Built-in 3G / 4G modem antennas often cannot provide sufficient increase in cellular signal for many reasons - an insufficient coverage area, obstacles in the form of buildings and walls, and much more, up to the weather. As a result - wireless internet loses speed. Let's try to enhance the 3G / 4G modem signal at home and with minimal cost.
1
We will need:
Modem.
USB cable (USB extension).
Metal bank.
Scissors for metal or other tool for cutting tin.
2
We connect the 3G / 4G modem not directly to the laptop, but through the cable. We try to move the modem on the room, as far as the cable is enough. It is possible that you will find a place where the signal level will be quite powerful and will not need further actions. Usually this place is at the window, perhaps even what will happen to post the modem outside the window. But remember that a very long cable (more than 3 m) also loosens the signal. In such cases, you need to buy the so-called USB active cable (with an amplifier chip), it is much more expensive than usual.

If the quality of communication does not satisfy us - we are moving on. We take the jar, cut through with scissors or another suitable tool a small window and placing the modem inside the can.
4
We repeat the search for a place where the signal will be the most powerful and fix the design there.
5
Of course, you can purchase ready-made antennas, but not the fact that they will work better than our design, but a serious factory antenna, a guaranteed signal will cost a round sum, and the modem must have nests for connecting such an antenna, which is not In old models.
Generally speaking, if your hands grow out of the right place and there is a research itching - you can experiment with signal reflectors - from simple cartons ...
... to the basin.
