Faster Internet From Trash – DIY LTE Antenna

Upcycle, recycle, whatever you call it. Come along to see if we can take some trash and turn it into a strong DIY 4G LTE antenna.

If the the mimo antenna is wider than the feedhorn it might be necessary to move it away from the focal point to ensure full coverage. Aliexpress sells better dedicated 4G/5G mimo feedhorns, and putting the LTE router in a weatherproof box, either directly plugged into the feedhorn or used as the antenna itself and running Ethernet cable from that avoids the respective significant to huge loss of signal from the connecting cables at lower and higher frequencies.
I did this with the Satellite for internet and used a digitial mhz modifier to match the best 5G signals and as it fires 400watts at the tower I went from 10mbit to 999-1000mbit (telco limit). Shh 😀 currently between 3580-3600mhz for my ISP. Also, as I am in a Valley, other things like my phone have full signal.
However, https://www.acma.gov.au/cellular-mobile-repeaters. Found out it is illegal to amplify mobile signal and I got a fine of over $400k and 2 years jail commencing next week. Unreal
Can you input the mhz frequency you want?
what did you do to permanently affix the lte antenna to the dish?
Great. I have an old dish on my cabin from the previous owners, and my solar setup used lte but drops out a lot. Now i just need to figure out where to aim it.
Is that dish a tv dishe
What exactly is the device "sma connected" you used? Once it is mounted on the satellite do you then have cabling going from that inside the house to a router? or is it wireless waterproof router? How is it powered…
Did you ever test the antenna speeds before you mounted it on the satellite dish? If so curious what they were 🙂
UPDATE BROTHER
Do you still have that setup?
I'm interested in how you set it up towards the tower.
HEY THE PARABOLIC ANTENNA IS THE BEST BROTHER?
4:01 he he he
Ok what kind of cables are u using? I have an old direct TV dish that's on a 5 – 6 feet pole mounted. Would that be high enough?
Does this work in sweden to? We have tried everything but only get about 7-10 mbit in a good sunny day. Will this work so we can get at least 60 mbit i would ve very happy 😍
Hello excellent work very inspiring, could you tell me what model of router I use in this test, greetings
It doesn’t come from space lol
Can you show us what's inside that $16 antenna? Please!
I have Verizon cell service, I don't have a modem with that kind of connection. Could I purchase a modem from like Walmart with the right connection and it work? I have a Netgear router, but the connection is phone cable, is there a work around for this? I have a couple old dishes
How do the DIY dish antenna speeds and signal strength compare to the external antenna you bought for your other router?
What Att router are you using ?
