Mobile broadband repeater

[SebWalsh]

I have a 4GEE Home Router 2 and would like to increase its range with a couple of extenders/repeaters - what would be the best product to use?

Hi @SebWalsh 

Probably power line adapters/WiFi power line as they plug into the unit. Or you could try moving the 4G unit? 

Depends on the distance you want to cover and current coverage.

Thanks

We live on a narrowboat so the distance isn't far but the router doesn't seem to have much range. We have tried moving it but still can't get the whole length of the boat which is 65 ft. (Installed centrally / 2 = 33 ft) we have 12 volt and 240 volt so would a standard repeater work with the mobile broadband router?

Hi @SebWalsh ,

A quick sanity check whether the signal problem is the same with a few orientations of the router? For example facing the long direction of the space instead of the short direction.

The inbuilt antenna probably doesn't give a perfectly spherical signal and could be quite bad edge-on.
