Convert an unused satellite dish into a high-gain 4G LTE antenna
UPDATE: You can view a video I created of the final installation here: • 4G LTE Antenna Final Installation
UPDATE: I played around with the setup and got the dish aligned with the tower nicely now. I tested the speed and I now get the following: Ping 15ms, Download 28Mbps and Upload 7Mbps. Signal measurements are also better now: RSRQ -10.0dB, RSRP -84dBm, RSSI -57dBm and SINR 6dB. The dish is producing around 25dB signal gain. Absolutely incredible results!
Here are some links to shop for the type of LTE antenna I use, please check what type of connectors work on your router, there are screw on and push on types:

Here I take you through a step by step method of converting an unused satellite dish into a high gain 4G LTE antenna.
I recently noticed a severe drop in signal strength on my 4G LTE router and I was experiencing drop-outs and major latency issues.
I observed that my neighbor had installed a microwave dish on his roof and it is pointing directly over my house.
I suspected that his microwave equipment was causing issues with the signal quality of my router and resorted to building a high-gain 4G LTE antenna.
I used an external 4G LTE antenna mounted to an unused satellite dish, there results I obtained where very good and it solved my problem.
I hope you find this information useful.
DISCLAIMER:
Should you opt to try this you do so at your own risk. Working on ladders is dangerous, please take care! You can also install this antenna indoors in a room closest to your cell tower.

Your contribution, no matter how small, will help me to cover my Internet fees which include broadband access and hosting of my Blog. The NASA photographs I download for my research are huge thus the need for broadband, high data access.
Your support is very highly appreciated.
