    If you have home internet you can ask T-Mobile for a "CELL SPOT". It works well in the home and surrounding area.  A true, 3rd party, signal booster is expensive and requires some background. I kluged a car booster for my home until i got the cell spot.

    If you have T-Mobile home internet they will tell you its not compatable with the cell spot. I have not found that to be true.

    If you are asking about an antenna to boost your T-Mobile Gateway, save your money. No improvement. 

  • if you have home net there is a booster that can be added to it but you’ll have to contact TMO to see if you qualify or not..with that being said though most newer phones have wifi/wifi calling but again that would depend on if you have home net or not.

    External antenna for cellular phone service, I have a property outside of town and when I go there I have signal all the way there but as soon as I get to my property off of the main road i have no signals, I was just wondering if I put a antenna will it help or not and does T-Mobile offers these antennas?

    I do not have 5G all my phones are 4G LTE.

    I cant get but 155mps the people here getting 600mbs what external antenna

    are you using? Please help. Thanks Oh yeah for my Tmobile WIFI

  • I currently have T-Mobile home internet. I experimented, by taking the modem to our lake property to see how the reception would be. Being a metal building the reception inside was terrible. So I am looking for a solution such as an antenna to place outside but connect to the inside equipment to provide wifi.

    Be aware that TMobile may cut your service,  as they have started deploying geofencing on Home Internet service.  It would be preferred if they just have it not work remotely rather than axe your service
