Can I buy a sim router and extend antenna to gable?

B-D-P-- · 2018-08-02 10:52:53

The line has terrible internet where i live, However I see I am in an Outdoor 4g area. Indoor 3g, and It will have to travel through a roof, a lot of insulation and hollowcore. So Can I put simcard based router in the office, and run a cable to the gable and have the reciever outside? Whats needed to do it? What is needed…

Whats needed to do it?

What is needed on router to have external antenna?
What wire could I use to run the antenna? Cat6/Coaxle
And what antenna would work?

Sorry for stupid questions but Im a noob.

Looking for legal route, No back alley answers.

You need a B593 or similar and some antennas to match which use their own cables. With 4G its a PAIR of cables, a single cable system won't work. Locate the cell you want to connect to and aim towards it.
