Signal Booster in Home

We live in a hilly area near Eau Claire, WI and as a result our signal is almost non-existent within our home. Going outside does giver us a signal but a very weak one and find ourselves not using the phone very much in the home. Have had to get a land line phone with our Internet as well. Without spending a lot of money, is there a simple way to be able to receive that signal?

  • 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.

  • Best home/office cell phone signal booster

    Can anyone recommend a cell phone signal booster for the 4/4S?

    Sure.  If it's for a car, that's easy. If it's for a home or office, answer the following:
    What carrier or carriers do you need to support?
    Over how large of an area do you need to boost the signal?  One floor or multiple stories?
    How strong is the signal strength outside of your home/office (Ideally on the roof where you'd need to mount the outside antenna)?
    With that information, it's possible to figure out what signal booster would be best for you.

  • Is there is signal booster I can use to get better reception for 3G on my ipad? My reception is between 1 (which doesn't work) and 3 bars and it never reverts to Edge. Thanks

    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.

    Hi, 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.

  • 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.

  • Signal booster box

    My Vodafone contract runs out soon and I'd switch to BT mobile but reception here is poor so I'm using Vodafone's SureSignal box that works fine. Is there anything similar available from BT? I've seen a suggestion it might be incorporated into a new HomeHub at some point but no date.

    I was about to post near enough the same query. My contract with Three ends in late May and I would like to switch to BT Mobile (unless Three can offer me a deal similar to or better than what I have now, which I am doubtful of, given that I am currently on the now discontinued Ultimate Internet rate)
    Though my area is supposed to get decent 3G coverage, my building in particular has always had a poor, almost non-existent mobile signal. Three provided me with a free Signal Booster box soon into the start of my contract, which plugs into my broadband router and gives me an exceptional mobile signal in my home.
    I would like to ask BT if they would be able to provide a similar device to what David and myself have now should I sign up to BT Mobile next month. It would be kind of a deal breaker for me personally, as I never use my landline to make calls, so I need a good mobile signal at home.
    I would be willing to pay for a signal improvement device, so I hope those in charge of BT's Mobile division will implement this assistance to customers in poor coverage areas if they don't already. Before anyone suggests I go on BT's website and enter my postcode in coverage checker, I have done this already, like I have done with all the major mobile networks, and as I say, the majority of them say I can get good 3G in my area, but I can assure you that, for whatever reason, I do not!
    Please reply to this thread with any details on signal improvement that you can furnish us with. Thanks :-)

  • Signal Booster Discussion

    In my home the signal switches from 3G to 4G LTE as I walk around with my iPhone 5a. Has anyone used a signal booster with good success? I am considering one to gain 4G LTE all of the time. I am located in a rural area so I am also thinking about the potential that it will become my home internet service too. Please let me know of personal experiences with signal boosters and bandwidth issues for Internet browsing.
    Thanks,

    Take a look at this - this is an booster or repeater rather than an extender. It would work in the situation where you have a decent signal outside in a location, but not consistent indoors.

  • Signal booster that works ???

    my signal was not bad here at my home, but lately I am dropping calls like crazy.  Is there a signal booster that really works ?

           Its very frustrating to be getting dropped calls. We do have a device called a Network Extender to extend coverage at a person's home. Please click here to see FAQ's about the device.
         Have you tried updating the cell towers the device looks for? Please dial *228 option 1 to program. When did the dropped calls start happening? Please PM me and i will troubleshoot your device and area to see if this could be resolved without buying additional equipment.
    Thank you

  • 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 !
    Where can I get a cellular signal booster for my home?   

    You could try a network extender. Signal Boosters Accessories - Verizon Wireless

  • Uma or signal boost

    does anyone on here know anything about uma? phone model is E5, on orange. can"t get this to work,told by orange that my router is the problem. any ideas?? uma is supposed to boost your signal through your  home wi-fi

    UMA doesn't boost the signal per se, but totally switches the voice features from a GSM wireless connection to WiFi.  Kind of like Skype, except that the party you're calling sees the call as coming from your usual wireless number, and all other wireless features should continue working.  If your phone supports UMA, you will probably find a WiFi Calling app somewhere on the phone, maybe in Control Panel -> Connectivity.  You should also find an entry for GAN (a synonym for UMA) in Settings -> Connection -> Destinations.
    I have never actually used UMA on my E73 (no need for it, as the signal is strong here), but see here for setup tips: http://blog.wapreview.com/?p=7626&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+WapRevi... .  If you already knew everything above and your router is the problem, I assume Orange is suggesting that it's blocking certain outbound traffic?  In that case they should be able to tell you which ports to open.  I hope that helps.

  • My Ipad will not receive signal from new home Xfinity modem.  I reset Pad but still doesnt work.

    My Ipad will not receive signal from new home Xfinity modem.  I reset Pad but still doen't get WIFI

    Does it not show the presence of a wifi signal, or just not connect?
    Some 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

  • Which is the latest EE Signal Booster?

    Hi there, I am looking to purchase an EE signal booster of eBay for use at home as I live in a basement flat so have very limited signal. Could someone kindly let me know what is the latest model of signal booster that EE has released, as there appear to be 3 different types of EE signal boosters on eBay, so am unsure which one is the latest version. I have tried to place links to the three different types on this message, but not sure if they will show properly: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTE4WDYzNQ==/z/z5IAAOSw-vlVgxDN/$_1.JPG http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwM1gxNjAw/z/4-YAAOSwBLlU6yhV/$_1.JPG http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/maJplz3X4rb_1sHq7DEUUNA.jpg If someone could kindly send me a picture, so I know what the latest version looks like as well that would be wonderful. Kind regards,James

  • Vga signal booster

    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.

  • Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than when I moved here in February 2013?  I only get one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.

    Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013?  I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.  Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no  resolution or answer.

    I have a Droid Ultra phone.  The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home.  If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home.  Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service.  There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
    Thanks for trying to resolve the issue.  Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.
