Strengthening 4g signal

knlmwq · #1 (**permalink**) 11-29-2010, 10:56 AM

Right now I am in Columbus, Ohio and I get one bar of 4g if I put my phone right next to the window. Is it possible to slightly increase the 4g signal in any way?

I have the same problem. If WiMax maintained a consistent connection in my apartment, I'd get rid of crappy Time Warner Cable internet. I was hoping there was some kind of Pringles can solution heheh

Maybe something like this technique works on WiMAX....

Since I'm at work, I didn't have enough time to do extreme sleuthing, but it looks like WiMax is SOL with this particular product (this one operates at 800/1900 mhz which WiMax is not).

Looking at the Wilson Cell Phone site is hurting my eyes - does anyone know if they make a booster that supports WiMax frequencies (I believe its 2.5 ghz)?
