Spent a couple of hours yesterday troubleshooting an E My People email set up, only to find (after a tech call w/ EMyPeople) that the signal was too weak to get through. (The tech was able to access the jetpack, but I was only able to Ping one of the two addresses he had me test.)
I figured it was weather conditions, since this installation has been working fine for some months. (It's back up this morning.)
So do any of you all have a recommendation for a good cellular signal booster? (One person has suggested WeBoost. Feedback?)
Thanks for any input anyone can offer.

Re: cellular signal strength booster
If you’re using a Jetpack try connecting an external antenna. Cell phone boosters are iffy although I did use one last winter that sort of worker - if you stood in the exact right spot.

Re: cellular signal strength booster
I don't think this one has a port for attaching an external antenna. This is at a business in Charm, and I took the jetpack outside, and barely got 3 bars standing almost on the road. One person I consulted via email said that for cellular boosters, the unit and the antenna must not be close together, or they would start a signal loop.
Thanks for the input, Josh. This is all outside my main area of experience, so every suggestion is helpful.

Weboost brand of boosters work great when installed correctly. Most of the cheaper Chinese ones do either not work, or do not support the correct bands needed in the US.
