how to improve signal and speed on home internet¿

I'm only getting about 25 to 45 Mbps down and similar up. I keep seeing people get in the 200s down! How can I get those kind of speeds? I'm not very far from a tower and I've tried the Nokia Gateway all over the house!

  • If you have the Arcadyan Gateway and the more recent firmware update you will not have any advanced metric information via the web browser interface. You will have to use the mobile application to have more information and be able to manage the Arcadyan gateway. 

    The Nokia gateway web UI is much better and allows cellular metric information and admin capability. 

    So, getting the cellular metrics depends upon the gateway you have.

    I get over 500, all the time… Tower is 2 blocks from my house with a clear shot out the window

    I would like to know how to boost the speed and signal as well.  we had storms in March and we are being told that they have no intention of bringing the service back to its previous functionality.  we have service (crappy and unreliable, but we can use it) so they quote that we used the service so it is the expectation that our quality remains crappy but this should be what we expect.   I don't currently have another provider in my area-- although the moment we do we'll be switching our entire account (because if you know there is an issue and choose not to fix it…. well. )  but until then I need to have a more reliable signal and preferable better speeds. 

    I have no issue purchasing an antennea or whatever I have to do-- If that is the only option-- what kind of antennea?  Brand? Recommendations?

    Depends on if you are happy with what you have. I installed an external antenna made a world of difference very happy.

    Which external antenna did you go with and where did you place it?
