3G or 4G modem signal gain

Cellular operators today are actively working on the quality of 3G signal coverage. It became very convenient to use the Internet, the modem signal is very high within the city. All you need is to get a USB modem for a PC or laptop. However, in many localities to use this miracle of progress is simply impossible because of a weak signal, there are still many so-called “dead zones” on the map. One should not count on such a good Internet speed in such places: the speed here is surprisingly low or it is impossible to “catch” the connection. The 3G and 4G signal amplifier will help to cope with this problem. How to build and use it correctly? Let's try to figure it out!

Some localities are still without Internet

Ways of amplification

Experienced users went through several options with which you can enhance the modem signal, and chose the most effective ones. It:

  • Buying a kit with a 3G or 4G repeater;
  • construction of a special antenna;
  • moving the device to the street or closer to the window;
  • using a reflector.

Modem permutation

If you put a laptop with a 3G or 4G modem on the street or place it on a windowsill, the signal can be increased by about 15 percent. Make a street modem is not hard, you only need to buy a USB extension cable. The solution is considered not the best, but the least expensive. If we talk about the shortcomings, it is:

  • the inability to improve the performance of the connection on the phone;
  • the presence of an extension leads to a loss of signal power;
  • you need to choose some one point, it will be inconvenient to move around the house;
  • The speed does not change much.

Reflector

To make such a device for a modem, you can even do it yourself. The method is considered very popular, because to create a reflector you do not need to spend a lot of money and a long time to study the process.

The modem signal can even boost a colander, which is very convenient if the network is gone, for example, in the country. In addition, you can use a tin of tin, an optical disk or a conventional saucepan. All you need to do is put the modem in the center of the reflector you choose. Homemade "device" will focus on a 3G or 4G-modem signal.

If you decide to use a kitchen pan, you can put the device inside, or you can upgrade the structure: solder the wire to the pan, then place the equipment exactly in the center. One more detail - the laptop should be nearby, otherwise the signal will weaken while it goes along the cable.

The method requires the user to display some ingenuity and ingenuity. By spending a little time developing the reflector, you can increase the modem signal on your laptop by 20 percent.

Recalling the disadvantages, we note:

  • it is not so easy for some users to recreate the design of the reflector;
  • the product may be too bulky;
  • the signal is not amplified as desired;
  • the place where your “base” is located may not be the most convenient.

Manufacturing 3G or 4G antennas

With the instruction you can do almost any thing with your own hands. Many have heard about the antenna Kharchenko, which can also be disposed of to improve the performance of the Internet. For its production will need an understanding of the microwave, as well as certain skills.

Tools you need:

  • soldering iron;
  • file;
  • pliers;
  • copper tube;
  • wire (3 mm).

The main role here is played by the dimensional accuracy of all components. If you make a mistake in the calculations, the effectiveness of the method can be forgotten.

Interestingly, these antennas are also on sale. The signal with their help it is possible to amplify up to 20 dB.

Strengthen the signal fails very much, the implementation is highly complex. In addition to the above tools, you will need an adapter, coaxial wire, bracket, crimping device. To make such a construction is possible only after a thorough study of the issue and the availability of a detailed drawing.

3G and 4G repeater

This is a really effective signal amplification method. The product of this type reduces the negative effect of radiation, it is compatible with all modems that are connected to the computer via USB. In addition, the repeater works fine with the products of all mobile operators. You will not have to disassemble the modem itself, which means that the warranty on this device will remain.

It is possible to enhance the signal with the help of a repeater even if it is not possible to catch 3G at all. Experts recommend trying different locations (you may even need to climb into the attic, but the result is worth it).

The kit includes several components:

  • cable that connects the antenna with the repeater;
  • internal antenna for communication with subscriber devices;
  • signal amplifier;
  • external antenna (needed for communication with the operator’s stations).

This kit allows you to maximize the signal, improve the quality of communication on the phone. In addition, with its help you will be able to provide the entire family of 3G and 4G. Installing a repeater is not difficult and fast enough, the design itself looks very ergonomic.

As you can see, there are several methods that allow you to improve the signal quality of 3G and 4G with your own hands. Nevertheless, the kit with a repeater, which can be purchased at a specialty store, is most effective. The specified device will allow you to forget about problems with the Internet!
