Well Brad... you were spot on. Put the antenna up about 15b (5b above
the trailer) even fabricated a ground plane under it... and it absolutely no
difference in signal strength or dBm readout... thatbs a hundred bucks in
the wind...
suggestions ???
thanks

John,
I think you're using the same jetpack I am. I also have an external antenna
and if I remember right at most I would see one bar increase and possibly no
bar increase. Been a while since I looked at it.
When I get home I'll check what the status is on mine and let you know.
Also, my Verizon 4g isn't super fast but it is faster than satellite by a fair
margin. At least near Richmond Kentucky which is where I'm at.

Ib m trying to set up a verizon 4620i jetpack for remote internet access...
signal seems poor 2 bars and very slow access...
Ib m also trying an omnidirectional antenna to boost the signal... supposed
to be a 9 db gain antenna
http://www.antennagear.net/catalog/9LTE-VW-OEM-SMK-Set(3).png
when I connect antenna I see no increase in bars and looking at the display
on
the jetpack I see no change
in the RSSI it is at 32% and b 114 dBi
surely an outside antenna should increase my signal
can someone explaoin the 32% % of what ??
and is b 114 dBi good or bad... would b 125dBi be better or worse... I
donb t understand the nomenclature I guess
thanks
john
