Anyone using anything external to get better signal into their homes?

I know I can get 140Mbps if I have my phone in the right position in my upstairs office - so it stands to reason that a decent external antenna could yield excellent results.

MikroTik MTAO-LTE-5D-SQ, mANT LTE 5o, 5dBi LTE antenna with 2 x SMA connectors

Been using this for around 8 Months, indoor antennas on TP  Link MR600 gave me around 60 Mbps, installed on outside wall and now have +200 Mbps. Walls are 50 cm stone and have steel inside so block a good percentage of 4G signal. I paid 21 Euros for this and 12 Euros for 5 Metre extension cables.

Hope that's useful.

Wow, yes that is very useful, thank you.

Though if you are buying a new router to do it, better off with an outdoor router you just run ethernet to as you eliminate the losses in the antenna cable and just need to run a single cable.

Less important in a strong signal area, but could increase your speed if your tower is further away.
