The best cellular and internet signal boosters for 2020

The amplifier is responsible for ensuring high-quality and stable reception of the mobile network signal. The modern market provides a wide selection of various repeaters. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you an overview of the best amplifiers for cellular communication and the Internet.

Where to start choosing a repeater?

The choice of an amplifier directly depends on the goals and needs of the user, therefore the first step before purchasing such a useful and necessary device is to determine the standard of cellular services that the consumer prefers to use. Some users want to improve the communication quality. When choosing a device, they need to pay attention to a GSM amplifier. To increase the speed of mobile Internet, you need to purchase a 3G antenna or a 3G repeater. If you need to strengthen the mobile signal and increase the Internet speed, you can give preference to a 2-band GSM / 3G cellular amplifier.

The second step is to check the current cellular signal strength. This can be done using multiple mobile phones, as the sensitivity of mobile antennas can vary significantly. When the scale of signal reception inside the dwelling does not exceed a pair of divisions, then the gain of the device must be at least 65 dB. For a more complete test, you need to go outside and check the signal strength there. A pair of divisions will indicate the need to purchase an amplifier with a coefficient of at least 80 dB. It makes no sense to purchase equipment with a gain of less than 65 dB because of the low result.

The area of ​​the room is also an important aspect. The larger the room, the higher the repeater output power will be required by the user. If the coverage area is less than 200 sq. m, then a standard 100 mW repeater is quite suitable. When it is equal to 600 or 800 sq. m, then you need a 300 mW device.

Considering these aspects, there should be no problems with the choice of a mobile amplifier. But choosing the right repeater is only part of the job of strengthening mobile communications. An equally important factor is the correct installation of this device.

Booster 3G / 4G

The most popular recently for amplifying the signal of cellular communication is 3G and 4G equipment, which can be divided into the following types:

• Indoor signal repeater for USB modem;
• A common mobile signal booster;
• USB modem or router equipped with an external antenna;
• Outdoor 3G / 4G antenna with built-in modem or router.
• 

Repeater room view

Such amplifiers are a thin piece of foil, which is packed in low quality plastic. The antenna can give practically no gain. The cost of this type of equipment is about 1,500 rubles. The amplification effect is achieved by moving the modem closer to the window, where the signal level may be slightly higher. The beautiful packaging of this equipment is considered the main advantage for which the user pays a rather significant amount.In addition, the user needs to purchase an additional USB modem / router and a separate SIM card, thanks to which access to the Internet will be organized. The inefficiency of using such a device has long been proven by many users.

Conventional mobile signal booster

In this case, an external antenna is mounted outside the room to receive a signal from mobile operators. It connects with a cable to an amplifier inside the building. This type of amplification allows you to provide a large area with mobile communications or the Internet. The gain directly depends on the repeater model. It can be between 60 and 90 dB. This type of reinforcement can be used not only in the country, but also in multi-storey buildings. Repeaters of this kind can be single-band or multi-band. They are distinguished by high efficiency, reliability, and no requirement to purchase additional SIM cards. In addition, there is the possibility of scaling the system. After purchasing and installing such a repeater, smartphones reduce battery consumption. The only drawback of such an amplifier will be the need to remove the external antenna at a distance from the internal one. The cost of such an amplification system is up to 14,000 rubles.

USB modem / router equipped with an external antenna

This equipment can be assembled with your own hands or you can purchase a ready-made box solution. An outdoor antenna is connected to an existing USB modem inserted into a PC or connected to a Wi-Fi router using a cable. The most budget models of this kind of amplifier are characterized by low efficiency, so savings on this equipment will be inappropriate. If you choose the right amplifier, you can get a slight increase in mobile communications or the Internet up to 15 dB. There are few disadvantages of such a repeater, but they are still there. These include weak gain, low reliability, the need to purchase a SIM card for the Internet.

Outdoor 3G / 4G antenna with built-in modem and router

This repeater version is considered the most expensive. A hybrid outdoor antenna with built-in Wi-Fi router and USB modem is installed outside the house. A PoE adapter installed inside the house can significantly enhance the cellular signal. The cost of this equipment can be up to 20,000 rubles. With high gain and a properly defined operating frequency, a hybrid antenna will provide a stable and stable signal. Such an antenna is rather difficult to maintain, because most of these devices are assembled by handicraft in Russia or China.
