is there a plug and play external antenna for Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway
The assigned cell tower is close about 1 mile, but not a good line of sight (trees, buildings etc.) Debating should I try extenders or mesh to use speeds I have which vary from 24 to 11 download and ...
Wilson Amplifiers has a possible solution but it's only 4G LTE. It involves a raised external antenna that captures the signal and sends it to an internal unit that then sends it to the 5688W. Give them a look. The reason I didn't try it was because the trees between me and the cell tower are over 100 feet tall (pine, oak, poplar, elm). I could never erect a safe antenna that would be sturdy and not end up being a lightning rod. If you only need 20-30 feet to clear the trees, maybe it would work for you.
