only give a small amount at a time. Just about any oil in a pen format will work fine. The graphite powder comes in small plastic tubes. But make sure you get graphite powder, not graphite oil, its too thin for this job! So you need graphite powder in a small tube and oil in a round "pen" that can be squeezed out and placed just where you need it. Also, when the oil is used up in the "pen" you can open it and add your own oil.
    First, clean the fan blades off real well. If you have a heatsink with the fan then clean the heatsink off as well. You can even use a bit of your oil and some q-tips for cleaning if needed. Then, take the small circle, it usually has a name on it, but its in the middle of the fan. Peel one edge up carefully and put a very small amount of oil in where you lifted the label up. Now add some graphite powder in the same place where you put the oil, add as much or a bit more of the graphite powder than the oil. Clean off excess oil and graphite and push the label back where it was. You may need a very small amount of duct tape to hold the label in position and to prevent leakage. This is important if the fan is going to "sit up" as opposed to lying flat.
    Now put the fan back where you want it and when it starts spinning it may be noisy for a few seconds until the graphite\oil works its way in. Then it will stop and it will stay stopped for many years and you may very well not need to buy a new fan after all!
    I experimented a lot with this and this is the very best way to quiet all those fans and have them work well. I have always been a big fan of those removable ide hard drive trays that you can buy. But the fans are the pits, they get noisy real fast. So i had to find a way to fix them as they are very expensive and hard to replace. Now i don't have to. Combo of oil and graphite is the very best, by far. One caution, graphite stains worse than
    oil, so be careful! I'm talking about staining your clothes and hands.
    You can use this system with all CPU fans, video card fans, system fans, and even fans inside power supplies. But one word of caution, its easy to open a power supply and take out the fan, but do be careful as there are voltages there can can hurt you badly. If you don't know what you are doing then wear rubber gloves to get the fan out and to put the fan back in after the
    repair!
    Trust me, this will work. If the fan spins my method will work for years and I have even fixed fans that were stuck and wouldn't spin! This is better done with the fan on the table but in those cases where you cant or don't want
    to take the fan out of the system, that's where the "pen" with the needle comes in again, but i still find a way to get some graphite in as well, graphite is what makes the oil last a long time! And graphite is also an oil, but you need both together for maximum effectiveness. Oil by itself will only last a few weeks or so and then evaporate, and the fan will get noisy again. Its the graphite powder that does the long term job. The oil really only helps to spread the graphite powder around really well so the graphite can do the job!
    Hope you do as well as i have with this info!"
    End Quote.
    Edit - Additional Info
    The type of northbridge fan used on some MSI boards, eg K8N Platinum & Diamond etc, require that you remove the fan from the board first (you will have to remove the motherboard to do this). This is because the top of the shroud is attached from the bottom by two tiny Phillips type screws. Once you have removed the shroud, very gently prise off the fan from the motor assembly. There is no need to try and remove the three other tiny screws that secure the fan motor in place to the bottom half of the shroud. Once removed, you will see that under the fan is a small plastic pin that holds the sleeve bearing in place.

  • Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

    Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable. 

    Hi CJR
    I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
    Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
    TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups.  Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
    My back-up plan is as follows:
    1.  Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
    2.  Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
    3.  iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
    4.  Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
    5.  Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS  cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.

  • Can anyone recommend a simple Notes/To Do List app

    Hello,
    I am going crazy looking for a very simple To Do List / Notes app for my iPhone that does what I want it to do. I have spent hours in the Apps store and downloaded over 12 so far, and have not found the right one. Can anyone recommend one that:
    -allows for unlimited lists (To Do Home; To Do Out; Grocery List; Xmas Gift List etc).
    -allows you to manually SORT these lists by dragging them above or below the other items.
    -allows you to enter unlimited items (or a large number of items) within each list
    -allows for more than one line of text for each list item (not one line with ". . . ."after it)
    -allows you to manually SORT these sublist items.
    -opens directly to the page with all lists
    -is attractive (even a cute, "mom" way is fine)
    -has the auto spelling corrector
    I don't care about due dates, syncing with calendars or any other fancy stuff. I basically want it to do what the basic yellow Notes app does, but just with sorting capability.
    Thank you very much!

    If a site is sending you spam, it has nothing to do with browsing the web; they can't track you down or discover your email address or anything about you, so you don't need a proxy server. They got your email address somewhere, so if your email provider is Gmail or even Yahoo! Mail, you can block them from sending based on their domain and then you won't see anything from them. If your email provider is your ISP, they can block those for you if you call them and ask them to do it.

    Macs with a FireWire port will also boot happily from an External drive. You don't even need to open the MacBook.
    Some users buy a drive they would like to have as a future Internal drive, and also buy an external enclosure. They get the External set up the way they want it, then swap with the Internal drive.

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
