Femto Cisco Booster

iancerrig · ‎24-08-2022

Hi, I have a EE mobile contract with work. I have been given the Cisco Router to boost the signal. Recently the booster only flashes green, and I cant get a signal on the phone. Any recommendations, or does anyone know if these devices still work?

Many thanks,

Many people call the old Signal Boxes "boosters" when actually they are 3G microcells that use a broadband connection.

They are now legacy technology and with the impending 3G-switchoff, are no longer supported. If your phone supports WiFi-calling as mentioned, then enabling that using the same broadband connection the signal box was connected to, is now the recommended solution.
