Im at the family cabin and the cellphone data speed is atrocious. Any way to build a powered antenna that is connected to my phone to boost the speed? Would google but loading /diy/ itself already took like 3 to 5 minutes.

>The Wilson Sleek® 4G is a cell phone signal booster, designed to better access cell tower signals to boost the voice and data signal of one’s mobile phone device when in areas of spotty cell coverage. It purports to work for all carriers and to boost all signals up to 4G.
You could also crack open your phone, locate the antenna and see if you can improve it somehow. Like extend it outside the phone.

Don't know about iPhones but I have run coax from an external antenna on a pole to a Wilson amp to the external jack on my phone. This turned zero bars into 1.5, which ain't great but a significant improvement over nothing.
But it was a lot of trouble. The best antenna is parabolic turned to the exact freq your cell tower and phone are communicating on, but you can just use a yagi.

just ignore your phone and pay attention to the physical world around you. that is the true way of /diy/
summer faggot
Not op but interested, how do you external antenna a smartphone? Just so I can stay in my mom's basement and still get a signal?

I know one passive hack that worked for a guy I know.
You basically make a dish for your phone - Take umbrella, cover inside part with foil, attach phone to handle where the hot spot would be, direct to you cell tower.
