Need stronger signal
At our house we have dropouts during phone conversations too often. We seldom have 4 bars here, usually just 3. Is there anything such as aftermarket hardware to strengthen the signal?
I suspect that 3 or seldom 4 bars alone is 'weak enough' to cause issues. Its more likely an issue with capacity or the site itself. Typically, indoors I have 3 or 4 bars of LTE, and speeds are great. Even if I force B41 LTE (Sprint) with 2 bars at best, speed is typically ~50Mbps, and no issues with dropped calls.
If you are quite the distance from a site (+3 miles) uplink can suffer as well as capacity if you're on B12/B71. If you're in an area that has a single site, and a good amount of users… it 'and' you're seeing issues, I'd recommend calling 611. Its possibly capacity. In a small city near me (Filmore, CA), capacity was (and still kind of is) a huge issue.
