Thanks for the reply but I'm looking for something that's a little bit more clear . my home is in the middle of 3 sprint towers I want to know if my phone is connecting to one of those and which one also want to make sure my phone is not connecting to a tower like all the way in texas or sonething like cause that wouldn't give me the best connection possible especially since I'm in southern CAL

Try Open Signal Maps in the market. It shows you the tower you are connected to on the map. It wasn't dead on for me but close enough that I could find it while driving by. Hope that works for you.

I thought this was gonna be a rant about the shit towers lately like I posted about in my own thread in the carrier discussion section. anyway in most cases the average tower connection is within 15-25 miles of ones home. I think im actually connected to a tower 50 miles from me, most phones are designed to connect to the nearest best functioning tower.

Got a link on some sort of setup guide for the Airave? I got one too and it causes as many problems as it solves. Signal strength goes from 5 bars down to 0 while standing still. Texts can't send (never had that problem before Airave).

Found a tip that shows how to get into its router setup, didn't really help. A phone support guy from Sprint told me that the dipole antenna radiates best from out of each side so I turned the Airave (Airvana) 90 degrees.
