Newbie to mobile broadband here.
A question for you tech dudes. Is there an indoor antenna I could plug into the back of my 3 network, ZTE MC801A just to improve reception a little on my window sill? Would that help my wifi output or would it just work for the inbound signal...or not at all? I notice there are 2 little sockets on the back? I don't want to drill holes to the outside wall..
If I stand on one leg in my upstairs bedroom I can get around 900 meg dload speeds, via a network cable straight into a laptop. When I put the box downstairs (where I need it) the signal is only slightly lower...still high 800s, I guess I must be pretty near to a 3 mast? Is there a map online of their masts because I can't seem to find one? When I use wifi I can get 5-600 on my Samsung phone...only 250-260 on the laptop...still a lot better than my old landline internet!
I'm impressed with it so far but worried that speeds may drop mysteriously when my 14 day cooling off period ends! ;-) (Call me cynical!).
Thanks in advance for any tips or general advice.
