Not scared of cancer living so close to the base station?

Anyway, on the 790s, did you try connect to MIMO antenna? Maybe can improve the speed.

Anyone tried with power signal booster instead just plain antenna?

Digi Center also not guarantee good signal.

If you say beside a Digi Base station, then you got a case.

Finally got a powered 1800MHz cell phone signal booster.

Ordered together with a 8dbi Panel antenna and an 18-element (15dbi or 12dbi?) Yagi DCS 1800MHz (band 3) antenna.
Aiming the Yagi directly at the cell tower gives the best result. But the panel antenna is already giving pretty good speeds to begin with

Pros
Speed on Phone increased tremendously. (It's a cell phone signal booster )
SINR improved from 2dBi to 7dBi, and I don't have to sit at a specific place to get good speeds on the mobile

Cons
Because it is cheaply made, it gives out a ton of interference. If I placed it at the wrong place, say next to my wifi router, I will not be able to detect my WiFi SSID. So placement of the TX antenna from the booster is important.
Single band B3 cannot beat a well placed 'MIMO antenna' with LTE-CA enabled

The key takeway is, that 'MIMO antenna' for the price and size, is really bang for buck device.
Next, I will try the booster at my hometown, where the DIGI coverage is non existant in house. Hopefully it will work better in that environment.

New method of Digi Capping on 150 Infinite.

I am getting 30Mbps via speed test D/U
Watching 4k streams on Youtube, I can stream them without any issues even at peak hours 8pm-10pm.

Try to stream from Rapid Video/Daily Motion, and the speed slows down to 1Mbps.

Better put on the tin foil hat.
If not, you will get brain cancer


53dBm is quite near. My friend has trouble locking his car due to the interference when his car lock battery was low.

Configure to B3+B7
Buy Mimo antenna.

Its the very same that i am using.
Very effective for its size and price.

Make sure you get the sma version

This is a WCDMA Antenna.
B3 LTE - DCS 1800MHz is also using the same type of antenna.

As such, this antenna is working with LTE.
Just fix your band to B3 in order to maximize the performance.

Restart your router daily.
Found that my E5186 will slow down everyday.

After restart I get back the high speed.

Tried 1x booster method with Yagi on B3. Still cannot beat MIMO antenna due to MIMO antenna being 2T2R (B3+B7)
Too many looses from the connector, cable, Omni <-> LTE modem. Unless you install both B3 and B7 boosters.

Booster will work if you want to boost your cellphone signal.
But for Digi Infinite where most of us are using it to replace our main internet line, it is not as effective.

Sometime can open youtube in 2160p smoothly.
While some websites wont even load

Can you pay the bills by top up prepaid reload method for this plan?

Certain Tiger bank offering 20% off reloads.

Any difference between your setup and 790 + 4G MIMO only?

Want to know if smart cradle does anything for signal improvement

That's the most bang for buck antenna.
If you cannot get better signal, then you will need to spend hundreds >RM500 with dual band signal boosters + dual yagi antenna.

Put higher than roof also no use sometimes.
Try put indoors with windows closed, the signal might be better, especially in high density areas. Filters out the weak signals.

Register new sim.
Don't register with your prepaid sim number

This app only approximate the tower location. If you go to the location pointed by the app, there is nothing. But it is good in updating the RSSI in real time.
For more accurate tower location, use 'Network Cell Info'. It can tell you what tower, the Cell ID and the Band that you are currently connected. Also, the Cell ID number matches the ones you see in the Huawei ToolBox. Which makes it much easier for you to verify your measurements.

Some towers have both Band 3 and Band 7. So just point the MIMO directly towards the tower.

Yes you can get lte-A.
Rsrp -100dbm is indeed quite low. But with 2CA, the speed should be good.

Hook up a mimo antenna and your speed should increase.

Best antenna for the size and price.

Most of us are using the '88dbi' MIMO Antenna.
Best bang for buck.
Don't know the actual gain of the antenna, but it does a hell of a good job


Indoor vs outdoor. In places with large signal interference, sometimes it is better to place your antenna indoors to shield it from all the weak signals kacau-ing your base station lock.

For my case, I put my antenna indoors, pointed line of sight to the base station.
Placing outdoors gets me little to no improvement, with risk to rain/heat damage.


BTW, to effectively point antenna, first you need to find out which base station is the strongest, and point towards it. Use apps like network cell info, which gives the best base station location.
