Boost MiFi (WiFi) Hotspot Data Speed w/Signal Booster for Cell Router

Use Mobile Hotspot Signal Boosters to Boost MiFi (WiFi) Signals.

Empowering Portability: How Hotspot Boosters Strengthen Mi-Fi (Wi-Fi) Signals.

Do you use a mobile hotspot to empower your devices? Use Mifi signal booster (which is same as a cell signal booster) to improve strength of mobile connections. You can use External Antenna that Connects to External Antenna Port of your Cellular Hotspot or Use DC / AC Powered Mobile Hotspot Signal Booster.

In a world where mobile devices have crossed the 7 billion mark, the answer to the above question is most likely a yes. We need internet in every corner of the world to breathe life into the mobile devices that would otherwise be impotent without the internet feeding them every second. Not just any sluggish internet. We need the bars to be fast, quick, and easily-accessible.

No wonder hotspot devices are gaining popularity. Be it a Mi-Fi, and AirCard or even a USB Internet Stick, more and more people seek their advantage to create a portable network. Please note there's a difference between mobile hotspot (MiFi) that use cell towers for originating service, and broadband Internet hotspot (WiFi) that uses cable or DSL Internet service from local ISP for originating service.

The latter uses landline phone and cable networking that sends data eventually to a wireless router that provides WiFi hotspot. Cell boosters boost range and coverage of mobile hotspots (MiFis). Wifi boosters extend coverage/range of wifi hotspots (WiFis). For more detailed explanation, see our blog post detailing differences between Wi-Fi and Mi-Fi. 

I am using a portable device. Do I need a Hostpot Booster?

Perfect cellular signals exist only in utopian world. More often than not, every one of us has had a brush with poor cellular signals, be it indoors or on-the-go. Did you know some of the most common reasons for poor signal strength on your devices?

• Geographic features such as lofty mountains and trees result in spotty signals in rural and isolated areas.
• This problem is further blown-out of proportion if your carrier's cellular towers happen to be outside a respectable distance of your location. If you have opted for a Wi-Fi device to meet your internet demands in an area where there is no cable or DSL service, it can get especially frustrating since you are paying for internet and are not getting quality service at the same time.
• Structural components such as metal bars, window glasses, and concrete can diminish signal strengths penetrating a building even if the cellular tower is erected right next to it.  Of course, the very first set of troubleshooting options is to hold your hotspot device/phone near an opening as close in the direction of the cellular tower as possible. But if portability is really what you’re looking for, how long can you sustain with this option?

Are you a victim of poor signal strength from a Mi-Fi device ("Mi-Fi" where, "M" stands for "Mobile" - the mobile version of traditional broadband "Wi-Fi" where "W" stands for "Wireless")? If yes, then an external magnet mount antenna could come to your aid. It extends and complements the much smaller and less powerful built-in antenna inside your mobile hot-spot device.

How do I use an External Antenna to boost signal?

Quickly deployable than most other powered options, attaching a premium external antenna to the hotspot is a non-powered and an easy way to boost mobile Mi-Fi (Wi-Fi) signals in your vicinity. Unlike AC or DC powered signal boosters, connecting one of our vehicle exterior antennas to your mobile hotspot does not require registration with your cellular service provider.

Most mobile routers or hotspot come equipped with an external antenna port. Simply connect the connector on the cable that comes attached to external antennae to that antenna port on your hotspot device. You may need a connector depending upon the connector of your hotspot antenna port such as a SMA Male external antenna port connector. Antennas can be directly connected to a hotspot device if it has a set of common connectors such as the SMA, TNC, N or Mini-UHF crimped into its cable, as is the case with routers. If your choice of an external antenna with cable does not have your hotspot antenna port compatible connector, you can purchase a screw-on adapter to make it compatible.

In case an external antenna fails to bring about a significant change in the Mi-Fi (Wi-Fi) signal strength, a DC or AC hotspot booster is the ultimate answer to all your woes. They are much more powerful than a non-powered external antenna solution.

What is a Hotspot Booster?

A Hotspot Booster (also known as a signal booster or a repeater) will strengthen the signal delivered from your Wi-Fi or your Hotspot device, thereby improving connectivity on all the devices that feed-off it.

A Hotspot Booster is basically an assembly of an outside antenna, an amplifier, and an inside antenna.

1. Outside Antenna takes weak outside signals and feeds them to the amplifier within the boosting device.
2. Amplifier strengthens the signal up to 32x and delivers it to the inside antenna.
3. Inside antenna broadcasts the amplified signal to your hotspot device.

Because a hotspot device is only as good as the cellular signal it receives, hotspot boosters perfectly fill the shoes of a cellular amplifier. Except, the signals they amplify will strengthen the signal on your hotspot device that eventually improves connectivity and data speeds on all the devices connected to it: be it a tablet, a laptop, or a smartphone. This is the exact difference that a hotspot booster brings on the table as compared to a regular cellular amplifier.

Which Hotspot Booster is right for me?

Hotspot boosters come in a wide variety:

If you need a direct-connect antenna booster to connect directly to your mobile modem antenna port, the Signal 4G would work as long as there's a way to place antenna in an area of strong signal within a short distance of a few feet. For example, this antenna signal booster works great for Machine to Machine (M2M) applications. Examples include vending machines, ATM's, etc. that have weak signal inside the machine where the wireless router is located, but good signal outside on top of the machine where magnetic antenna can be placed.

If you're looking to boost Wi-Fi signals within a large building on an industrial grade scale, the Force 5 2.0 is the one stop solution to cater to all those multiple hotspots scattered within the building up to a range of 25K to 100K sq. ft.

On a smaller, yet commercial scale - the Fusion 5X boosts speed of all voice & data on cell phones and mobile hotspots or cellular routers within areas up to 20,000 square feet.

On a smaller consumer scale, the Fusion 5s consumer grade signal booster is the perfect choice to meet the needs of an entire home or a small building spanning up to 7000 sq ft.

If you're just looking to satisfy cellular modem signal requirements for only a single office, a small home office, or even a small room or an apartment, you need not look further than the Fusion4Home, perfect for serving limited areas up to 4000 sq. ft.

For on-the-go solutions, a single device cradle booster such as the FusionTrek will cater to all your one device boosting problems. If your hotspot boosting needs are limited to single cell phone, or MiFi cell modem in your car, go for a cradle booster. But if frequent group travels with multiple devices cooped within a single vehicle is your thing, you need to upgrade to the wireless in-vehicle signal booster. With In-vehicle wireless signal booster, multiple devices such as laptops, tablets, and cell phones will easily see 2-3 bar improvement.

For wheels meandering through areas with very poor and spotty signal strengths such as RVs, consider the Fusion2Go 3.0 RV with improved cellular tower reach capacity as compared to other hotspot boosters in this category. With its large omni-directional antenna, it works very well for a larger moving area such as an RV or a truck.

Pro-Tips.

1. In case of buildings, you might want to place the Wi-Fi device as close to the indoor antenna as possible for maximum signal strength void of any dissipation.
2. In case of cars, locate both the hotspot and the booster towards the centre of your vehicle to ensure maximum throughput across all the devices nestled inside.

No matter which one of above you choose, all of these hotspot boosters are designed to support all major carrier hotspots, including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Further, these devices need no connection to a landline internet in order to work. Just install the booster in an appropriate location within the building or your vehicle and you are good to go!
