I made a bracket to mount my Heath Robinson remote area 4G internet solution. This is a long running saga that started about three years ago. Initially a neighbour agreed to allow me to use her wifi (after spending the afternoon in the beer tent at a local show). Her place about quarter of a mile away and the signal had to be bent around a copse of trees. Spent loads making it work. Then she changed her mind.
I then discovered that there was a very weak 800MHz 4G data signal covering parts of the area. I bought a Huawei 4g router and tried all manner of high gain antennas to try and boost the signal to something usable. I got the best results by mounting the router on top of a 15' pole and using the internal antennas. Still only managed nothing to one bar of signal though. Not surprising considering the nearest mast is 8 miles away on the other side of a hill. A couple of weeks ago I thought I'd try mounting the router in front of a parabolic reflector left over from the original wifi solution and point it towards the mast. Bang! Problem solved, two to three bars of reliable signal. I wish I'd tied it sooner. the next job is a weatherproof casing for the router.
