Hey everyone, I just started a two-month internship in a new city and found out my apartment has no Wi-Fi. It’s baffling how this is happening in today’s world, so I’ll have to depend on my mobile data plan. Setting up a connection is costly and time-consuming. Luckily, I have an unlimited data plan, but it’s slow—about 1MB per three bars—and experiences lots of lag. The spikes are especially frustrating because they stop me from playing online games that need a steady signal. I also own a desktop with a decent antenna setup; you can check it out here if you’re interested: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B003JEN...UTF8&psc=1. I’m wondering if there’s any way to use my desktop as a signal booster or connect directly to the cell tower. Thanks for your help!
I’ve noticed that most locations in the US lack WiFi access. Typically, tenants buy internet from the provider serving the building. The antennas mentioned operate on 2.4 and 5GHz bands, which are common for WiFi worldwide. They likely won’t cover the frequencies used by mobile carriers. If your phone is acting as a hotspot, connecting it via USB might improve performance.
