I'm looking at trying an external antenna to see if it improves the speeds.
Now, me being me, I just went on Amazon, sorted price lowest first with next day, and ordered a NEDIS 5G / 4G / 3G Antenna for £50, not expecting it to be any good.
Just trying it in the loft, all it did was at most match the download speeds, but near enough half the upload speeds. Faffing about with the different antenna jacks on the back, I managed to get it to match the upload speeds, but half the download speeds!
Realistically, would actually mounting it outside make any difference. It's a slate roof so I'd imagine it would have some impact on the signal.
Should I just scrap the idea and use the internal antenna, or should I spend more and buy a better one?
I have a Sky dish mounted at the front of the house just under the gutter, and an aerial on the chimney, neither of which are even connected. The Sky dish mount would be relatively easy to reuse and get the cable into the loft, but the aerial on the chimney is a bit more of a faff. Would the extra 3 or so metres of height make much of a difference?
