There is nothing worse in the Internet than poor connection stability and low speed. In such cases, the work becomes unbearable due to torment, you have to leave a comfortable position and try to catch the signal under the ceiling or outside the window. The conversation in this article concerns wireless technologies in data transmission, and the focus will be on the Internet signal amplifier, which with 100% confidence will solve any user problems in this direction.
Search for the middle ground
The task of any user to improve the quality of the Internet is to find equipment that, in addition to low cost, will be highly efficient. That is, the amplifier of Internet signals, logically, should have a price proportional to its effectiveness. The principle of operation of any such device is very simple. It should work in two modes.
- Reception The input signal is amplified in a certain range with the elimination of all kinds of interference.
- Dispatch. The direction of the signal focuses on the approximate location of the tower, which provides coverage and supports data transfer.
Naturally, for each communication standard, a certain data transfer frequency and proprietary technologies to improve quality are used.
Country headache
It is outside the city (cottage, rest in the forest, fishing, hunting, etc.) that the absence of a 3G signal causes great discomfort. As the long-standing practice of improving the video signal of analog television shows , in terms of efficiency there is nothing better than a directional antenna amplifier . A simple metal antenna directed towards the tower can significantly improve signal quality. Finding the necessary device will not be difficult - an USB signal modem amplifier is offered in almost every mobile phone store and is positioned as a mobile accessory operating in the frequency range 900-2400 MHz. The main advantage of such devices is full mobility. In addition to mounting on the roof of a country house, the antenna can be placed on a tree crown in a forest or by a lake, and the large frequency range allows you to improve not only the Internet signal, but also the quality of mobile communications.
Higher, faster, stronger
In addition to the usual directional antenna on the market, you can also find the Connect Street Internet signal amplifier. The manufacturer modestly indicates on the box that the gain is 15-17 dB for all devices operating in the range 1800-2100 MHz. Unlike a conventional directional antenna, by reducing the range and the presence of special devices that can amplify the signal, Connect Street shows excellent results at distances of about 120 km from the service provider's tower. The only drawback is the installation, which, according to the manufacturer's requirements, must be carried out strictly according to the instructions. There can be no question of any mobility of the device, which limits the use of the amplifier outside residential buildings.
From the realm of fiction
The Connect Street Internet signal amplifier is marketed as equipment for external use. That is, for placement on the street. For this, the housing of the base unit and all mounting connections are reliably protected from moisture. In addition to the street version, the user can pay attention to compact devices that are supposed to be installed in close proximity to the 3G modem. So, the Connect Remo Internet signal amplifier is offered on the market in two variations - with and without a USB hub, while the price difference between the devices is 500 rubles. When familiarizing yourself with a user’s device, it may confuse antenna manufacturing material. A funny plastic plate of directional action looks very beautiful, but this is where its advantages end, since in work it shows very low efficiency with external amplifiers of Internet signals.
Small upgrade
Many users are upgrading any Connect internet signal booster. The banal addition of metal to the antenna design significantly increases the efficiency of the device. At some point, any user may have the opinion that the independent manufacture of the antenna from improvised materials will be a good alternative to the devices purchased in the store. In such cases, you need to understand that no needlework is comparable with ready-made technological solutions. In any case, upgrading the amplifier will show a better result than its full production.
And for Connect series antennas, it is necessary to create a metal trap, the task of which is to focus the waves on the receiver. Pasting the plastic part of the plate with foil or attaching a metal circuit to its inner surface will improve the quality of Internet signals.
Professional solutions
Connect Internet amplifier is considered to be one of the best solutions in terms of home use, when only one computer is used in the work. But what about enterprises that often settle down outside the city and don’t have enough finances to lay a dozen kilometers of optics? In such cases, a kit consisting of two directional antennas that are installed at large distances and are directed at each other is used. One set is connected directly to the high-speed data channel, and the second to the user modem. The functionality of such kits depends not only on the accuracy of tuning of two directional antennas. The Internet signal amplifier, located in a special high-frequency unit, performs a lot of functions. In addition to amplification, precise adjustment of the required frequency range occurs, eliminating unnecessary interference and interference.
Through reinforced concrete floors
Internet signal amplifiers for the modem also exist for use within the building. Unlike devices whose task is to improve the quality of signal reception from the base station, there are special repeaters. At the input, such devices have a high-quality 3G signal, and the task is to transmit this signal without loss of quality further to the final receivers (telephones, laptops, tablets). Repeaters are popular at enterprises with reinforced concrete floors between rooms. After all, as you know, metal structures are able to block the path of any signal, so the task of the amplifier is to transmit a signal with a power that will be enough to overcome any barrier. The Nextivity Cel-Fi RS2 Internet signal amplifier deserves positive feedback among the owners of such repeaters, which, judging by the numerous reviews, is guaranteed to deliver a signal through any reinforced concrete floors.
"Crazy hands
In addition to paid solutions, it will not be difficult for any user to create their own Internet signal amplifier. Reviews of many popular devices always have a few suggestions for making the perfect antenna for 3G yourself. The instruction is quite simple and includes several points:
- Find any can of jars and thoroughly wash it under running water.
- With an office knife, it is necessary to cut the bottom of the can under the very base.
- Repeat the procedure with cutting the top of the can, but make sure that the cut is 70-80% complete and the base can be bent to the side.
- The jar is cut with scissors along the entire length, its edges are unbent to the sides.
Quite a suitable result. It is enough to pass the modem itself through the top ring of the can and fix it with tape on the surface of the antenna. The 3G Internet signal amplifiers created in this way are significantly inferior in terms of signal reception quality to the cheapest antennas on the market, because, in addition to technologies, there are other requirements that are very difficult to fulfill at home.
Finally
The description and technical characteristics of devices are not always priority when choosing a purchase in a store, in most cases reviews take on the role of a guide. Connect internet amplifier has a tremendous amount of positive and negative feedback. However, in the end, all come to one thought that the devices of the Connect line have no analogues in the price range available to any buyer. And a little refinement of the amplifier with your own hands will allow any user with minimal financial costs to get a reliable device that will provide coverage for the provider's network in places where no one has gone before.
