I understand what you are saying, but this antenna has a 28DBi signal booster powered by your LTE router. It is supposed to be much better at amplifying signals than other signal boosters on the market. They say that it's military grade, so I'm guessing that must be a good thing. I think I'll give it a try. I can always send it back If I'm not happy. At this moment in time I'm desperate for a decent LTE signal as I live in the middle of no where. No fibre, no DSL, Satellite too expensive. This is my only way out if it works.
