Signal booster

[Maverick777]

I have the EE 4G Internal Smart Hub. Can you purchase and external signal booster to connect to the Hub?

WiFi-calling is the solution anytime you have a working WiFi signal, which your router provides.

What does that mean please? 

[bristolian]

Your hub provides a WiFi signal.

That allows you to use WiFi-calling on any compatible phone, providing you with indoor coverage anywhere in range of the hub.

@Maverick777 : Signal boosters are no longer supplied.

Consult Check service in your area  to see if any faults are being attended to in your local area.

A "signal booster" is a very popular term amongst users in poor coverage areas, but they've never really existed except in some very specialist situations.

WiFi-calling is EE's recommended way of dealing with poor indoor coverage which is - sooner or later - inevitable in some places. Connect your phone to a WiFi-network and enable WiFi-calling in the settings. You can now make & receive calls, send & receive text messages using WiFi as the coverage instead of the mobile network.

Does your router have antennae ports & of the required type, 2 x TS9 or SMA, I gather?

The spec lists all of EE's current 4G bands (800Mhz, 1800Mhz, 2100Mhz, 2600Mhz) but only N78 for 5G-NR. The other 5G-specific band you should seek is N28-700Mhz
