Thread: 3g router and external aerial help

This is for work - i know very little about aerials and 3g stuff so i need some help.

I have to purchase (i was asked for this over the phone) a 3g router that is able to take a 3g telstra sim, and an external aerial to boost the signal as currently the client is only getting 1 bar, in the middle of nowhere.

What brand, where in darwin do i start, and the chances of getting it tomorrow, morning .....

So far all i can find is i possibly want one of these
BiPAC 7800GZ.

But what about an external 3g aerail, who sells them etc......

If the client is using a usb stick tell them to purchase a metal colander and just poke it half through the center then just point it around until they get the best signal. *shrugs* used to work wonders for me ^_^

Talk to the guys at PhoneZone in the bottom of Casurina. They should know what modem and aerial you need.

I know North Australian Technologies sold External 3G antennae's however they are now closed.

The telstra nextg wireless hotspots have a connector for an external antenna.


I think these are the right ones


Telstra Pre-Paid Wireless Broadband - Internet - Telstra - WiFi
