home antenna

Anyone out there got a home antenna installed?

I have EE 4G widget in my rural location but not happy with it, drops all the time and my work is suffering :+(

Is it worth me looking at a home antenna?

@indigowolf What’s the signal like outside your property ?

Hi @indigowolf,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Is your router dropping its connection to the internet or are your connected devices dropping WiFi?

Hi,

I don't have a router, I have a mini widget thingy - that seems to drop connection :+(

Hi @indigowolf

I'm not sure what device you mean, do you know the name of it?

Thanks

Chris

@indigowolf Thanks.

When your signal drops is it the WiFi device that loses connection, or do your devices lose their connection with the WiFi?

Thanks

The wifi device - I think, but also the devices - it 'looks' like there is no connection at all and no available networks

@indigowolf Has this always happened or is it something that recently started happening?

Thanks

I've only been using this mini thingy for three weeks or so but it's been a constant pain , no day without a failed call or connection

Hi @indigowolf

Thanks for coming back to us.

Do we have any issues showing on the Coverage and Network Status Checker for your area?

Thanks 🙂
