I only receive 4G at the back of my property which is 400ft away from the house. Is there anyway to extended the antenna out that far?

You might not need to take it to the spot of 4g... The higher the antenna is the better.. So if you get a pole mount and put a pole on top of your house you should see the increased 4g. That's how mine is. Iv never had 4g inside my house.. Iv never had 3G. Only 1x threw the past 8 years... Now I get 4-5 bars 4g in my dinning room and 2bars in the next room..... But I also bought the upgraded indoor antenna because the DT4G comes with the black "desk" antenna... It only give you service if your within 5 feet... So if you want more area buy the 460101 and buy 304447($80)

Do you have a wifi extender to connect the antenna? I had to buy a high power router to share my wifi with my sister who is about 200ft away plus use this antenna on a wifi extender.

You need the range extender if there is anywhere you want to carry your phone that is not serviced by the signal. If you have metal siding on your house place it in a window where there's a good signal and it will more than double your range outside.

Yes, you can extend the range with additional transmitters. We use it on 27 acres. But keep in mind that the range of EACH transmitter is only about 90 feet max. from the center of the transmitter (radius) in a circular pattern (180 feet diameter). To get a larger range you must use more transmitters in an overlapping pattern and on different locations. Keep in mind each unit requires an electrical outlet. We use one in the front, back and both sides of the house, mounted under the roof overhang in a dry location. Best would be inside near a window since the units are not moisture proof but you limited range depending on the construction of your house (brick, rocks, metal roof or siding, trees). With more transmitters our 3 dogs can roam happily around the house. They learned very quickly and stop now even short of the range selected on the transmitters.

I live in a rural area. My range is double - maybe triple - of other standard USB antennas that I tried. I can pick up signals from much further than that but not connect to them. About 300 yards and at a weak connection is the best I've done with mine. Full strength at 100 yards.

No idea as my location in the mountains has very poor reception and I am a technology dummy

My furthest is 75 feet with no problems. If you need range, they made an extender for the antenna.

The cable is short anf I needed an extension. The reception was poor, in my area.

I did not gnd it as my antenna was mounted in my attic. U can try to gnd to anything metal pipe which is going down to the ground

I have received signal up to 3 km in hilly area. Beyond this, I didn't tested and in plain areas range may be even greater may be up to 5-8 km. Buildings and Trees are enemy to signal and try to keep antenna as up as possible, say on the topmost floor of your building.

That is a little far, this thing might not make it, you may need a higher powered AP with a separate high gain directional antenna. I've had it work well up to 200ft.

I have found that the antenna used indoors does not work very well.I have heard the best way to receive shortwave is to set up a good antenna outdoors and run it inside.

I always suggest a larger antenna. The 4 ft will give you more transmit range.

If you're planning on using the 'rubber duckie' antenna that comes with the unit then no you can't get that range. However, with an outside antenna with at least 3 decibel gain that 1 km range is possible. Mount the antenna as high as possible and away from obstructions. You should possibly check with the FCC (if you're transmitting in the U.S.) for their regulations concerning these FM transmitters.

I have a home which is a partial Faraday Cage (low transmission of telecommunications); footprint 65'x60'...I get good reception throughout the house and on the outside of house near base...I have the extender, but misplaced power cord...with the extender it would allow the entire 3/4 acre house and yard may be possible... my biggest problem is volume, I need the spkr phone to hear well most of the time. Otherwise, it is better than my old system.

My apartment is about 1300 sqft. and i get reception pretty much everywhere in apt. From this range extender. Obviously the further away I am from the device the weaker the signal.

Mobile 4G (460108) works much better that 3G (801212). For maximum performance, use antenna 31133.
