Hi,
I am a newbie here, finding this site after not getting answers elsewhere. I have been using a 4G hotspot (Sprint network) for my home internet, with speeds far superior to the 2.5mbps I had on DSL. My highest speeds have been 33mbps download, 9.34 upload, with 38ms latency. I am using wireless clients, and am getting 8-12mbps download, 4mbps upload most of the time.
I dropped DirecTV recently, now using H96 Pro Plus Android Boxes for Kodi and YouTube TV viewing. Sometimes on Kodi, the 1080P pauses, and infrequently crashes.
I am getting 2 bars on my hotspot in its current location, but 3 bars upstairs, but one of my wireless clients loses its signal upstairs. It seems when the clients are converted to repeaters, my download and upload speeds suffer. Interference, I suppose.
I would like to upgrade from the hotspot to a 4G LTE router/gateway with external antennas, and possibly, switch from wifi to a powerline ethernet. I am on Sprint, which uses bands 25, 26, and 41. The nearby tower has the Band 25 output. Any suggestions? I don't want to splurge, preferring to keep my costs under $200 or so. The tower is about 1 mile away line of sight, but heavily forested.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
