Kind of a noob question but it's a unique situation.
My office has a Netgear router that has built in Sprint LTE service as a backup/failsafe for when we have fundraising events. The back of the router has 2 spot for antennas. 1 for the LTE and 1 for the wireless component of the Router.
Router: LTE Gateway 6100D
It seems, no matter where I go in town (Austin, TX) to test the unit, I never get better than 1 bar for service on the LTE side of things and speeds that barely crush ~2-3MB. The catch is I'll check the status on an iPhone that's also on the same Sprint LTE network and it gets 3-4 bars and pulls down closer to 12-15MB at any given time.
My question is: Is there a certain brand of Antenna I can buy that would possibly boost it's strength to pull down a better signal? I'm guessing it's the cheap / simple antenna that's causing the issue since the iPhone is getting much better results that the router itself.
Reason we keep this router: It completes the ability to network 2 laser printers and 10-12 laptops at various Event functions where we do the event check in, bidding, and close out at the end of the night.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
