Device / Antenna for cell / internet access via cell   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5256 of 5372 |
I keep my Foretravel in my garage 40 X 60 commercial metal building,
when the doors (Metal) are closed, I have no cell useage and very slow
internet access via the same cell (Verizon) system. Just wonder if
anyone has an idea for a workable antenna or reeater or ???

Need a suggestion.

Thanks
