Ok, I am using Digi and having bad signal in my house, barely achieve 1 bar or E. Outside seems ok, with 4G LTE available. Might planning to change to Celcom or Maxis but the plan doesnt seem to be as good as Digi. Both service providers signal is only slightly better anyway.

I am planning to purchase mobile signal booster

Now, after looking online, I've seen multiple models serving for specifically frequency band 1800 or 2600. I know from online reading that 1800 will offer higher coverage, but slower speed compared to 2600.

Anyone know if I can get 4G (with decent speed 3mbs) by boosting 1800Mhz range? Or do I need 2600Mhz?

how u gonna connect your hp to the external antenna? DIY? laugh.gif laugh.gif

if u want a better signal coverage n speed, better invest into a modem. my house indoor sginal also weak, 2bar 3G only... hardly can run the internet. using modem is ok, if u able to locate a good spot within the house.

bro, thats why u see the link I provide. There will be 2 antennas. 1 outside home, it will then connected to the booster. Then install another antenna inside home which is also connected to the booster output. Basically, u take outdoor signal, amplify it and release the amplified signal inside home. based on my reading that is how it should be.

But I have concern on the frequency bands available vs the booster itself. Cuz, booster that cater for full range frequency band is damn expensive.

Band 2600Mhz is more costly for the device.

The repeater has higher exposure to radio frequency if I'm not wrong as everyone also can enjoy your mobile boost service.

yeap i see it... i know how is works. but u can try it and review it laugh.gif

mostly user are using modem to get a stable internet connection. the amplifier works like a power supply to the external antenna, as long cable will have signal lost. from speed wise, b3 1800 speed is faster than b7 2600. if your area is congested then will be different.

then when come to your hp, does it rooted or none rotted? if u are using digi, digi are using 3band, b3, b7 and b8. if your hp are none rotted u will get a random band see which ever some first.

Thank you for the info. I am not rooting it. I live in Felda area LOL. I guess, I will just need to check what is the available band in my area. If all existed, and in this case I am boosting 1800mhz, the phone will definitely take the strongest signal right.

Weird if b7 1800 is faster than 2600, cuz the 2600 equipment is much more expensive.

Well, the antenna will be inside my house, so I dont think others will receive good signal. Except those staying inside.

b7 2600 only available in 4G+ area. if normal area only have 4G u will only have b3 1800 and b8 signal.

i suggest u better invest into a modem to test it first example b618-65D, incase not good then sell of the modem. antenna boost not really give much effect if the device/modem itself internal antenna not strong. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

that is sim card modem to create hot spot. Will it improve signal receiving? The problem that I have is, I have very bad signal reception at home. Thanks for the suggestion tho

My company use this company one My MB
Boosting from 1bar to 4 bar but cost is high and we use it at remote area to use wireless broadband.
There must be exiting signal to boots or there will no help sweat.gif

Personally I tried different antenna with my Huawei B525, include external flat type, bullet type but end up best result with original Huawei antenna. doh.gif
Speed and bar before : 2 bar / 30M DL, 4 bar / 60M DL (Digi)
Speed and bar before : 1 bar / 8M DL, 3 bar / 10M DL (Yes4G)
Speed and bar before : 2 bar / 20M DL, 4 bar / 40M DL (Maxis)
Speed and bar before : 3 bar / 1M DL, 4 bar / 2M DL (Celcom)

Yes, those things work. If your area have weak LTE, it will amply the LTE signal. Best get it from local dealer who have warranty because some from overseas might have lousy cable that doesn't work, plus other things.

anyone got real experience on using the rm350 signal booster device?
its great if its able to boost around 40-50% signal..

even though mymobilebooster.com say how good their device is and all BUT the price is a big turn off. Not end user home friendly price.

from digi tered B3 more better speed, coverage than B7.
Every telco have specific frequency licence. Off the market booster will boost all frequency from all telco. Poor @ cheap made booster boost everything plus noise & interfere with telco networks. Pity your neighbour when internet and call from all mobile operator always drop for no reason.

some update. I purchased mymobilebooster and paid using installment. So far even though source signal quite weak, I am satisfied with what I get considering the area that I am living.

Source signal (outdoor) - Band 3, -100 dpm
Boosted indoor - getting 4G (band 3), -80 to 90 dpm. DL speed around 14Mbs.
previous indoor quality - 0 to 1 bar 3G or H. 4G basically non existant.

Only problem is signal stability during online gaming causing lag from time to time. Later I am trying to relocate the outdoor antenna see if I can get better coverage.
