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?

what modem are u using, if want a better speed, suggest u to buy the yagi external antenna for your modem.

if not mistaken, TS is using his handphone

Yes, I use handphone

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

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

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.

this is true too...sharing with everyone

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.

Wah felda area... make sure the antenna is high enough than the surrounding trees.

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

no prob. planning to mount on the astro disc there. LOL

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

Personally I tried different antenna with my Huawei B525, include external flat type, bullet type but end up best result with original Huawei antenna.
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)

Hey thanks for the link.

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.

https://www.lelong.com.my/mobile-phone-sign...7-01-Sale-I.htm

Find WeBoost brand. Quite expensive but very good. Frm Japan i think.

Make sure allign properly to tower. Or you wont have stable connection

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.


mymobilebooster already tested and guarantee to work. You paid for technical support, Warranty and Money Back Guarantee.
Save some money with cheap product and DIY and pray your luck.

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.

thanks for the update...
mind share the price...
including installation or not
planning to get one due to 4G+ only outside of my house 😂

booster page refer here. they have multiple products depend on what you need. I bought the rm1985 set. Bit pricey but I dont really have much choice. After antenna relocation, I'm getting a stable connection now. I even purchased digi mobile broadband for wifi use and terminate streamyx for good. Really satisfied so far.

Installation is straight forward. Plug in cables and turn on power supply. They will assist you as necessary through whatssap.

The only thing that is difficult for some people or lady is to install the outdoor antenna on pole, indoor antenna and to route the cables on walls (hammer/drill etc). I just DIY it, or you may ask others for help too.

thanks for the info blitzbullet
wow... a lot of damages there 🤔

Guy, have a question here, let Say I stay at a residential area and plan to install this booster thing. Will my neighbour around me benefit and take up the traffic of the network from my booster as well? Or can I set it to be non-public that others can’t connect to??

you cant control to avoid others from ur repeated / boosted signal

extreme problems call forth extreme solution. TM net is giving me headache by not fixing the service in my area. Disruption almost 2 months .Been complaining to MCMC and TM net but problem still not solved. If only I had invested in this sooner


Yes everyone around you will gain benefit but I honestly think it is only minor. Reason being, the indoor antenna booster for my case is actually quite weak. I placed it in the living room. Full bar in the living room but in the bedroom, the signal is not so strong (2 bars and sometimes drop to H or 3G). So, I do not think neighbours beyond your walls will gain much. Of course this will also depend on your incoming signal strength and booster anyway, but I can only speak on my condition.

Yea, this is what convey by the mymb support. Already ordered one of the package from them gonna test it out soon.

im experiencing the same condition as ts with weak to non existent E inside house while outside is pretty good and communications tower only nearby

so far how is your experience ts?

So far so good. Even during rain, the green light on the device gone (meaning quality drop), but the 4G still there, and speed still maintained at least over 10mb. Been playing online games with no lag too.

i see. thanks though. contacted them already (the name is sim) and they instructed me to do some test at home 1st

Hi, Great option! i also on planned to buy Cellular Booster and i need some shares about it. Need the boost results info. Now i was thinking and make some research about the frequencies of band that i received. Here in my situations i used 2sim umobile & Digi, yes after made some scanning the Umobile near me serving Only U900 & L1800. I'm using "Net Monitor Lite" from google apps, maybe this apps will help.

I have a similar problem, i was thinking to do long range wireless bridge however i have to erect two towers 40m which is quite expensive. Now im thinling about using this booster for unifi air.

Here i need some opinions about doing this:

If im not mistaken, unifi air is working as the concept with mobile signal? No? If it yes, then i can proceed to buy booster antenna, position it direstly to the tower and connect to unifi air.

Is it possible to do this?

MyMB seems having good review but pricey..

Sorry to bring this up.. is it legal to boost the signal?
I read somewhere that its not legal but correct me if i am wrong.

It's illegal

Yup.. i bought 4g wifi router instead
